Best for panel and service upgrades
Riviera Electric
NYC Master Electrician license #012526, verified active
A family-run Brooklyn shop (Sunset Park, 579 46th St) that lives on the bread-and-butter big jobs: meter and service upgrades, panel replacements, EV chargers, and DOB violation removal. The license is one of the most active in Brooklyn by permit volume, and owners answer the phone. If your 1920s service needs to go from a 60-amp fuse box to a 200-amp panel, this is the lane they run in.
