We are not currently offering smaller electrical services, including outlets, fixtures, running wire or panels for things that are not in the home like rvs or boats. We only service electrical panel upgrades within the home and the average cost for this service is around 5000$ but cost will go up or vary according to scope of project. At Diamond Electrical Contractors, LLC our training and experience is second to none. For electrical work you can trust, call the professionals at Diamond Electrical Contractors today!

"I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding work performed by Diamond Electric during a recent electrical service upgrade at our property. From start to finish, the entire crew demonstrated professionalism, punctuality, and exceptional craftsmanship. They arrived on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and completed the work efficiently and safely. What stood out most was their attention to detail—even the smallest aspects of the job were handled with care and precision. It’s not often that you come across contractors who combine technical expertise with such a strong commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. I would not hesitate to work with them again, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of electrical work."

"Chris was flexible and worked with my on what type of mount was needed for a large and smaller TV. When he realized neither of us had the size mount needed to properly support the big TV, he went out and got what was required.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.

You can check if an electrician is licensed in New York by using the online license verification search tool offered by the New York State Education Department. The database is updated daily and gives you the option of searching by license number, contractor name, or the name of the business.

The best light switch is user dependent. What works for one person might not work for another. Someone looking to ward off burglars may choose to install proximity light switches or anti-vandal switches, while someone who simply wants to find the switch in the bathroom without using a nightlight may prefer an illuminated light switch. Consider the location of your light switch and the features you want to help you decide on the right light switch for your home.

You can use both LED and incandescent bulbs in an incandescent fixture as long as the bulb base is the right size. Never use a higher wattage than what the fixture recommends. However, it’s usually safe when transitioning to LED bulbs because they typically have a lower wattage than their incandescent counterparts.

You shouldn’t try to touch the electric fence, as it will shock you. Typically, the shock is low enough to be uncomfortable to humans or animals that come into contact with the fence. But an electric fence with high voltage, or a faulty fence, could shock you and cause serious injuries when touched.
