"I had a great experience with Solaris Electrical! Semir personally came to my home and did an excellent job. He responded to my posting very quickly and came the next day to install a 240 V (Level 2) outlet for my EV charger in the garage. He also upgraded my existing electrical panel and completed everything quickly, precisely, and with outstanding quality. The work was done neatly and professionally — no mess, no delays, and everything works perfectly. I’m very happy with the result and will definitely use Solaris Electrical again for future electrical projects. Highly recommend this company — Semir is professional, efficient, and reliable!"

"Two electricians from Blaze worked in our building for two days. They installed all the required circuits and outlets to power our new electric appliances. They were very responsive to my instructions about how to route the wiring. Pleasant demeanor."

"I have no problem with the quality of the work performed or the professionalism of the technician. He was very efficient and polite and did the work quickly. I'm very happy with the results of the work. The new light switch works great. My issue is with punctuality and responsiveness. My appointment window was for 12-4 pm, and the technician didn't show up until after 5. I did not receive a phone call, text or email to inform me that he would be late. I called the office to inquire and was told that someone would get back to me. Nobody called back. It would have been nice to know what was going on. I had no idea what was going on until my bell rang at a little after 5 and the technician arrived. I would have appreciated an explanation or an apology, but I received neither. For that reason, I can't give an A rating across the board. Based strictly on the quality of the work, I would hire again, but I was not happy with the other aspects."

"Home owner in Hollis, NY Among other electrical jobs, David installed outlets in my home. I found him to be quite knowledgeable, skillful, and professional. He was punctual in his arrival on the job and he completed the job in a timely manner. He made sure his work followed “code” and left me with a safe, well done job. I also found this pricing to be quite fair and competitive. I will absolutely request to use Power On’s services in the future."

"Jamel was a dream to work with from start to finish. He communicated with us clearly from the start and was transparent about pricing. We ultimately hired him for two additional jobs, including a new panel and extensive wiring through plaster walls in our older home, all of which came out wonderful. I would highly recommend his services to anybody in need of an experienced electrician and contractor."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in East Elmhurst, NY

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
