"Hired them to fix the electrical supply box for my outdoor lighting around the pool. Seth came over, troubleshot the problem, and had my lights fixed on a jiffy. This is the second time I’ve hired JP’s Best Electric and I will hire them again. I highly recommend this company"

"Marcus did a great job, figured out my electrical problems, put up 2 ceiling fans, added an electrical outlet in my garage. Also cleaned up everything and moved back everything he touched. He was a very pleasant person and explained everything he was doing. Wouldn't hesitate to hire him and Photon electric again. Thank you Beverly"

"The entire team at OHara was *great.* Kelly was on top of all the office coordination and very easy to communicate with. Mike was very efficient and stayed late to make sure the job was done. They were willing to work with me and were familiar with the newer (and less popular) technology I was asked to be installed. Not only fantastic service all around, but their quote came in significantly less than a competitor. I will *definitely* be calling OHara for any future electric work and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"My electrician showed up two consecutive weeks for separate projects on time and got the work done so efficiently . Gerrick cleaned up and left the work areas spotless. He also accommodated my first request on short notice since I had people staying at my home the following weekend. Awesome customer service and the work done was flawlessly."

"I've used JA ELECTRIC several times over the years but most recently, ice fell and damaged our meter can. Nationalgrid said we needed to have a electrical inspection before they could restore our power. John came out that morning, replaced our service and had our power on by lunch. I wouldnt use anyone else."

"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!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Syracuse, most electrical projects—including new wiring, panel upgrades, or adding circuits—require an electrical permit from the City of Syracuse Codes Enforcement. Projects must comply with the latest National Electrical Code and local amendments. Larger jobs require inspection by an approved third-party electrical inspector. Minor repairs, like replacing an existing outlet, often don't need a permit, but always verify requirements with local authorities before starting your project.

Helpful?

Syracuse's heavy snowfall and seasonal humidity can impact electrical systems. Moisture intrusion is common in basements and exterior outlets, so weatherproof enclosures and GFCI protection are essential. During winter, increased use of space heaters and generators can overload circuits. According to local inspectors, annual checks of outdoor wiring and surge protectors before storm season help prevent damage and ensure your electrical system remains safe and reliable.

Helpful?

Before starting electrical work in Syracuse, contact the City of Syracuse Codes Enforcement to confirm permit requirements and begin the permit application process. Review the latest electrical code updates and plan your project thoroughly. Hire a licensed electrician in Syracuse, gather all required materials, and schedule inspections early. Keeping detailed records of permits and approvals will help prevent costly delays or failed electrical inspections.

Helpful?

In Syracuse, homeowners often skip required permits, use non-compliant materials, or hire unlicensed contractors—mistakes that can lead to failed inspections or safety hazards. According to the City of Syracuse Codes Enforcement, not documenting the permit process or neglecting electrical inspection requirements are frequent issues. Always verify your electrician's license, use code-approved materials, and keep thorough records from permit application to final inspection for a smooth project.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Syracuse, use NY-approved #12 or #14 gauge copper wire, steel junction boxes for durability, and weather-resistant wire connectors for outdoor or basement work. In older Syracuse homes, consider AFCI breakers for added safety. Always choose GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, and damp areas, as recommended by the National Electrical Code and local inspectors, to ensure compliance and long-term reliability.
