"Zack Kinney Electric installed a transfer switch kit (9/18/2021) that I selected from Amazon, connected it to my existing panel box, and added a remote connector box in the garage to plug the generator into. I found that he was very flexible to do this project using the parts I specified and install exactly the way I wanted. The transfer switch from Amazon had a bad switch from the factory so Zack had to make multiple trips to get it all installed. This was no problem for Zack as he wanted to ensure I was happy with the install. The install is very clean and professional and of course everything works as it should. I hired Zack to check my kitchen stove (7/25/2022) since it kept tripping a circuit breaker in the house panel box. He checked the stove outlet and wiring but the stove circuit breaker needed to be replaced. Initially we got the wrong breaker that didn't match my exact panel box configuration but again Zack was patient with me and kept at it until we had the correct breaker installed. The stove has worked perfectly ever since! I refer my friends and family to Zack if they need help with an electrical project and Iâ m sure Iâ ll hire him again myself. Zack if you're reading this thanks again for all your help!!!!"

"We got a list of electricians from Home Depot, and Singh was the first to call us. He came right away on Saturday, gave us a link to buy the fan, and came again next Saturday to install. He has done everything quickly and very professionally. It was a pleasure to communicate with him, as he replied very quickly. He will be our preferred electrician from now on."

"Technician was on time and polite. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it the same day. I had a porch light that did not work and needed to have a new wire installed. He was prompt, efficient, and affordable. I would highly recommend. So glad to have my porch light finally working!"

"My house generator was serviced and the battery replaced. Everything about the experience was excellent. Mike, the technician, called when he was on the way, worked with me and my restrictions because of Covid, he was punctual, professional, explained thoroughly the work he did. For 8 years Anderson has serviced my generator and when needed during electric outage, my generator keeps my house running until the electric service is restored! Thank you for reliable service!"

"Highly recommended! I had a great experience with Torchia Electric. Alan came out to upgrade my two smart doorbells and went above and beyond. He didn't just install them; he took the time to find the absolute best placement for them. Alan was incredibly patient, kind, and professional. He made sure both doorbells were fully functional and working perfectly before he left."

"Jim for Donhohues Lightning Rods installed the lightning rod system in my home. When the work was done I was very happy as their installer came as per promised time, and perform the work. Before giving them the work Jim completely sold me their work ethics, quality, and service. There was a minor issue and his team took complete ownership of this issue and talked to me in detail. They provide a very good explanation to satisfy me. I am a happy customer."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Buffalo, most electrical projects—such as panel upgrades, new circuits, or major rewiring—require an electrical permit from the Department of Permit and Inspection Services. Applications must include detailed plans and property information, and all work must comply with the National Electrical Code and Buffalo's local ordinances. Inspections are mandatory to ensure code compliance and safety, and permit fees vary by project scope and type.

Helpful?

DIY electrical work in Buffalo may save on labor costs, but it carries significant risks, including code violations, safety hazards, and possible insurance issues. The Department of Permit and Inspection Services requires licensed electricians for most permitted work. Hiring a local professional ensures your project meets Buffalo electrical code, passes inspections, and protects your home—making it the safer choice for anything beyond basic repairs.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Buffalo, select materials rated for cold and damp conditions, such as weather-resistant conduit and insulated wiring suitable for NY's climate. Use AFCI and GFCI outlets where required by the Buffalo electrical code. Local electrical supply stores can advise on products that meet city standards, ensuring your installation is both safe and compliant with local building regulations.

Helpful?

In Buffalo, frequent mistakes include failing to obtain required electrical permits, using materials not rated for local weather, and overloading circuits. Improper grounding and skipping inspections by the Department of Permit and Inspection Services can also lead to safety hazards. To avoid fines, system failures, or fire risks, always follow Buffalo's electrical code and consult a licensed electrician for complex projects.

Helpful?

After completing electrical projects in Buffalo, schedule regular inspections—especially for older homes—to check for code compliance, loose connections, and signs of moisture or corrosion. The Department of Permit and Inspection Services recommends annual panel checks and testing GFCI/AFCI outlets. Before winter, ensure outdoor wiring and panels are protected from harsh weather, helping to prevent outages and maintain system safety year-round.
