My experience working with Richie of Electric A/C Inc. was a very positive one. He responded quickly to my call and went to my mother's house to assess what needed to be done in addition to replacing the circuit box that was affected by water damage from leaking pipes. I was given a quote that I agreed to and the finished work was done so professionally with the work done so neat and clean. He went above and beyond by fixing and painting the wall that had to be cut into for them to splice new wiring. I recommend him highly to anyone looking for a licensed electrician. read more

Something shorted in our very old home. Rich gave us an initial quote and was able to send a technician within a couple of hours. The tech, Johnny, was very friendly and didn't mind all our questions and he was in constant contact with Rich giving him updates on the potential problems as he tried to locate the issue. Luckily, the problem was located and resolved within the initial hour quoted. The whole process was painless, efficient and kind. All homeowners dread these kinds of issues as the potential expense can easily balloon. This is our second interaction with Rich and both times his communication and pricing have been honest and have put us at ease. We definitely recommend him to friends and family. read more

I had a great experience working with Richie. His honesty and professionalism gave me confidence to schedule future work in updating my home. read more

I've hired Rich and his team to upgrade to 200 amps. The team is very professional and cleaned up the job site perfectly at the end of the day. They were able to hook me up to generators during the process, which is very important for me since I work from home. My general contractor said the wiring art in the electrical panel was done amazingly. Furthermore, the DOB inspector even told me in secret that Rich is one of the better electricians he know within the city. I would hire again. read more

Greta experience again. Rich came by on time and reviewed three projects quickly. He told me how much it would cost and told me how to address a few issues on my own. You really cannot ask for more. read more

Richie was great. Gave a professional and REASONABLE quote, has a license, had business cards, had insurance; he was legitimate. He installed a Tesla wall charger for me on my building a couple of days after accepting quote. Despite a little hiccup it went smooth. He even has guys that patch and paint after the electrical job is done. Took him 3 hours. Very professional, very responsive; would highly recommend him. He's got a good team. read more

As a first time customer and needed to fix a tenant's issue quickly. I could not believe how fast Richie responded to my phone call, text and send out his team to fix the problem within an hour. They provided a reasonable price, excellent service, very professional, prompt communications and arrived quickly. What more can I ask for in a excellent company. I will definitely highly recommend and use this company again for any other upcoming issues. read more

We lost power to three bedrooms and our bathroom a few weeks ago in early December. We were in a bind so we called Electric A/C on a Saturday (based on their reviews) to see if they could help. The owner, Richie, was able to send Johnny, one of his electricians over as he was already working nearby. Johnny was able to assess and identify the situation and provide steps to fix the issue. He communicated with me throughout the entire time and walked me through all that needed to be done. Johnny and Pablo came back the following day and were able to install the new circuits. They were professional, courteous, tidy, and timely in their work. I will be calling these guys again for any future electrical issues. read more

Richie and his team, Johnny and Pablo were awesome. They came and assessed the problem and scheduled a time to do the repairs but called me days ahead the following day to ask if I would be available. Johnny and Pablo were attentive and assured me that they would be able to address the issue. They absolutely did and made sure everything was functioning properly and called me for a follow-up to ensure everything was working. Great team. Would definitely recommend! read more

Once again Rich and his crew saved the day. While preparing to sell the house, we had one inspection issue that needed to be fixed before sale (GFI outlet outdoor). Rich sent his crew over same day and fixed the issue. He sent them back the following day to replace older pipe just to make it look pretty for the pre closing inspection. Their attention to detail and pride of workmanship is stellar. Pablo and Johnny are amazing guys to work with. They are friendly, respectful and clean. There is no need to hire anyone else for your electrical and HAVAC work. read more

