Good electrical work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and that has been the standard at EAM Electrical Contractors since the day we opened. We are a family-run electrical business rooted in Commack, and we serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners across Suffolk County. Every job that goes out under our name is handled by licensed electricians who take the work seriously, from a single tripped breaker to a full-service upgrade on a commercial property. Local ownership means we're accountable to our own community. We show up on time, we do the work correctly, and we stand behind it when the job is done. Fast turnaround. Fair pricing. Safe results.
When something goes wrong with the power in your home or building, you need someone who knows what they are doing and can get there quickly. We work with a wide range of customers: homeowners dealing with an outlet that stopped working, landlords keeping rental properties up to code, property managers handling electrical issues across multiple units, and small businesses that cannot afford downtime. Whatever the situation, we bring the same approach to every call.
We offer same-day electrical service available for urgent situations, and we give every customer no-pressure estimates, priced up front, before any work begins. There are no surprise fees and no vague ballpark numbers. You will know what the job costs before we pick up a tool. We also handle electrical safety inspections for buyers, sellers, and property owners who want a clear picture of where things stand. Code-compliant wiring is not optional, it is the baseline, and we hold every project to that standard. Call us and the rest is on our crew.
Most homeowners can't tell a minor wiring issue from a serious one, and that uncertainty is exactly why a fast, honest diagnosis matters. Flickering lights, dead outlets, tripping breakers, sparking receptacles, a burning smell from a wall, or a room that loses power without explanation -- these are all signs that something in the electrical system needs attention. Some are simple fixes. Others point to a deeper problem. Either way, we find the source and fix it correctly.
Our repair work covers the full range of everyday electrical issues. We replace faulty circuit breakers, install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas, and add AFCI protection where the code requires it. We handle switch replacements, dimmer installations, and outlet additions throughout the home or building. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers are a regular part of what we install, and proper grounding and bonding are never an afterthought on any job we take. Same-day electrical service available means that when a problem is urgent, we can often be there the same day you call. We keep your home powered and safe.
Every electrical job we complete is held to current code requirements, and we do not cut corners to save time. Licensed electricians perform all the work, and they are familiar with the specific requirements that apply to homes and commercial properties in this area. Code-compliant wiring protects the people inside a building and protects the building itself. It also protects you from complications when you sell, refinance, or bring in an inspector.
We pull permits when the job requires them, and we do not advise customers to skip that step. If a previous contractor left something that does not meet code, we identify it, explain what needs to happen, and fix it the right way. That is not an upsell. It is part of doing the job honestly.
Before a small wiring issue turns into a hazard, it usually gives some warning signs: breakers that trip repeatedly, panels that run warm to the touch, outlets that do not hold a load, or a home that simply cannot keep up with modern electrical demand. Older homes in Suffolk County often carry wiring systems that were never designed for today's appliances, devices, and lifestyle. When the system is undersized or aging, an upgrade is not a luxury, it is a safety issue.
We handle breaker panel replacements, 200-amp service upgrades, main panel replacements, and subpanel installations. When a home addition, a finished basement, or a new garage needs power, we run the circuits and wire the space to code. Dedicated appliance circuits for dryers, ranges, and other high-draw equipment are a routine part of our work, and we perform the load calculations to make sure the panel can carry what you are asking of it. For older homes with knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch-circuit wiring, we handle full remediation and rewiring. Service-entrance and meter upgrades are available when the utility connection itself needs to be brought up to current standards. One ring and we're on it.
There is a practical side to lighting and ceiling fan work that often gets overlooked. A well-lit room is more comfortable and more functional. Exterior lighting improves visibility and security. A ceiling fan that is wired correctly and balanced properly does its job quietly and reliably. These are finishing details that make a home or business work better every day.
We install recessed and LED lighting throughout homes and commercial spaces, including can lights, pendant lights, chandeliers, and under-cabinet lighting. For the exterior, we handle landscape lighting, security lighting, motion sensor lights, and flood lights. Ceiling fan installation and replacement, including wiring new fan boxes where none exist, is a common request we handle quickly. Smart switch installation and bathroom exhaust fan wiring round out the smaller jobs that add real comfort and convenience. Call today and we'll set the appointment.
Long Island's aging grid infrastructure, its exposure to storm-related outages, and one of the strongest EV adoption rates in the region make these three services especially relevant for homes and businesses in Commack and the surrounding area. Each one involves work that has to be done correctly the first time.
A Level 2 home EV charger dramatically reduces charging time compared to a standard outlet, but it requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a panel that can handle the added load. We assess your current panel capacity, run the dedicated circuit, install the charger outlet or hardwired unit, and make sure everything meets code. If the panel needs an upgrade to support the new load, we handle that as part of the same project.
