Commack Electrical Company handles residential and commercial electrical work across Commack and the wider Suffolk County area. From a dead outlet that needs tracing to a full panel replacement ahead of a kitchen renovation, we take the call, scope the job on the phone, and confirm the price before anything gets scheduled. Straight answers on the phone. Real electrical work. Quick to respond.
Every call is answered around the clock, any day of the week. Whether the issue is an urgent fault or a planned upgrade, you get a real person who knows the trade and can talk through what the job involves before you commit to anything.
Not every electrician works the same way, and the difference usually shows up before anyone sets foot on the property. When you call, the conversation starts with the scope: what is happening, where it is happening, and what the job is likely to involve. The price follows from that, and it is confirmed before anything is booked.
We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across Commack and Suffolk County. Homes in this area were wired in different decades, and it shows in the panels. A house built in the 1960s carries different wiring considerations than one built in the 1990s, and both are different again from a commercial unit on a shared service. Knowing what to look for going in means the diagnostic visit covers the right ground.
Calls are answered at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays. For last-minute faults and urgent repairs, prompt response, even for last-minute electrical calls, is part of how we work, not an exception to it.
Good electrical work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and most of it starts with a symptom the homeowner has already noticed. A light that flickers when nothing else is on. A breaker that trips every time the microwave runs. A faint burning smell near an outlet that has been there for a week. Each of those is a signal, and each one points toward a specific part of the circuit.
Dead outlets are one of the most common calls we get, and they are not always what they appear. A single dead outlet can mean a tripped GFCI elsewhere on the same circuit, a loose connection behind the plate, or a wiring fault further back in the run. Warm or discolored outlets, outlets that spark when something is plugged in, and outlets with a faint burning smell behind them all warrant a closer look before the problem gets worse.
Flickering lights point to a different set of causes: a loose neutral, a failing connection at the fixture, or a circuit that is carrying more load than it was designed for. A buzzing panel is worth a call on its own. Breakers that trip repeatedly, or that trip and will not reset, often indicate a circuit drawing more current than the breaker is rated for, a sign the panel or the circuit layout needs attention.
A burning smell from an outlet or a wall switch is not a symptom to wait on. It usually means insulation is heating up somewhere in the run, and that is the kind of fault that gets worse with time. Electrical work done to the standard the next inspection expects means tracing the fault completely, not just clearing the obvious point. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
Keeping a home safe starts with the wiring behind the walls, and the panel is where most of that story begins. Older panels get replaced for several reasons: age, failing breakers, capacity that no longer matches the load, or a buzzing and warm enclosure that signals a problem inside. In some cases the panel itself is sound but the service feeding it needs upgrading to handle modern electrical demands.
A 100-amp service was standard for decades, but it was sized for a home with far fewer circuits and appliances than most households now run. An upgrade to 200-amp service involves pulling a new service entrance, replacing the meter base if needed, and installing a new panel with the capacity to carry the additional load. What that involves at your address depends on the current setup, and that is what the scoping call is for.
Where the main panel cannot carry an added load without replacing the whole service, a subpanel gives a dedicated portion of the home or building its own breaker space. That approach is common for workshop additions, garage conversions, and finished basements. Load calculations are part of how we size the work, and they happen before anything is quoted. Wiring work checked against code before sign-off is how panel jobs close out. Reach out and we'll start at the panel.
From older homes to new commercial builds, the wiring behind the walls is what everything else depends on. Installation and replacement work covers a wide range of jobs, and most of them connect back to a single question: does the circuit behind it match what is being asked of it.
Whole-house rewiring comes up most often in older Commack homes where the original wiring has reached the end of its useful life or where the insulation has degraded to the point where it no longer provides safe separation. Knob-and-tube wiring, which was standard in homes built before the mid-twentieth century, uses a two-wire system with no ground conductor. Aluminum wiring, which was common in residential construction during the 1960s and 1970s, requires specific remediation at every connection point where it meets copper devices.
Partial rewiring handles additions and renovations where new circuits need to be run alongside existing ones. Electrical rough-in for new construction follows the framing stage and sets the path for every outlet, switch, and fixture before the walls close. GFCI protection belongs anywhere water and electricity share a space: kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor circuits. AFCI breakers address arc-fault conditions in bedroom and living-area circuits, where a loose connection inside a wall can generate heat without tripping a standard breaker.
Adding outlets to a room is one of the most straightforward upgrades a home can get, and it usually involves running a new circuit or extending an existing one depending on the load. GFCI outlet replacement in kitchens and bathrooms brings older installations up to current expectations. Dimmer switch installation requires matching the dimmer to the fixture type, particularly where LED bulbs are involved, and light switch replacement covers everything from a single-pole swap to a three-way circuit that controls a stairwell from two locations.
Ceiling fan installation involves both the mechanical mount and the wiring, and where no existing ceiling box is rated for a fan, that gets addressed before the fixture goes up. Recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and outdoor and landscape lighting each follow their own circuit requirements, and all of them are part of what we handle. Call and we'll handle the lights, outlets, and panel.
Major appliances need dedicated circuits: a circuit that runs directly from the panel to a single device and carries nothing else. Refrigerators, washers, dryers, electric ovens, and dishwashers all fall into this category. Running a high-draw appliance on a shared circuit is one of the more common reasons a breaker trips repeatedly, and adding the right circuit resolves it at the source.
Level 2 EV charger installation involves running a 240-volt circuit from the panel to the garage or driveway location where the charger will be mounted. The circuit size depends on the charger's output rating, and the panel needs the capacity to carry it. Where the panel is already near its limit, that conversation happens on the scoping call before anything is quoted.
Generator transfer switch installation connects a backup generator to the home's panel in a way that prevents the generator from feeding back into the utility line. The transfer switch is what makes it safe to run the generator when the grid is down, and it is the part of the hookup that determines which circuits the generator feeds. Whole-home surge protection is installed at the panel and covers the entire electrical system downstream of it, including appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment circuits. Grounding and bonding are part of how surge protection performs, and they are checked as part of that installation. Real answers. Real pricing. Real fast response.
Commercial electrical work covers a different range of needs than residential, but the process is the same: the scope is confirmed on the call, the price follows, and the work is carried out to the standard the job requires.
We handle office and retail electrical repairs, panel work for commercial properties, and commercial wiring for tenant improvements and build-outs. Electrical safety inspections for commercial properties cover the panel, the branch circuits, the outlets and devices, and the grounding system. Code-compliant wiring on every job means the work holds up when the next inspector comes through. Call us and the rest is handled.
The price for any job is given on the call, before anything is scheduled. What drives the cost varies: the scope of the work, the number of circuits involved, the panel size, whether new wire needs to be run, and what the existing installation looks like going in. A panel upgrade is priced differently from a single outlet replacement, and both are scoped before a number is confirmed.
Electrical safety inspections cover the panel, the branch circuits, the visible wiring, and the grounding and bonding system. They are a useful starting point for older homes where the history of the wiring is unclear, and they are how we scope larger rewiring jobs before quoting them. Ask what the inspection covers and you get a straight answer on the call.
Not the biggest name in town. Just the one that answers. No runaround.
