"Hired True Modern Electrical Services Plus to add an outlet in my garage. He was very quick to respond to my request and schedule a time to come out and give me an estimate. Throughout the whole process, he was responsive in answering my questions regarding the project and permitting. Then he did a wonderful job on the install and I am very happy with his work. Would definitely hire him again for my future electrician needs."

"I generally really dislike leaving feedback. I find myself honest to a fault because I believe it's a responsibility to leave honest, accurate feedback for potential other customers. Then I go through this process of "am I being too nit-picky", "am I being overly sensitive", etc, and finally I don't leave the review because if it isn't good, will it hurt the business, or just as bad, reviews that say "they were great" isn't helpful at all....and so I buckle under the pressure of my own assessment. I say all that here to tell you I have ZERO issues writing this review right now. I reached out to Mr. Electric because a project that was supposed to start in August was bumped up on the schedule, and as always, I procrastinated getting someone to come out and move an electrical box and some conduit. I reached out to Mr. Electric on a Thursday, and the following Monday was promised someone (Travis M from Mr Electric) would come out and give us a quote on the work. Travis showed up right on time, and only was he super-flexible with whatever work I asked for (added in 2 outside electrical boxes besides the electrical box reconfiguration and move), they gave me a more than reasonable quote for the work and told me they could get the work done right then and there. My wife and I agreed, and the final result was phenomenal. Travis M and also Andrew from Mr. E jumped right in, and did a superb, professional job in a matter of a couple of hours. I would be remiss if I didn't say that not only was their work professional, their attitude and conduct was professional beyond reproach. To be fully honest, they looked and acted the part of professional electricians from a professional company. These 2 gentlemen represented Mr. Electric in a fully excellent way, and they will be my go-to for future projects. Perfect 10 out of a possible 5 stars!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In York, common mistakes include starting electrical work without securing the proper permits from the City of York, using incorrect wire sizes, and neglecting grounding requirements. Overloading circuits and attempting DIY repairs without proper knowledge can lead to safety risks and code violations. To avoid these issues, always follow local electrical permit guidelines and consult a licensed electrician familiar with York's regulations.

Helpful?

Before starting electrical work in York, verify your property's zoning with the City of York Zoning Office and gather detailed project plans. Submit a complete permit application to the Building and Electrical Inspection Division, including all required documentation. Confirm your electrician is licensed in PA. Scheduling inspections early and understanding the permit review timeline can help you avoid delays and ensure your project meets local electrical code requirements.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in York, PA, use copper wiring for durability and safety, and select NM cable for most indoor residential applications. Ensure all materials are UL-listed and meet the National Electrical Code as enforced by the City of York. Local electrical supply stores can help you find code-compliant products. Always confirm with your contractor that supplies align with York's local electrical permit standards.

Helpful?

After electrical work in York, schedule periodic inspections to check for loose connections, tripped breakers, or signs of wear. The City of York recommends testing GFCI outlets and circuit breakers at least twice a year. Inspect outdoor wiring after severe weather and ensure all work remains compliant with local electrical permits. Proactive maintenance helps prevent hazards and keeps your electrical system safe and efficient.

Helpful?

In York, most electrical projects—including new wiring, service upgrades, and circuit installations—require an electrical permit from the City of York Building and Electrical Inspection Division. You must submit detailed plans and load calculations for review. Permit fees are based on project scope, and approval can take up to 15 business days for residential work. Always consult the city's building department to ensure compliance with local code requirements.