Power surges from storms, utility switching, and grid fluctuations are a real and recurring concern on Long Island. A whole-home surge protector installed at the panel catches surges before they reach your appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment. Proper grounding and bonding work alongside the surge protection device to give your home a reliable first line of defense. It is a straightforward installation with long-term value.
When the power goes out after a storm, a properly wired generator hookup is the difference between a manageable situation and a serious one. We install transfer switches and connect standby generator systems so that your backup power source is ready to carry the load safely when the grid goes down. We work on the electrical side: the transfer switch, the wiring, and the connection to your panel. We do not service the generator unit itself. If you have a portable generator you want to connect safely, we can handle that hookup as well.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, which is why we keep our scheduling flexible and our pricing straightforward. We offer same-day service for urgent calls, weekend availability, and after-hours options for situations that cannot wait until Monday morning. When you call to schedule, we give you a clear picture of what the job involves and what it will cost before we start.
Whether you are asking about the cost of a panel upgrade, an EV charger installation, or a generator hookup, we give you honest numbers up front. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, are the standard on every job we take. There is no charge inflation after the work is done and no vague estimates designed to get a foot in the door. Affordable rates. Flexible timing. Safe wiring.
We are based in Commack and we work throughout the surrounding communities every day. Our service area covers a broad stretch of Suffolk County, including Hauppauge, Smithtown, Kings Park, Dix Hills, Melville, Elwood, East Northport, and Huntington. If you are nearby and need an electrician, there is a good chance we have already worked in your neighborhood.
Being a locally owned business means the people answering the phone and showing up at your door are part of this community. We know the housing stock in the area, including the older homes that carry wiring systems from a different era, and we know what it takes to bring them up to where they need to be. We keep your home powered and safe.
Yes, we are a locally owned business based in Commack. Local ownership means we are accountable to our own community. The people answering the phone and showing up at your door are part of this area, not a distant operation.
We have been serving Commack homeowners, landlords, and businesses since 2009. Over that time we have worked on a wide range of residential and commercial projects across Suffolk County, from single-outlet repairs to full panel upgrades and whole-home rewiring.
We are a family-run electrical business, and that shows in how we handle every call. Licensed electricians perform all the work, estimates are given up front without pressure, and we do not move on to the next job until the current one is done correctly. We also know the local housing stock well, including the older wiring systems that are common in this part of Long Island.
We stand behind the work we do. If something we repaired or installed is not performing as it should, call us and we will come back and make it right. We do not consider a job finished until it is working correctly.
Every job starts with an honest assessment and a clear price before any work begins. We do not give vague estimates to get a foot in the door and then adjust the number after the fact. You know what the job costs before we pick up a tool.
We are a small, locally rooted crew, so there is a good chance the person you speak with when you call is closely connected to the team that shows up. We are not a large operation where your call goes one direction and the work goes another. You reach real people who know the area and the work.
Yes. We show up ready to work, treat your property with care, and clean up when the job is done. How we present ourselves on the job reflects on the business, and we take that seriously.

We handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work in Commack and across western Suffolk County. Whether the job is a same-day repair or a planned upgrade, every visit starts with a clear price before any work begins. The table below covers what each service includes, who it fits best, and a practical note to help you decide what to schedule first.
| Type of Work | What It Covers | Ideal For | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| homeowners adding high-draw appliances or dealing with overloaded shared circuits | Sump pump circuits are a regular part of our work in this area. A dedicated circuit ensures the pump has reliable power when you need it most. |
| Backup Generator Installation |
| homeowners who want automatic backup power through nor'easters and summer outages | We handle the electrical side: transfer switch, wiring, and panel connections. A properly installed transfer switch eliminates the hazards of running portable generators in enclosed spaces. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| homeowners adding comfort or ventilation to bedrooms, living areas, or bathrooms | Ceiling fans need a properly rated electrical box for support. We make sure the box and wiring are both right before the fan goes up. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| homeowners updating a kitchen, finishing a basement, or replacing worn devices | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. If your home is missing it, we bring those locations up to current standard. |
| Knob-and-Tube & Aluminum Rewiring |
| owners of older Long Island homes with pre-1950s or 1960s-70s era wiring | Many insurance carriers now require remediation before writing or renewing a policy on a home with active knob-and-tube wiring. We assess the system and develop a plan before any work begins. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections |
| buyers before closing, homeowners with older wiring, or landlords managing rental properties | We document what we find and walk you through it clearly. An inspection often surfaces issues that are straightforward to fix once you know they are there. |
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular |
| homes with undersized or aging panels that cannot support modern electrical loads | Many Suffolk County homes still run on 100-amp service. A panel upgrade is often required before adding an EV charger, a large appliance circuit, or finishing additional living space. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection |
| homeowners with smart devices, home offices, or appliances they want to protect | A single device installed at the panel guards every circuit in the house. It is a straightforward upgrade that pairs well with a safety inspection. |
| EV Charger Installation |
| homeowners with an electric vehicle who want reliable overnight charging at home | EV adoption on Long Island is among the highest in the country. We size the circuit correctly and let you know upfront if your panel needs attention before the charger goes in. |
| Lighting Installation |
| homeowners remodeling, adding outdoor lighting, or upgrading to energy-efficient fixtures | Exterior lighting tied to a motion sensor or timer adds security and convenience without running up your electric bill. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| homeowners dealing with a breaker that trips repeatedly or will not hold | A breaker that keeps tripping is telling you something. We diagnose whether the issue is an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, or a wiring problem before recommending a fix. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation |
| homeowners finishing a basement, adding a workshop, or bringing older wiring up to code | Proper grounding and bonding are not optional extras. They are part of every wiring job we do, and they protect both people and equipment. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting |
| homeowners or tenants with an active electrical problem | Same-day service is available for urgent repairs. We find the source of the problem, not just the symptom, before any work begins. |
How do I know if my panel needs to be upgraded?
