You flip a switch and the lights come on. Your panel isn’t buzzing or throwing breakers every time you run the AC. Your generator kicks in when the power goes out during a coastal storm, keeping your family comfortable and your food from spoiling.
That’s what working electrical systems look like. No guessing if something’s safe. No calling around for emergency help at midnight because half your house just went dark.
When your electrical setup is done right, you stop thinking about it. It just works. And if something does go wrong, you have someone who picks up the phone and shows up—not someone who ghosts you after they cash the check.
Marra Electric has been serving Oak Beach and the rest of Suffolk County for over 20 years. We’re fully licensed and insured, which matters more than most people realize until they need it.
We show up in marked trucks, wearing uniforms, with upfront pricing and free estimates. If the work isn’t right, we come back and fix it. That’s not a marketing line—it’s how we’ve stayed in business this long.
Oak Beach has its own challenges. Salt air, moisture, older homes that weren’t built for modern electrical loads. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to handle it without cutting corners or overselling you on things you don’t need.
First, we listen. You tell us what’s going on—whether it’s an emergency, a planned upgrade, or something you’re not sure about. We ask questions to understand the scope.
Then we come out and assess the situation in person. We don’t guess over the phone. We look at your panel, your wiring, your setup. We check for code issues, safety concerns, and whether your current system can handle what you’re asking it to do.
Before we start any work, you get a price. Not an estimate that balloons later—a real number. If you’re good with it, we schedule the work or start right away if it’s an emergency.
During the job, we handle permits and inspections if needed. We clean up when we’re done. And if something’s not right, you call us and we fix it.

Panel upgrades are common here. A lot of Oak Beach homes still have 100-amp services that can’t keep up with modern appliances, HVAC systems, and EV chargers. Upgrading to 200-amp service gives you the capacity you actually need without constantly resetting breakers.
Generator installations have become standard for anyone who’s lived through a multi-day outage. Coastal storms knock out power, and waiting days for it to come back isn’t realistic if you have a family, a business, or medical equipment that needs electricity.
We also handle lighting installations, circuit repairs, outlet additions, EV charger setups, and emergency electrical repairs. If it involves wiring, panels, or power, we do it—residential and commercial.
The coastal location here means salt air and moisture affect electrical components differently than inland homes. We account for that in every job, using materials and methods that hold up in this environment.
Yes. We pull the necessary permits and coordinate inspections for any work that requires them in Oak Beach and throughout Suffolk County.
This is a step some contractors skip, either because they’re not licensed or because they’re trying to save time. That leaves you holding the bag if there’s ever an issue with your home sale, insurance claim, or code enforcement.
Permits aren’t just paperwork. They ensure the work gets inspected by someone other than the person doing it. That’s an extra layer of safety and accountability that protects you.
We offer 24/7 emergency electrician services in Oak Beach, and response time depends on where our crew is when you call. Most of the time, we’re there within a couple of hours.
Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours. Sparking outlets, burning smells, complete power loss—these need immediate attention. The longer you wait, the higher the risk of fire or further damage.
When you call, we’ll give you an honest timeframe and talk you through anything you need to do in the meantime to stay safe. If it’s truly dangerous, we’ll tell you to shut off power at the main panel until we arrive.
Most older homes here were built with 100-amp electrical panels, which were fine decades ago. But modern homes use a lot more power—central air, electric ranges, multiple computers, EV chargers, and more.
When your panel can’t handle the load, breakers trip constantly. Or worse, the panel overheats and becomes a fire hazard. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel gives you the capacity to run everything you need without maxing out your system.
We see this all the time in Oak Beach. It’s not about selling you something you don’t need—it’s about making sure your electrical system can safely support how you actually live.
First, make sure they’re licensed and insured. If they’re not, you’re taking on all the risk if something goes wrong. Licensed contractors have accountability. Unlicensed ones disappear when there’s a problem.
Second, ask for upfront pricing. If they won’t tell you what the job costs before they start, you’re setting yourself up for surprise charges. Good contractors give you a number and stick to it.
Third, check their track record. How long have they been in business? Do they have reviews or references? Awards like the Angie’s List Super Service Award aren’t just for show—they reflect consistent quality over time.
Yes. EV charger installation is one of the fastest-growing services we offer, and for good reason—electric vehicle sales keep climbing, and more Oak Beach residents are making the switch.
Installing a Level 2 charger at home means you can fully charge overnight instead of relying on public stations. But it’s not as simple as plugging something in. Most chargers need a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and your panel has to have enough capacity to support it.
We assess your current electrical setup, determine if you need a panel upgrade, install the circuit, and mount the charger. Everything’s permitted and inspected so it’s safe and up to code.
Size matters. A generator that’s too small won’t power your essentials during an outage. One that’s too big wastes money on capacity you’ll never use.
For most Oak Beach homes, a generator that can handle your HVAC, refrigerator, lights, and a few outlets is the sweet spot. We calculate your actual load and recommend a unit that fits your needs without overselling you on unnecessary capacity.
Placement also matters in coastal areas. Generators need to be positioned where they’re protected from flooding and salt spray but still have proper ventilation. We handle the installation, the transfer switch, and the hookup so it’s ready to kick in automatically when the power goes out.
