I am so glad I chose White Electric of New York, LLC in Port Chester, NY 10573 https://www.whiteelectricinc.com/ (914) 946-5566! I needed my entire house checked for electrical safety. After a big thunderstorm, half of the house's electrical lighting would not work. In addition, most all of the electrical outlets were only two-prong and thus had no grounding pin port and may have dated back to the 1950's. Further, some outlets that did have a three-prong outlet did not seem to have any actual ground connection to them at all, thus posing a safety hazard. There were also some previously disconnected outlets that were actually still live and exposed posing additional safety hazards. As I knew nothing about electricity, I knew enough that it was a job that needed expert attention, but who to choose? I contacted at least seven different companies and had at least three companies come out to the house to do an in-person inspection and estimate. I work as an attorney. Part of my job as an attorney is to make assessments of people when they are sitting in front of me for a deposition. I've evaluated thousands of people during depositions to assess their credibility, competence, and reliability. Therefore, as each electrician arrived at my house, I was simultaneously evaluating them as well to get a read on their character and competence. One company that visited (I'll call them "Company C"), was an absolute "no go". I knew within three minutes that this was not going to work and the more time they spent, the further this initial impression was confirmed. Such an instant bad vibe. Another company that visited (I'll call them "Company B"), was ok and I was actually going to hire them. The company had a ton of excellent and glowing reviews on Home Advisor which also influenced my leaning towards hiring "Company B". However, I wanted to check at least one more company to compare prices. That company was White Electric. The supervisor, Matt, arrived personally at my house to do the estimate. Almost immediately based on his manner, way of talking, attitude, etc., I felt very confident about his abilities. I instantly got a "good vibe". Matt was thorough, detailed, and explained what needed to be done, and some possible things that should be done and why. Matt later provided a detailed, written estimate. The costs came out roughly comparable to "Company B", however because Matt had such a good personal impression, I decided to go with White Electric instead of "Company B" and I signed the agreement with White Electric to schedule the work. My initial impressions of Matt were one thing, but what about the workers who would actually do the work? Would they be the same? Was Matt just a "front man" to hook the client, but then the actual workers would be less than desirable? I was a bit apprehensive. I am what you might call a "Type-A" personality. I am very detailed, always apprehensive, constantly worrying, very perceptive, very sensitive. I am also very, very, very, particular about who I let into my home. I am something of a reclusive, I don't like people in general because in the abstract, people tend to be inconsiderate, rude, and selfish. So I was very "on edge" when the actual workmen arrived as I did not know what they would be like. Long story short, the workmen were EXCELLENT! ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT! The workmen who arrived were Jason and Kyle. This was not just a one-day encounter, mind you. The work I had done required several all-day visits. At least four separate all-day visits. I was on-site all day, every day with Jason and Kyle as they worked. So I had the opportunity to see their work style and character over an extended period of time and in person. They were on time. They were efficient. They worked competently. They were considerate. They worked clean. During some aspects of the installation/repair work, unforeseen obstacles or problems arose in the work. What you might call an "Uh oh!" moment. Something unexpected. For example, a hidden beam or obscured obstacle was in the way during wiring, or a challenging wiring path was encountered. I could see that Jason took his time to analyze the situation and come up with several proposed solutions. He kept me informed of possible options and gave me the final choice as to what course of action to employ. Accordingly, if any unforeseen challenges arose thereafter, I instantly thought "Oh, Jason will be able to take care of it, no matter what it was! He will get the job done!" and I would not have to worry about it. Also during this time I worked and communicated with Laura in the office. She assisted with coordinating scheduling, invoicing, fielding any questions or concerns I had, etc. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Clearly, the entire crew at White Electric is a "Class A" operation. I recommend White Electric with no hesitation. Any questions?

I'm glad I selected White Electric for rewiring and adding lighting throughout my house, even though they had higher estimates than other contractors I brought in. They work quickly, on time and on budget. It took them less than a week for a whole house. I worked with Andrew Steel and he was easy to talk to, listened well, and communicated clearly what he thinks needed to be done. He saved me more than $3,000 of unnecessary work that another contractor said was needed for safety reasons. The office also keeps me updated on progress and regularly sends clear, updated invoices. The office is also easy to contact. I would give them 5 stars if not for one thing: they left a mess of wooden blocks and insulation in the attic. I wouldn't hesitate to call on them again and plan to use them for landscaping lighting; but I will be sure to tell them to keep things a little cleaner. read more

We had White Electric back to install 2 flood lights for the back of our home, a motion sensor light for the driveway, a deck light, and some Z wave enabled outlets. The job went extremely well, and everything they did works perfectly. Pricing was above average, but on the plus side, we have not been let down with their service or work quality so we definitely feel the value is there. read more

Roslyn A. I'm writing this review for White Electric with a great sigh of relief. I called White for what I thought was annual maintenance. A plug in the bedroom didn't work, a porch light had broken off in the socket and I had some exterior lights that didn't work. Well, in the process of fixing the little things the technicians discovered a BIG problem. There was a short somewhere in my home. After spending a great deal of time the gentlemen finally found the problem in a crawl space, in the farthest reaches of my basement. Part of the wiring in the crawl space had deteriorated to the point of sending out sparks. The technicians showed me I-Phone pictures of the burned wires and even I could see that this was a fire just waiting to happen. All I can do is thank these two young men who did not leave until my home was safe. Westchester County 2-22-18 read more

These guys are top notch. I've used them on multiple occasions and have always been extremely satisfied. This is an example of a business where you get what you pay for. White is not the cheapest, but in exchange for the premium, you get to deal with a professionally run electrical contracting firm. There's always someone there to answer the phone. The estimator shows up when he says he will, as does the crew. read more

I highly recommend White Electric not only for their excellent work but for their outstanding employees. They have done numerous jobs in our home ranging from small (light fixtures) to major (generator). Each project was approached with the same level of courtesy and professionalism. They explained the work necessary, gave me options and their estimates were fair and reasonable. The quality of their work surpassed all other contractors we've used in the past. They are on speed dial now. read more

I used White Electric several times. The work they did was very good, but I have a few issues and I probably won't use them again. First scheduling with them is a nightmare. You can wait weeks for service, and if they've already pulled your permit you'll have to wait. Second they are very expensive compared to other electricians. Third I had to dispute a bill that I already paid them for several months, which should have taken a day or two. read more

What's the point of having continuous business with electricians if they can't help you out in an emergency, especially one that can cause a fire. I've done business with them for several years and they've done business with my family. I requested an emergency visit and I got this ridiculous excuse about being booked a month ahead and they needed to meet deadlines. Whatever happened to overtime and weekends? This whole situation makes for a stomach turning customer experience. read more

I don't know what I would do without White Electric. I have tried several other outfits, but could never find anyone good enough to keep on the permanent roster. I've been using this company for two years now, big and small jobs, and am so impressed. When they need to "rough-out" it is always done with precision. The guys offer smart solutions, and are always very nice. Clearly, I highly recommend these electricians. read more

The service was good, but I don't like the way they contact customers now. They only email them and don't call. I never got a message they supposably sent me and finally called when I didn't respond. My main complaint is they installed a ceiling fan for me and it died four years later. They came to look into the problem and charged me $174.00 just to tell me it needed to be replaced! That's way to much in my opinion. So now I have to buy another one and have it put in which will cost another $200 or so. I would avoid using this company mainly because they charge to much and obviously don't seem to install things correctly. read more
