I have to start this off by saying NEW HOMEOWNERS BE AWARE and check on Angie's List BEFORE you hire ANYONE to work on your home.  My husband found Antonio Ferrao Electric by doing a search for electricians near Westchester, NY.  He called Antonio and explained that we just bought our first home.  It was built in 1950 and the inspector during the sale of the house suggested we upgrade the electrical service to 200AMP as we were planning to put in a new furnace and an AC system which did not currently exist in the home.  He was quoted a price of $1700.00 over the phone during the first phone call.  We then asked if we needed to pull permits with the city, contact CON ED etc. and he said absolutely not, he would take care of all of that.  The upgrade was scheduled for the morning of October 20th at 8:30 AM.  Antonio did not show up, he sent 2 other men (hopefully electricians) to do the job.  Upon observing that our meter box was on a pole with wire running to the house the electrician called Antonio who spoke to my husband on the phone explaining to him that given the set up of the house the upgrade would require a new switchbox which would cost an additional $550.00.  At this point we just wanted the work done, approved the extra money and the electrician left the job to go to the electrical supply store to pick up the equipment.  Upon "completion" of the job the electrician called Antonio who again spoke to my husband.  He directed us to please make payment in full, check written out to CASH and give it directly to the electrician as he "owed him some money".  My husband asked for a receipt as well as a business card.  The electrician had blanks in the truck.  He filled one out and was on his way.  The business card and his site both say that he is a member of the BBB specializing in service upgrades.
A bit later we had some small electrical work done. Our electrician asked us why our upgrade service was not complete.  It turns out that Antonio Ferrao faked the upgrade service!  200 AMP breaker box in the house, 200 AMP switch on the pole - the wire from the poll entering our house was the old fabric wire.  On top of that the work he did do was not grounded correctly.  He put my house in danger!  I was shocked.  I called the town where we lived - no permit pulled or inspection scheduled, I called CON ED, nothing on record.  I called Antonio who kept fielding his calls.  When I finally got through he began to scream at me asking me what did I expect for $2250?  I said I expected an electrical service upgrade.  He then started yelling that he does not "trench".  As a new homeowner I had no idea what he was talking about.  I trusted him to upgrade our service from 100 AMP to 200AMP.  The price was never an issue.  If he asked for $5000 initially to do it correctly we would have been fine with that! He told me to find someone to trench the yard and for an ADDITIONAL $2000 he would finish the job.  
Such a disappointment.  We trusted that as a licensed electrician with the BBB that specializes in upgrades would have done the upgrade properly.  The cost was never an issue.  Please do yourself a favor.  Check Angie's List, Get your electrician to write a proposal that you understand and agree to and make sure you are comfortable with the work done.  It is your safety, your house, your investment.

We purchased a new home that only had 60 amp service that we upgraded to 200 and had some broken and old outlets. Contacted Antonio and he came right away to do an estimate.  Once we approved it we scheduled an appointment for the work.  Fernando came on time and did the work, installing two service panels in plaster walls.  There was an awful mess which I was concerned about but Fernando assured me that when they were done I wouldn't be able to tell they had been there.  To his word they completely cleaned up, fixed the holes in the walls, and bagged up the old equipment.  The team had to return and arrived on time as scheduled.  They did the work they said they would for the price promised and in the estimated time frame.
