Your breakers stop tripping every time you run the microwave and coffee maker at once. You can charge your EV without worrying whether your panel will handle it. Your lights stay steady when the AC kicks on.
Most homes in Flanders were built in the 1970s with 60 to 100 amp panels. That was fine back then. Today, you’re running smart home systems, multiple computers, kitchen appliances that didn’t exist 50 years ago, and maybe an electric vehicle charger. Your electrical system wasn’t designed for this load.
When your panel gets upgraded to 150 or 200 amps, you’re not just adding capacity. You’re eliminating the constant worry about what you can and can’t plug in. You’re protecting your home from the heat buildup that happens when circuits get overloaded. And you’re making sure your electrical system can actually support the way you live now—not the way people lived in 1975.
Marra Electric is a fully licensed and insured electrical company based in Bohemia, serving Flanders and all of Suffolk County for over 20 years. We show up in branded vehicles, wearing uniforms, with upfront pricing before any work starts.
We’ve earned the Angie’s List Super Service Award seven years running. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because we answer the phone, show up when we say we will, and do the work right the first time.

Panel upgrades are one of the most common jobs we do in Flanders. Your home needs more power than it did 40 years ago, and upgrading your panel to 150 or 200 amps makes everything safer and more reliable. You can add an EV charger, run your appliances without tripping breakers, and support smart home technology without overloading your system.
Generator installation is another big one. When storms roll through and knock out power for hours or days, a whole-house generator keeps your fridge running, your heat on, and your family comfortable. We handle the installation, permitting, and connection so it kicks on automatically when the power goes out.
Emergency electrical repairs happen. Outlets stop working. Breakers trip and won’t reset. You lose power in part of your house and can’t figure out why. We’re available 24 hours a day because electrical problems don’t wait for business hours. If it’s a safety issue or you need power restored right away, we respond.
Lighting upgrades, EV charger installations, home automation setups, circuit breaker repairs—we handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical services. Every job is done to code, inspected properly, and backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
If your breakers trip frequently, your lights dim when appliances turn on, or you can’t run multiple devices at the same time without losing power, your panel is likely undersized for your current electrical load. Most homes built in the 1970s in Flanders have 60 to 100 amp panels, which can’t handle modern electrical demands.
You’ll also need an upgrade if you’re adding an EV charger, a home addition, or major appliances like a hot tub or central air system. These draw significant power, and your existing panel may not have the capacity or available breaker slots to support them safely.
Another sign is if your panel has a Federal Pacific or Zinsco breaker box. These brands are known for safety issues and should be replaced. If you’re unsure, we can assess your panel during a free estimate and let you know whether an upgrade is necessary or if your current system is fine.
A panel upgrade involves replacing your existing electrical panel with a larger one—typically 150 or 200 amps—that can handle your home’s current and future electrical needs. We start by shutting off power to your home, removing the old panel, and installing the new one with updated breakers and wiring.
The process also includes coordinating with your utility company to upgrade the meter if needed, pulling the necessary permits, and scheduling inspections with Suffolk County to make sure everything meets code. Most panel upgrades take one to two days, depending on the complexity of your electrical system and whether any additional wiring or repairs are required.
You’ll be without power for part of the day while we complete the work, but we’ll give you a clear timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly. Once the upgrade is done and inspected, your home will have the capacity to safely support all your electrical needs without constant breaker trips or safety concerns.
Yes. Electrical emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we. If you’ve lost power, have sparking outlets, smell burning near your electrical panel, or are dealing with any situation that poses a safety risk, we’re available 24/7 to respond.
Emergency situations can escalate quickly. A tripped breaker that won’t reset might indicate a serious wiring issue. Flickering lights combined with a burning smell could mean your system is overloaded and overheating. These aren’t problems you want to ignore overnight or over the weekend.
When you call, we’ll assess the urgency of your situation and dispatch a licensed electrician to your home as quickly as possible. We carry the tools and materials needed to handle most emergency repairs on the spot, so you’re not left waiting days for parts or a follow-up visit. Your safety and your home’s electrical integrity are the priority.
Cost depends entirely on what you need done. A simple outlet repair might run a couple hundred dollars. A full panel upgrade typically ranges from $2,000 to $4,000 depending on the size of the panel, the condition of your existing wiring, and whether any additional work is required to bring everything up to code.
Generator installations vary based on the size of the unit and whether you’re installing a portable or whole-house system. EV charger installations depend on the distance from your panel to your garage and whether your panel has the capacity to support the charger without an upgrade.
We provide free estimates for all services, and we give you upfront pricing before any work begins. You’ll know exactly what it costs, what’s included, and what to expect. No surprise bills. No vague “we’ll figure it out as we go” pricing. You approve the cost first, then we do the work.
Electrical work is one of the few home projects where a mistake can kill you or burn your house down. Even if you’re handy and comfortable with DIY projects, electrical systems are complex, dangerous, and heavily regulated. One wrong connection can cause a fire, electrocution, or equipment damage.
Licensed electricians have years of training and experience. We know how to safely work with live electrical systems, how to size wires and breakers correctly, and how to install everything according to Suffolk County code. If the work isn’t done to code, you’ll fail inspection, and you could face fines or be required to redo the work entirely.
Insurance is another factor. If you do electrical work yourself and something goes wrong—say, faulty wiring causes a fire—your homeowner’s insurance may not cover the damage. When a licensed and insured electrical contractor does the work, you’re protected. Plus, if an inspector has questions or requires changes, we handle it. You’re not stuck trying to troubleshoot code violations on your own.
We serve all of Suffolk County. That includes Flanders and surrounding towns like Riverhead, Southampton, East Quogue, Westhampton, Manorville, and everywhere in between. We’re based in Bohemia, so we’re centrally located to respond quickly throughout the county.
Whether you’re in a residential neighborhood, running a commercial property, or managing a business that needs electrical work, we handle it. We’ve been working in Suffolk County since 2004, so we know the area, the common electrical issues in different towns, and how local inspectors expect work to be done.
If you’re not sure whether we cover your specific location, just call. We’ll let you know right away if we can help, and if for some reason we can’t, we’ll point you toward someone who can. But chances are, if you’re in Suffolk County, we’ve done work in your area before.