A few signs point clearly to an undersized or aging panel: breakers that trip frequently under normal use, a panel that runs warm to the touch, breakers that will not reset, or a fuse box that has never been replaced. If you are planning to add an EV charger, finish a basement, or bring in a high-draw appliance, we perform a load calculation to tell you whether your current service can handle the added demand before any work begins.
What causes a breaker to keep tripping?
Repeated tripping usually points to one of three things: a circuit that is carrying more load than it was sized for, a failing breaker that no longer holds reliably, or a wiring problem somewhere on the circuit. A kitchen with too many appliances on one line is a common example. We diagnose the actual cause first so the fix addresses the real problem, not just the symptom.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Work that requires a permit under New York State and local Suffolk County code is pulled and inspected accordingly. Our electricians understand the permitting process and coordinate with inspectors when the job calls for it. We do not skip steps that protect you and your property.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We price the job before we start it. You know what the work costs before our electricians pick up a tool, and the number at the end matches what was agreed to at the beginning.
My home was built in the 1950s. Is the wiring safe?
It depends on what is there and whether it has been modified over the years. Homes from that era may have knob-and-tube wiring, early two-wire systems without a ground, or a mix of original and added circuits. A safety inspection tells you what is active, what has been updated, and what needs attention. We assess the system honestly and walk you through the options.
What does an EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 charger runs on a 240-volt dedicated circuit, similar to what an electric dryer uses. We run the circuit from your panel to the garage or driveway, install the charger, and confirm the panel has the capacity to support the added load. If the panel needs attention first, we let you know before the charger goes in. Most installations are completed in a single visit.
How do backup generators connect to the home?
A standby generator connects through a transfer switch wired to your panel. The transfer switch automatically disconnects the home from utility power during an outage and switches to generator power, then reverses when utility power returns. We handle the transfer switch installation, all generator wiring, and the panel connections. Proper installation eliminates the back-feed hazard that comes with improper hookups.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job, from a single outlet replacement to a full panel upgrade, is handled by licensed electricians who understand the code requirements for Suffolk County and Long Island homes.
What are the risks of aluminum branch wiring?
Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper as it heats and cools. Over time, that movement can loosen connections at outlets, fixtures, and switches, which creates heat and increases the risk of arcing. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s commonly have aluminum branch wiring. We assess which circuits are affected and develop a remediation plan, which may involve replacing devices with aluminum-rated hardware, rewiring affected circuits, or a combination of both.
Do I need to be home when the electrician arrives?
Someone needs to be present to provide access to the panel, the work areas, and any locked spaces the job requires. If you cannot be there yourself, another adult who can show our crew what needs attention and authorize the work is fine. Let us know when you schedule and we will work out the timing together.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
We work in homes built decades apart, from houses with original knob-and-tube circuits to new construction needing EV charger hookups. The approach is the same: assess honestly, price clearly, and do the work right.
How does pricing work, and will the cost change after you arrive?
Every job starts with an honest assessment of what needs to be done and what it will cost before any work begins. If we arrive and find that the scope is different from what was described, we tell you before we proceed and give you an updated number. We do not start work and add to the bill after the fact. You get no-pressure estimates, priced up front.
What do flickering or dimming lights usually mean?
Occasional flickering when a large appliance starts up is common and usually just a load issue on a shared circuit. Persistent flickering, lights that dim in multiple rooms at once, or flickering that comes with a buzzing sound can point to a loose connection, a failing breaker, or a wiring issue that warrants a closer look. If it is happening regularly, it is worth a call.
Is same-day service available for urgent electrical problems?
Yes. Same-day service is available for urgent repairs throughout Commack and the surrounding communities. When you call, describe what you are seeing and we will tell you what we can fit in that day. Sparking outlets, a burning smell near a panel or receptacle, and a breaker that will not reset are situations where you should call right away rather than waiting.