This was the best experience I've ever had with an electrician. To begin, my contractor tried to assemble and install a sauna for me. This is something I've saved up for and dreamt of for years! Sadly he was not prepared for the requirements and not only botched the assembly, he threw away the control panel, wired the heater into an external outlet, nothing worked and then didn't show back up to fix it. RICH TO THE RESCUE. He came the same day I called to assess the situation, he provided a detailed quote, he explained each step, he made a date for the work (2 days later!) and then showed up on time and did everything to perfection. We even added on an outdoor fan hook-up which he took care of as well. The work is immaculate, he kept us posted at each stage, and was just a total pro. I'm not a big review writer but honestly -- I've just come out of my sauna and am super grateful! read more

Richie is very kind and communicative! He came and looked at any and all possible problems when it came to a line in our house that was not working. He took his time and answered all of my questions. He was able to bring the lights back into all rooms! I highly recommend him as he gets to the source and solves the problem quickly. Looking forward to working with him again if any more problems come up! read more

They are excellent. Responsive, communicative and really professional. They did a great job on the installation too. I highly recommend them. thank you. read more

Richie responds very quickly, and he does a top notch job with his team. Richie is very transparent and let's me know how he's going to fix things; and any potential issues he may run into beforehand as well. I am extremely happy with all the work I got done in my building. I live in a very, very old building in Astoria, NY. I got ten dedicated new electrical lines installed across two separate apartment floors. Also got two splicer boxes installed, lights replaced, and additional outlets replaced. It was a very big job that was done quickly and professionally. Richie, Devon, Pablo, and Johny were all superb. I researched several people for the job, and found both Richie's pricing and personality best. I would recommend this business for everyone. Really did an outstanding job for a HUGE project. read more

I'm usually pretty skeptical when it comes to business with mostly 5 star reviews, but NYC Queens Electrician is the real deal. Richie responded quickly and had Devin at my apartment within hours, it wasn't even a rush job, but appreciated the same day scheduling and service for the installation of 3 smart switches at a reasonable price. I also really enjoyed reading the professional and matter of fact responses to to the poor reviews they received. Moral of story: You can't please everyone, but NYC Queens Electrician is doing their best! read more

Only service to send response same day contacted. Fixed problem with wall switch next day. Friendly and neat.

We hired Richie and his guys to install lights in the living room ceiling as well as a ceiling fan. When I called to schedule an estimate, Richie picked up and scheduled it for the next day. He arrived on time, and when we told him that what we were planning for the space, he offered suggestions. We had thought we'd need 6-8 lights for the space, but he said that'd be too bright if using LED lights. He could have easily installed them all and made the extra money, but he was honest about what was needed and cared more about it looking right and us being happy with the results. This was one of the main reasons we hired him over the other company we got an estimate from. Once we called to hire him, we were able to schedule the work for the next week. He started the job, doing the measuring himself, and then his guys Devon and Johnny did most of the work. The guys were super friendly; my 5yr old loved talking with them and was upset when they were done bc he wouldn't see them again. All of them followed COVID protocols, always wearing their masks. Other than a short lunch break, they worked straight through each day and cleaned up before leaving at night. Initially, the ceiling fan posed a problem. We had ordered an expensive fan from Wayfair that had good reviews for being quiet. However, once installed, it was making a whopping sound. Moreover, it wasn't sitting right, swaying slightly with the blades. Devon tried various tactics to get it to sit right and not make noise. It was getting late, passed the time they should have left, but they stayed to work through the problem. We were on the verge of contacting Wayfair to return it, when Devon figured out that because the ceiling was uneven, there was a small gap between the fan and the ceiling. He figured out a solution, and now the fan sits flush against the ceiling, doesn't sway and is virtually silent. They really went above and beyond. Finally, they sent in Charlie Herrera to patch up the holes. This was another reason we hired these guys over the other company: because they had someone to patch up and paint before final payment was due. Charlie was great. He showed up on time and did the work quickly. He even patched up a few cracks in our plaster that wasn't part of the job. Before leaving, his worker was on the floor with a wet rag, wiping up the dust. We ended up hiring him to come back and paint the whole place, and we are so pleased with the results. (Charlie: charliewoodflooring@aol.com, 718.909.8289) Richie had estimated 2-3 days to complete the job, and they were done in 3. They were a pleasure to do business with, and we love their results. We recommend them in the highest possible regards. read more

