Our Expertise
Comprehensive electrical services delivered with safety as our highest priority.
Panel Upgrades
We move Queens homes from a tired 100-amp service to a 200-amp panel — the modern standard for most houses here. It starts with a load calculation on what you actually run, not a guess. We pull the NYC DOB permit before the work begins and coordinate with Con Edison when the service itself has to change. Every branch circuit is re-landed, tested, and labeled so the directory still makes sense years later.
Lighting Design
Recessed lighting planned on real spacing so you get even light instead of hot spots and dark corners. Architectural LED under cabinets, in coves, and along stairs to shape a room rather than just brighten it. Smart dimmers and scene control wired in during the same trip, with neutrals pulled to every switch box. In older plaster-ceiling homes we scope the access honestly before we start cutting.
Emergency Repairs
Same-day response across Queens and the boroughs, 24/7. Burning or fishy smells near a panel, sparking outlets, a breaker that trips the second you reset it, or partial power loss all point to heat at a connection — and that is how fires start. We isolate the fault and make it safe first. Then we diagnose the actual cause and quote the permanent repair.
EV Chargers
Level 2 installation on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, typically 40 to 60 amps, that refills your car overnight. We start with a load review of your existing service, because plenty of homes do not need a panel upgrade at all. Then we run conduit from the panel to the garage or driveway-facing wall and mount the unit at a height that keeps the cable off the ground. Permits and inspection are handled as part of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Permits, panel upgrades, Con Edison, and emergency calls — answered straight.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Queens, NY?
Yes. Electrical panel upgrades in NYC typically require a DOB permit. JK Electric Bros handles the permit coordination as part of the job.
How long does a panel upgrade take in Queens?
Most panel upgrades are completed in one day. More complex service upgrades involving Con Edison coordination may take longer.
Do I need a panel upgrade to install an EV charger?
Not always. We review your existing panel capacity and load before recommending an upgrade. Some installations can use existing service; others require a panel or service upgrade first.
What's the difference between a panel upgrade and a service upgrade?
A panel upgrade replaces the breaker box inside your home. A service upgrade increases the total amperage coming into the property from Con Edison — a bigger scope that requires utility coordination.
Do you coordinate with Con Edison for service upgrades?
Yes. For service upgrades that require utility-side work, we handle the Con Edison coordination process.
Is your work done to NYC Electrical Code?
Yes. Every job is completed in compliance with the NYC Electrical Code, and we coordinate the DOB permit and inspection process where the work calls for it.
Do you offer same-day emergency electrical service in Queens?
Yes. We offer same-day emergency response across Queens and all NYC boroughs for issues like burning smells, sparking outlets, breaker trips, and partial power loss.

Common Questions About Electricians in Queens
Pricing, panel capacity, and when to call a pro — the questions Queens homeowners ask us most.
How much do electricians charge per hour in NYC?
Most NYC electricians charge $100–$200 per hour, and residential work in Queens usually lands in the $100–$150/hr range. Emergency and after-hours calls cost more. Call JK Electric Bros at 623-565-7661 for a free estimate.
Do I need a panel upgrade to install an EV charger?
Not always. We look at your existing panel capacity and how much load your home already carries before recommending anything — plenty of Queens homes can take a Level 2 charger as-is. Call JK Electric Bros at 623-565-7661 for a free estimate.
Can I do my own electrical work in New York?
Small tasks on your own home are one thing, but panel work, new circuits, and service changes belong with a qualified electrician — improper wiring is a leading cause of house fires. If you're unsure where your job falls, we'll tell you straight. Call JK Electric Bros at 623-565-7661 for a free estimate.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Queens?
A residential panel upgrade in Queens generally runs $1,500–$4,000+ depending on amperage, panel location, and how much rework the existing circuits need. We quote panel upgrades as a flat project price, not hourly. Call JK Electric Bros at 623-565-7661 for a free estimate.
