Your breakers stop tripping every time you run the dryer and charge your car. Your panel handles what you’re asking it to do without overheating or shutting down. You’re not wondering if that burning smell means you need to call someone or if it’ll just go away on its own.
That’s what happens when the electrical work is done right the first time. You get a system that supports how you actually live—not one that was designed for a house built in 1985 with half the load.
And when something does go wrong, you’re not scrambling through Google at 11 p.m. trying to figure out who’s actually available. You already know who to call, and we pick up.
Marra Electric has been serving Copiague, NY and the rest of Suffolk County for over 20 years. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we show up in marked vehicles wearing uniforms because professionalism still matters.
We’ve earned the Angie’s List Super Service Award seven years running. That doesn’t happen by accident—it happens when you answer the phone, show up on time, and do what you said you’d do.
Copiague homes weren’t all built the same year or wired the same way. Some have 60-amp panels trying to run modern kitchens and home offices. Others have updated electrical but outdated wiring that can’t keep up. We’ve worked in enough homes here to know what you’re dealing with before we even open the panel.
You call or submit a request. We schedule a time that works for you—not just whenever we have a gap. When we arrive, we assess what’s going on, explain what we found, and give you upfront pricing before we touch anything.
No surprise bills. No “well, once we got in there” excuses. You know the cost before the work starts.
Once you approve, we get to work. If it’s a panel upgrade, we pull permits and make sure everything passes inspection the first time. If it’s an EV charger install, we verify your panel can handle the load and upgrade it if needed. If it’s an emergency repair, we fix the immediate problem and let you know if there’s something bigger that needs attention down the road.
When we’re done, we test everything, clean up, and walk you through what we did. Then we guarantee the work—if something’s not right, we come back and make it right.

You’re getting a licensed electrical contractor in Copiague, NY who handles residential and commercial electrical work. That includes panel upgrades, EV charger installations, generator hookups, lighting installations, outlet and switch repairs, code compliance work, and emergency electrical repairs.
Suffolk County electricity costs run about $301 per month—34% higher than the national average. A lot of that comes from inefficient systems, outdated panels, and equipment working harder than it should. We help you fix that with energy-efficient upgrades and properly sized electrical systems.
Many Copiague homes were built before 1990. If yours is one of them, your electrical system probably wasn’t designed for what you’re asking it to do now. Adding an EV charger to a 100-amp panel that’s already maxed out doesn’t work. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel costs between $2,000 and $3,500 in Suffolk County, and it solves the problem for good.
We also install Level 2 EV chargers that give you about 20 miles of range per hour of charging. PSEG Long Island offers rebates for qualified chargers, and we’ll help you navigate that so you’re not leaving money on the table.
Your breakers trip frequently, especially when you’re running multiple appliances at once. The panel feels warm to the touch. You smell burning plastic or see scorch marks around the breaker box. Or you’re trying to add something like an EV charger and your electrician tells you the panel can’t handle it.
Most homes in Copiague, NY built before 1990 have 60 to 100-amp panels. That was fine when the biggest electrical draws were a refrigerator, a TV, and some lights. Now you’ve got central air, multiple computers, kitchen appliances, and possibly an electric vehicle. The math doesn’t work anymore.
If your panel is over 25 years old or you’re adding any major electrical load, it’s worth having someone take a look. A panel upgrade to 200-amp service runs between $2,000 and $3,500 in Suffolk County, and it’s not optional if you want your system to work safely.
A licensed electrical contractor has met the state and local requirements to pull permits, perform electrical work, and take legal responsibility for code compliance. That means the work gets inspected and has to pass. If something goes wrong, there’s accountability.
An unlicensed electrician might be cheaper upfront, but if the work isn’t permitted or doesn’t meet code, you’re the one who deals with it when you go to sell your house or file an insurance claim. Inspectors don’t care that you hired someone who said they knew what they were doing.
We’re fully licensed and insured. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and make sure everything is done to code the first time. That protects you, your home, and anyone who works on your electrical system down the road.
Yes. Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. If your panel is sparking, you’ve lost power to part of your house, or you’re dealing with a burning smell that won’t go away, call us. We’re available 24/7.
Emergency electrician services in Copiague, NY typically cost more than scheduled work because of the urgency and after-hours availability. But when you’re dealing with a safety hazard or a system failure that’s affecting your whole house, waiting until Monday isn’t an option.
We’ll assess the situation, make it safe, and give you a clear explanation of what happened and what needs to happen next. If it’s something that can wait for a full repair during normal hours, we’ll tell you that too. We’re not here to upsell you on work that doesn’t need to be done right this second.
It depends on whether your electrical panel can handle the additional load and how far the charger is from the panel. If you’ve got a 200-amp panel with room to spare and the install is straightforward, you’re looking at a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars. If your panel needs to be upgraded first, add another $2,000 to $3,500.
Most people installing EV chargers in Suffolk County need a Level 2 charger, which runs on 240 volts and gives you about 20 miles of range per hour. That’s a significant electrical draw—comparable to running an electric dryer. If your panel is already near capacity, it won’t support the charger safely.
PSEG Long Island offers a Residential Charger Rebate Program for qualified Level 2 chargers. We’ll help you figure out if you’re eligible and make sure the installation meets the requirements so you can actually get the rebate. A lot of people don’t realize they qualify and end up paying more than they needed to.
License and insurance come first. If they’re not licensed, walk away. If they don’t carry liability insurance, you’re on the hook if something goes wrong. Ask to see both before any work starts.
Next, ask about upfront pricing. If they can’t give you a clear estimate before the work begins, you’re setting yourself up for surprise bills. Good contractors assess the job, explain what needs to happen, and tell you what it costs before they start.
Finally, check their track record. How long have they been in business? Do they have reviews you can read? Are they responsive when you call or email? Copiague has plenty of electrical contractors, but not all of them show up on time, communicate clearly, or stand behind their work. The ones who do tend to stick around for 20+ years and win service awards multiple years in a row.
Yes. We’re a residential and commercial electrical contractor serving Copiague, NY and all of Suffolk County. The work is different, but the standards are the same—licensed, insured, code-compliant, and done right the first time.
Commercial electrical work includes things like lighting retrofits, panel upgrades for expanding businesses, emergency repairs, electrical system maintenance, and tenant fit-outs. Residential work covers panel upgrades, EV charger installs, generator hookups, lighting, outlets, switches, and emergency repairs.
Whether it’s your home or your business, the process is the same. We assess what you need, give you upfront pricing, pull the necessary permits, complete the work to code, and make sure it passes inspection. No shortcuts, no surprises, no excuses.
