Services
Welcome to the Services Overview for Guiding Light Electric, Inc.
For 23 years, we’ve provided comprehensive electrical services across New York City, covering both residential and commercial projects. Located at 125-18 101st Avenue, New York, NY 11419, our licensed electricians offer end-to-end electrical solutions: electrical installation, electrical repairs, EV car charger installation, emergency electrical repair, lighting design, low-voltage wiring, home automation, generator installation, service upgrades, lighting controls, and electrical troubleshooting. If your building needs reliable, code-compliant electrical work backed by decades of experience, Guiding Light Electric is ready to help.
Why Comprehensive Electrical Services Matter
A holistic approach to electrical services ensures systems are safe, efficient, and future-ready. Disconnected solutions—such as upgrading a panel without addressing subpanel issues or installing an EV charger without assessing load potential—create ongoing problems and additional costs. A complete service approach ensures compatibility between systems, adherence to code, proper permitting, and long-term reliability. Whether you are renovating a property, planning a new build, or retrofitting a commercial space, a single contractor who understands all aspects of electrical infrastructure reduces complexity and risk.
