What You Get When the Work Is Done

Your breakers stop tripping every time you run the microwave and coffee maker at the same time. Your outlets work when you plug something in. Your lights don’t flicker when the AC kicks on.

That’s what happens when your electrical system actually has the capacity to handle what you’re asking it to do. Most homes in Islip were built decades ago, long before anyone imagined charging two electric cars, running a home office, and streaming on four devices simultaneously.

When your system gets upgraded to match how you actually live, you stop worrying about whether turning on one more thing will flip a breaker. You stop wondering if that burning smell is something serious. You get a system that works the way it should—quietly, safely, and without constant interruptions.

About Marra Electric

Residential and Commercial Electrician Islip

What's Included in Our Electrical Services

We handle panel upgrades, which is what most older homes in Islip need when they’re still running on 100-amp service. That’s not enough for modern life. A 200-amp upgrade gives you the capacity to add central air, EV chargers, or a home addition without constantly tripping breakers.

We install EV chargers, including Level 2 systems that cut your charging time from 20+ hours down to 4-8. We also handle generator installations, so when storms knock out power—which happens more often near the coast—you’re not sitting in the dark waiting for the grid to come back online.

Lighting installations, circuit repairs, electrical troubleshooting, and full inspections are all part of what we do. Whether it’s your home or your business, we’re set up to handle residential and commercial electrical work across Islip and the surrounding area.

How much does it cost to upgrade an electrical panel in Islip, NY?

Panel upgrades in Suffolk County typically run between $2,000 and $3,500, depending on the size of your home and how much work is involved. That includes upgrading from a 100-amp to a 200-amp service, which is what most older homes need to handle modern electrical loads.

The price covers the new panel, labor, permits, and inspection. If your home needs additional work—like updating old wiring or adding circuits—that’ll affect the final cost. We give you the full price upfront, so there’s no guessing.

A panel upgrade isn’t just about adding capacity. It’s about safety. Older panels weren’t designed for the kind of constant demand today’s homes put on them, and that can lead to overheating, tripped breakers, or worse. Upgrading your panel means your system can actually handle what you’re asking it to do without putting your home at risk.

Do I need a licensed electrician for electrical work in Islip?

Yes. New York State requires that electrical work be performed by a licensed electrician, and for good reason. Electrical systems are complex, and mistakes can lead to fires, shocks, or code violations that come back to haunt you when you try to sell your home.

A licensed electrician knows the codes, has the training, and carries insurance that protects you if something goes wrong. Unlicensed work might seem cheaper upfront, but it often costs more in the long run when inspections fail, wiring has to be redone, or insurance won’t cover damage caused by faulty work.

We’re fully licensed and insured. Every job we do meets New York State electrical codes, and we pull permits when required. That means your work gets done right the first time, and you don’t have to worry about problems down the road.

What are the signs I need an electrical inspection for my home?

If your breakers trip frequently, your lights flicker when you turn on appliances, or you smell burning near outlets or your panel, you need an inspection. Those are warning signs that your system is overloaded, outdated, or developing a serious problem.

Homes built before 2000—which includes a large portion of Islip—weren’t designed for the electrical demands of modern life. Air conditioning, electric vehicle chargers, home offices, and dozens of devices plugged in at once put a strain on systems that were built for much less. An electrical inspection identifies weak points before they become expensive emergencies.

We also recommend inspections if you’re buying a home, planning a renovation, or adding major appliances. An inspection gives you a clear picture of what’s working, what’s not, and what needs attention. It’s a small investment that can save you from much bigger problems later.

How long does it take to install an EV charger at my home?

Most EV charger installations take 4 to 8 hours, depending on where your panel is located and how much wiring needs to be run. If your electrical panel is in the garage and you want the charger nearby, it’s a straightforward job. If the panel is on the other side of the house, it takes longer.

We install Level 2 chargers, which are what most homeowners choose because they’re faster and more practical than the standard outlet that comes with your car. A Level 2 charger can fully charge most EVs overnight instead of taking 20+ hours with a regular plug.

Before we install anything, we check your panel to make sure it can handle the additional load. If you’re still on 100-amp service, you’ll likely need an upgrade first. We’ll walk you through what’s required and give you the full cost upfront so there are no surprises.

What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping in Islip?

First, unplug everything on that circuit and reset the breaker. If it stays on, you’ve got too many things pulling power at once. If it trips again immediately, you’ve got a short or a wiring problem that needs professional attention.

Circuit breakers trip because they’re doing their job—protecting your home from an overload or a fault that could cause a fire. But if it’s happening constantly, that’s a sign your system can’t handle what you’re asking it to do. Kitchens and living rooms are common trouble spots because that’s where the highest-draw appliances live.

Sometimes the fix is simple, like redistributing devices across different circuits. Other times, you need additional circuits or a panel upgrade. We’ll figure out what’s causing the problem and give you a solution that actually works, not a temporary patch that fails again in six months.

Does Marra Electric offer emergency electrical services in Islip, NY?

Yes. We’re available 24/7 for electrical emergencies. If your power goes out, you smell burning, or something sparks and you’re not sure if it’s safe, call us. We’ll get someone to your home as quickly as possible.

Electrical problems don’t wait for business hours. They show up late at night, during storms, or right before you’re about to host a house full of people. When that happens, you need someone who answers the phone and actually shows up—not a voicemail telling you to call back Monday.

Emergency rates are higher than standard service calls, but we’re upfront about the cost before we start. You’ll know what you’re paying, and you’ll get the same quality work we’d do during regular hours. Our job is to get your power back on safely and make sure the problem doesn’t come back.
