"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."

"Despite a -12 windchill, Kevin and Jose sent a notice 30 minutes before their arrival and got to work immediately. They were both extremely courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and industrious. The project was extensive but they managed to keep power interruptions to an absolute minimum. Considering that the generator project required work involving gas, electric, and internet, their presence in our small house went almost unnoticed. I would absolutely recommend them. Great work!"

"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."

"William , the owner contacted me soon after I left a message on his phone. He was very prompt in getting me a quote for lightning rods that same day and happened to be in the area locally. We scheduled for him to install two days later. We were very happy with their work, meticulous and detailed. We canâ t notice any rods from the front of the house and they do their best to hide the cable so you canâ t see it. Our house got hit by lightning a year ago and it is not something I want to go thru again with the rebuilding of our house. We have a peace of mind that our house has protection now. William was very reasonable as far as cost compared to the other quotes that we got from other companies. We are so happy we found a great company that is honest and does good work. His company comes back every five years to check that the rods and cables are in good working order!"

"I called on a Friday to ask for an estimate, and Mike was able to stop by on the following Monday. He was very friendly and professional and did a great job of explaining the work that needed to be done. I got a call back the next day with an estimate, and they were able to schedule me for the job that same Wednesday.  The electricians who did the work were just as pleasant to work with as Mike and did a great job -- they were in and out in just a couple of hours and did a good job of cleaning up after themselves. The whole process was completely painless. If I ever need electrical work done again, I will definitely be giving them a call.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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?

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?

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.
