Hi all,

I hope you are all doing well. I recently finished my basement and turn it into a gorgeous apartment. The only problem is it doesn’t have its own electric meter.I called con ed and they say to get a licensed electrician to fill the paperwork and request the new meter. Does anyone have any licensed electricians they can refer me to?

Thanks all.

  1. That will probably require an inspection by the DOB as well. If you have new wiring coming into the meter, they will want to know where it goes – if the other work isn’t permitted, you could be opening up issues that a licensed guy may not want to take on.

    That being said, I used a great guy to replace our service a few months ago – neat, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. You can email me at litegreenlife at gmail.com if you are interested.

  2. I highly recommend Paul at W.C.K. Electric (718-778-0070). He has done two houses for us and both times he has been great to work with. He and his crew are prompt, curtious, clean up after themselves, have reasonable rates (low), and they line everything up perfectly straight which is a pet peeve of mine. Tell him Amy from Halsey St. recommended him on Brownstoner…