i was in need of a honest electrician to do some repairs at one of my apts in astoria that needed lights in bedroom and foyer as required by law or i assume it was but the nice honest electrician told me that its not about repairing but to connect the power as bedroom and foyer had absolutely no wiring, no sockets , no power , no nothing .wow this is going to cost me a ugly penny but no no no , nyc queens electrician guys did the job in one day and cost was reasonable and now there is lights on without heavy halogen light stands in the foyer and bedroom. they also checked the other outlets and circuit box to make sure all is well and all is well and now the city inspector can kick rocks cause all is up to city standard . i usually dont give 5 stars yelp reviews but nyc queens electricians deserves it. read more

I had Ritchie and Johnny help on an emergency job this week. I bought an old house in Jackson Heights two years ago; it's come with plenty of quirks, especially in the electric department. I was attempting to change a light bulb in my son's room when the old fixture detached from the ceiling leaving frayed and exposed wiring. When I turned on the switch to see if things still worked, sparks shot from the ceiling and all the electricity on the second floor shut off. I called Ritchie; he said no problem. The crew showed up in the morning, and they fixed the wiring and changed the fixture the same day. Their attentiveness exceeded my expectations. I should note this is the second time I used the Electric AC crew. They changed an old breaker box for me over the summer when my air conditioners kept blowing the old glass fuses. They also handled the patching and painting after they removed the old box. So good to have this all handled by one team for a clear and transparent price. I highly recommend these guys!! read more

Rich came to our apartment to fix a broken switch. I reached out via Yelp after seeing his stellar reviews and he was able to come the following day. Everything from scheduling to the actual repair was straightforward and reasonable. Very, very happy with the service. I highly recommend Rich and his business for any electrical work you need done. read more

The light fixture is up and it's perfect. We have 12 foot ceilings and Rich is super skilled on a very tall ladder. He took his time and left everything spotless for us. Thank you!! read more

Richie responded very quickly and came out to my house within the same day (huge deal especially since it is a holiday weekend). He instantly figured out why my 2nd floor wasn't receiving any power while the rest of the house was fine. He is very reasonable, professional and good natured. I would recommend Richie and his business for anyone, especially for any emergencies you may have read more

I didn't end up using Rich because he figured what the burning smell in my laundry room was just talking to me on the phone! He asked me what kind of dryer I had and told me Samsung dryers were known for that smell. He told me to call an appliance repair person. He was exactly right! Thank you Rich for saving me time and money! read more

These guys were great. I had a special project which involved replacing fluorescent lighting with LED behind a very heavy bathroom mirror that needed to be removed from a wall and reattached along with a dimmer switch installation. Rich (the owner) was very responsive in terms of texts/emails and expediting the paper work. His team (Jonny and Pablo) were friendly and competent when giving an estimate and doing the job. The work was done with care as it was a bit tricky (removing the mirror of the wall, replacing wiring and existing units, installing the LEDs) and came out as exactly as imagined. I would definitely recommend these guys without reservations. read more

I needed to replace my bathroom vent and came across a potential problem. I called the electrician get a estimate and to set up an appointment. The electrician listened to my problem an advised me on how to resolve it. I appreciate their honest & would trust any future work to this company. read more

Richard and his team are great to work with! They always respond swiftly to our enquiries, and were able to sort out our issues in a timely manner. I highly recommend them. read more

Sent a message for a quote and appointment request. Was told, "tomorrow between 1-3." I provided my address, phone number, and email, so there were plenty of contact options. It's "tomorrow" at 3:30 and not a word from these guys. No notice of lateness, no notice of cancellation, nada. Very unprofessional. read more

