Neighborhood Electrician - Alan Riback

Neighborhood Electrician - Alan Riback

I was having a cup of coffee with a friend this morning when Alan Riback, a neighborhood electrician highly recommended by our very exacting neighbors came by to swap out some lighting fixtures, outlets and a hardwired electric space heater. As the bell rang she asked "Is it Alan?" - turns out he'd done some work on their apartment as well.

So for the files: if you need an electrician who is licensed, and insured, will come as promised, be pleasant, very professional, quick, as well as reasonable, give Alan a call: 718 284 0920 or in emergency situations 917 327 7377.

Living in the neighborhood, he's become an expert on old house electrical problems, but he will happily work on apartments as well, and in general does all kinds of electrical work - from installing a light fixture to rewiring a house to installing landscape and security lighting. His email is wirelights@aol.com if you have questions, want more information or references.

From experience - it helps to have a list of stuff you'd like him (or any electrician) to take care of/look at so that you don't have to have them keep coming back - ends up being cheaper!

A happy customer, and happy to give my business to someone good in the neighborhood.
