MP Electric NYC is a certified Lutron Preferred Pro — and a licensed NYC master electrician. We specify, install, and program Caséta, RadioRA 3, and HomeWorks lighting control and motorized shades in pre-war apartments, brownstones, co-ops, and condos across all five boroughs.
The everyday workhorse. LED+ technology handles the dimmable bulbs people actually buy, and it fits standard pre-war boxes without a neutral.
App, voice and Pico remote control — and it works with no neutral wire, so it fits pre-war boxes where other smart dimmers won’t.
Multi-location control done properly, so every switch in the room behaves the way you expect on three- and four-way circuits.
Engraved scene keypads — Counter, Island, Cabinet, Cove, All Off. One press sets a whole room, replacing a bank of switches.

Lighting control is one of the most popular upgrades in NYC apartments — and one where board and alteration-agreement rules matter. As a Lutron Preferred Pro and licensed electrical contractor, we plan and install systems that satisfy building requirements and pass inspection.
We work within co-op/condo alteration-agreement requirements and provide a COI to your managing agent.
Caséta works without a neutral wire — ideal for pre-war boxes where other smart dimmers won’t fit.
RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks give multi-room scenes, keypads and app control across a full apartment.
Lutron shades integrated with your lighting, wired and programmed cleanly.
Older NYC homes are exactly where a Lutron Preferred Pro earns their keep — the wiring challenges that stop retail installers are routine for us.
Pre-war switch boxes often lack a neutral; Caséta and the right controls work without one.
We sort out three-way, four-way and legacy wiring so dimmers and keypads work reliably.
We fit modern controls into shallow, crowded pre-war boxes cleanly.
Multi-floor scenes and keypads coordinated across a full brownstone.

Trained and certified by Lutron to specify, install, and program their systems — not a general handyman guessing at the app.
The wiring behind the system is ours too: boxes, neutrals, grounding, new circuits, and DOB permits where the work requires them.
We work in old NYC buildings every day — shallow boxes, cloth wiring, no neutrals — and correct what we find instead of forcing a fixture on.
Co-op and condo alteration agreements plus certificates of insurance are routine for us, so your project doesn't stall on paperwork.
Lutron pricing depends on the system (Caséta vs. RadioRA 3 vs. HomeWorks), how many dimmers, switches and keypads, whether motorized shades are included, the wiring conditions in your building, and programming. We quote from your actual home.
Great entry point — dimmers, switches and Pico remotes, quoted by device and wiring.
Multi-room scenes and keypads; site-specific package pricing.
Fully custom, design-led installs with engraved keypads — proposal after a walkthrough.