I ended up not needing their services, but my experience warrants a review and will show the character and integrity of this business. I was having an issue with a Security Alarm system and the monitoring company told me to contact an electrician. A brief internet search led me to find these guys. I called and spoke to Rich today. He picked up the phone on maybe the second ring and listened to me ramble about the issues I was having. He said he would be glad to come out, but bluntly told me I likely do not need his services because the error message on the alarm usually has to do with an error on the end of the monitoring company (its a communication error). He appears to be 100% accurate. The "800" number agents at the monitoring company were quick to brush me off to hiring an electrician, rather than solving the issue on their end. I usually don't write many yelp reviews, but I do deal with a ton of contractors by nature of my job and I can say if your looking for an honest electrician, this is your guy. Since I bluntly said I was going off of "advice" from the alarm company, he could have easily just come out and charged me instead advising me that the error is more than likely not due to the electrical wiring. We will definitely be calling these guys should a need arise. read more

Called Rich and Devin recently for a 200 amp service upgrade and they completed it in an excellent and professional fashion, thanks again gentleman!! read more

Needed a service call to check out why several recessed lights were flickering. Living in a coop that requires licensed electricians who are insured and have a covid safety plan, it was difficult to find one that was willing/able to provide these documents. Rich patiently worked with us to get everything in order and was responsive via email. Onto the work itself, rich was able to find and resolve the issue without having to open up the walls (fortunately). While he was here, he also took at other issues we were having and fixed that as well. Would recommend and will save his contacts in case we need an electrician again! read more

I just had my lights installed by these guys and I couldn't be happier! I originally envisioned how I wanted the lights to be placed in my studio and these guys were able to bring that to life. There was a certain way I wanted my lights to be however with their expertise they advised me to think about going another rout about it. Trusting them and their expertise did not let me down, not one bit! Not only were these guys friendly, but they were professional and came 100% on time. 10/10 I would definitely recommend these guys. If you don't you're making a mistake. I was a little hesitant after reading the one star review about them being tardy , however I took the risk following my own gut instincts and was not let down! It just goes to show, you should take these reviews with a grain of salt! read more

My husband wanted to install a smart thermostat but, after disconnecting the existing thermostat, realized he didn't have all the parts he needed. He reconnected the old thermostat but somehow wired it wrong. Then he left for an extended business trip. I knew it was simply a matter of which wire was in the wrong place but I had no way of figuring that out. Richie arrived about 20 minutes after I called and we had heat again in less than an hour. And he charged me a very reasonable rate when I was afraid a simple job would cost me an arm and a leg. Will definitely call them again if needed! read more

HIGHLY recommend! Richie was responsive and able to schedule my work the same week I reached out. The price he quoted was the price I paid after the work was completed. Devin, the electrician who did the install and repair, was extremely professional and answered all of my questions. Very happy with the results and will use them again in the future! read more

Service was top notch. I needed kitchen wiring repaired that a previous contractor screwed up and Rich came to the rescue. He had to cancel the first consultation visit due to emergency calls due to a cold snap in the city, but he was very communicative and offered alternative dates and times in 3-hour blocks, which was reasonable. He even showed up early within the first hour. The consult and repairs (credit to Devin too) were done with diligence and attention to detail. Devin even tested out the other outlets and re-wrote the circuit breaker guide to correctly point which breaker lead to which line. I highly reccomend Rich, Devin, and the team. read more

I had a circuit blow during a rainstorm which caused all the lights in the apartment to go out. Thought it was going to be a big job, but Rich was able to come early the next morning and fixed it in 20 minutes. His rate is reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Rich came out promptly next morning. He was thorough and professional and, get this, didnt try to upsell us on work we don't need! He told us to take certain energy reducing steps, and wait for a month until next bill. That's it. Because of that, we will be calling him as soon as we need the work done. Real pro. read more
