Queens building types & electrical considerations
Queens has the most varied housing stock of any NYC borough. The attached brick rowhouses of Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Ridgewood are often 1910s–1940s construction with original or partially-updated wiring. Post-war attached homes from the 1950s–1970s in Forest Hills, Rego Park, and Howard Beach frequently have aluminum branch circuit wiring — one of the most common issues we handle in Queens.
Aluminum wiring (used widely in 1965–1975 construction) is the most common electrical issue we encounter in Queens residential work. Many homeowners discover it when they try to renew homeowner’s insurance. We remediate aluminum wiring throughout Queens — either through CO/ALR device replacement or full rewiring depending on condition and scope.
Post-Sandy flooding areas — Howard Beach, Broad Channel, the Rockaways, and parts of Ozone Park — have elevated generator installation demand. We install standby generators with automatic transfer switches for coastal Queens homes that can’t afford extended outages.
Queens co-op buildings: Queens has a large stock of post-war co-op apartments, particularly in Forest Hills, Rego Park, Flushing, and Jackson Heights. We work in Queens co-ops regularly, managing all board approval and alteration agreement requirements.

What our Queens customers say
“We had aluminum wiring throughout our Forest Hills home and couldn’t renew our homeowners insurance. MP Electric did the CO/ALR remediation, provided the certification, and we had coverage renewed within two weeks. Fast, professional, and honest.”
“Emergency call at 10pm — power out to half our Astoria apartment. Electrician arrived in under 90 minutes, found a failed circuit at the panel, and had everything running within an hour. No price games, just great work.”
“Installed a standby generator at our Howard Beach house after the last storm season. They handled the DEP permit, ConEd coordination, everything. Best decision we made for our peace of mind.”
