24/7 emergency service
Electrical hazard
Sparking outlets, a hot or buzzing panel, breakers that keep tripping, flickering across the whole house or a burning smell with no obvious source. Kill the breaker if you can do it safely and call. Older wiring and fuse panels are the usual culprits.
Overview
Electrical, done right
Much of New York was wired for a different era. Fuse panels still sit in basements across the boroughs. Cloth-covered and knob-and-tube wiring hides behind plaster in rowhouses and brownstones. Outlets are scarce, ungrounded, and asked to carry air conditioners, induction ranges and chargers they were never meant to serve.
Empire Pro NY brings that wiring up to what your home needs today. We troubleshoot the breaker that keeps tripping, replace fuse boxes with modern panels, add circuits and outlets where you actually use them, and rewire whole homes during renovations. Every job is done to code by licensed electricians, with permits and inspections where required.
Electrical problems can be dangerous, so we treat sparking, burning smells and hot panels as emergencies and answer 24/7. Estimates are free, and because we are a full-service contractor, the walls we open get closed and painted by our own crew.
What we fix
Breakers that keep tripping
An overloaded circuit, a failing breaker or a short in the wiring. We trace it and fix the cause instead of resetting the symptom.
Flickering or dimming lights
Loose connections, an overloaded service or a neutral problem. Some of these are fire risks, so we take them seriously.
Fuse boxes and undersized panels
A fuse panel or an old service cannot safely run a modern home. We upgrade the panel and coordinate the service change with the utility.
Old or unsafe wiring
Knob-and-tube, cloth-covered and aluminum branch wiring all have known problems. We evaluate, repair or rewire, and document the work.
Burning smells, sparks or hot panels
Shut off the breaker if you can do it safely, leave the area and call. We treat these as emergencies, day or night.

Questions people ask
How much does electrical work cost?
It depends on the scope, the condition of the existing wiring and whether permits and inspections are involved. We price after we see it, and estimates are free.
Do I need to replace my fuse box?
If it is in good condition and your loads are modest, not always. But a fuse panel limits what you can safely run and can complicate insurance and sales. We will give you an honest assessment.
Can you install an EV charger in a rowhouse or driveway?
Yes. We assess your panel capacity, run the circuit and install the charger. If the service needs upgrading first, we tell you up front.
Do you handle DOB permits and co-op board paperwork?
Yes. We file for electrical permits where required, schedule inspections and provide the insurance and licensing documents boards and managing agents ask for.
What should I do if I smell something burning near an outlet or panel?
If you can do so safely, shut off the breaker for that circuit or the main. Do not use the outlet. Leave the area if the smell is strong and call us. If you see flames, call emergency services first.
