WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Walter C.

HAPPY CLIENT

I had Standtech work on two projects for me. I found the price quoted highly competitive with others I sought estimates from. Both of the project I contracted with Standtech for were completed on time and on budget. The work was performed as specified and those who did the work arrived on time, went about their business in highly professional manner, completed the work to my satisfaction and left things neat and clean. I was very satisfied with the work Standtech did on the two projects I hired them for and wouldn't hesitate to hire Standtech again.

Ensuring Code Compliance & Safety Standards in New York City

At StandTech Electric, every inspection is conducted in accordance with New York City building regulations and the National Electrical Code (NEC). This strict adherence helps protect your property’s safety and simplifies future real estate transactions by ensuring full compliance.

If you're buying, selling, or evaluating a property anywhere in NYC, a detailed electrical inspection is crucial. Even recently renovated buildings can conceal outdated wiring, substandard work, or legacy systems that could pose a serious hazard without being immediately visible.

Many NYC buildings were constructed long before modern code standards were in place. Even if a system meets basic compliance, it may still lack the capacity to handle today’s energy demands. From smart appliances to multiple work-from-home setups, reliable power is more essential than ever.

StandTech Electric’s licensed electricians are well-versed in New York City code requirements and state regulations. We provide comprehensive inspections that identify areas of concern and outline practical solutions for safer, more efficient electrical systems.

Electrical Safety Inspections in New York City Can Prevent Electrical Fires & Electrocution Risks

In densely populated cities like New York, electrical issues can become serious quickly. Outdated or overburdened wiring in older buildings is one of the leading causes of electrical fires. Arcing, which occurs when electricity jumps between loose or damaged connections, can cause sparks and heat buildup. Combined with ungrounded or deteriorating outlets, the risk grows. A complete inspection from a licensed New York City electrician is your best protection against these dangerous conditions.
