The team was very professional and courteous, led by Dave, and including Mike for the major work, and Chris, initially. I appreciated that Dave explained all of the work he was doing in detail and the codes involved, and answered all questions with patience. I feel safe in my home with the upgrades and am very pleased with the work. The team worked hard and cleaned up afterwards. I needed an electrician but had no referrals. I found Fielack from a local add and did as much research as I could. From my initial call to the finished product, I am very satisfied with their services. There's a couple of more upgrades to be done and we'll definitely be using Fielack for them.read less

I don’t remember the guy who answered the phone but he was extremely helpful, walked me through what could possibly be the issues and didn’t make me feel stupid for not knowing.
I set an appointment and they called the day prior to tell me my time frame and then 30 mins before arriving( at the beginning of the time frame!!)
Mike and Dave where the guys who came to do the work. Friendly, professional, and honest. They walked me through the whole process of what was wrong, what they had to do to fix it, and updated me during the time to let me know the progress!
They cleaned up after themselves and respected my home - and answered all my questions even the ones that I didn’t call for!!
I will absolutely use them again and hopefully get Dave and Mike back because I know they know what they are doing!

With 3 visits from 3 different crews, Fielack Electric identified and solved each of these discrete issues in a professional manner. I should also mention that I compounded the work that they needed to do by providing some misinformation which necessitated the 3rd visit. Despite that, management (Lou and Adam) and the 3 different crews worked through each service need and didn't charge for the 3rd visit when they had every reason to do so. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Fialeck eventally placed twin 240 volt circuits into the house to handle all problems. Recently when handling a short that had suddenly appeared, they noticed that certain fixtures having halogen bulbs were overheating. On checking the wiring it was found that several of the fixtures had their insulation burnt off the wires into the fixtures with extension into the ceiling. If left unrepaired it would be a major source for a spontaneous fire developing. Fortunately they were able to remove and rewire all sites needing immediate repair.read less

6 Signs You Need to Call an Electrician
When Long Islanders are in need of electrical services, Fielack Electrical is a top electrical company on Long Island. For over 20 years, the licensed electricians have been providing outstanding electrical work. They have the skill and experience that’s necessary to tackle every job safely and affordably. Whether you need to have your electrical system upgraded or you are interested in installing new features, you can count on the crew at Fielack Electric to not only meet your needs, but exceed them.
In an effort to save money – or just for bragging rights – a lot of homeowners try to handle their own electrical work. While attempting to do the work yourself is commendable, and in some cases, it may be just fine, there are times when calling a qualified electrical company is a safer (not to mention more cost-effective) option.
But how do you know when calling an electrician is a better approach than DIY? Here’s a look at six signs that indicate calling a professional is an absolute must.
Your Circuit Keeps Tripping
If your circuit breaker is constantly tripping, you definitely need to call a licensed electrician.
A breaker is designed to trip when circuits are overloaded. This feature prevents wires from overheating and potentially sparking a fire. When a breaker frequently trips, it may be a sign that your circuits are overloaded. An electrician will be able to properly diagnose and correct the problem, ensuring the safety of convenience – and more importantly, the safety – of your home.
You Hear Strange Sounds
Electrical outlets and switches shouldn’t emit any sound. If you hear any buzzing, sizzling, or crackling sounds, you could have a serious problem on your hands. The wires that are connected to the outlet or switch may be loose, the wiring may faulty, or the breaker connected to your outlet may be putting out too few or too many amps.
If you hear strange sounds coming from your outlets or switches, don’t attempt to fix the problem yourself. Instead, immediately shut off the power to the affected area and call a licensed electrician.
The Lights are Flickering
If any lights in your home spontaneously brighten and dim, or they are shut off and turn back on, you can try changing the light bulb. If that doesn’t work, the problem may be an issue with the wiring that’s connected to the light. For example, a wire may be faulty, or it may not be connected properly.
Avoid trying to handle this problem on your own. A licensed electrician will have the knowledge and experience needed to accurately diagnose the cause of the flickering and correct it.
Your Outlets and Switch Plates are Hot
While an electrical current may make a switch plate or outlet mildly warm, it should never be hot to the touch. If you feel excessive heat coming from an outlet when you plug something in or a switch when you turn a light on or off, call an electrician. The outlet or switch may have been incorrectly wired, which is a serious issue that requires an expert to diagnose and repair.
You See Sparks
You should never see sparks coming out of any electrical outlet, switch, breaker, or fuse box. If you do, it’s a sign that something is seriously wrong.
If possible, turn off the electricity and call a licensed electrician immediately. The longer you put the problem off, the greater the chances that a fire will occur.
You Notice a Burning Smell
If you notice the smell of burning plastic coming from outlets, light switches, fixtures, or appliances, call an electrician immediately!
The smell of burning plastic could indicate a major issue that could put your family in serious risk of danger.
If any spot any of these signs in your home, don’t try to fix them on your own. These problems are too serious for someone without proper training and experience to handle. Instead, call a reputable and licensed electrician as soon as possible. Don’t put the safety of your family at risk in the hope of saving yourself a few dollars.
The experts at Fielack Electric will be able to properly identify the cause of your electrical problems and correct them, safely, quickly, and affordably.
