Electrician for Property Management Companies on Long Island
One licensed electrical contractor for every building in your Nassau and Suffolk portfolio: unit turnovers, common-area lighting, meter rooms and scheduled maintenance, with the paperwork your vendor file needs.
Property managers do not need a different electrician for every building. They need one contractor who answers the phone during business hours, shows up when the work order says, and sends the certificate of insurance before anyone asks. No Shorts Electric has served Long Island since 1984 and works with managers who look after apartment buildings, mixed-use properties and small commercial portfolios across Nassau and western Suffolk.
The work is mostly recurring: a unit turns over and needs outlets, fixtures and a safety check before the next tenant; a parking lot light goes dark; a meter room needs a repair the utility will sign off on; a board wants the common areas on LED before the budget closes. We handle each of those as part of a standing relationship, not a one-off call.
What we handle for managed properties
- Unit turnover electrical: outlet and switch replacement, GFCI protection in kitchens and baths, fixture swaps, smoke and carbon monoxide detector wiring, and a written safety check for the file.
- Common areas: hallway, stairwell, lobby and parking lot lighting, photocells and timers, exit and emergency lighting tests.
- Meter rooms and service equipment: repairs, main and sub-panel work, coordination with PSEG Long Island when the utility has to be involved.
- Tenant and resident requests routed through your office, scheduled inside our 7 AM to 8 PM window seven days a week.
- EV charging for residents, including the utility make-ready programs that cover much of the infrastructure cost.
How we work with your office
Work orders come in by phone or email to a named contact who knows your properties. We confirm a window, the technician photographs the work before and after, and the invoice references your job or unit number so accounting can match it. Pricing is structured per portfolio so the same job costs the same at every building, and repeat visits are quoted from the record of the last one.
For boards and owners we prepare short, plain-language proposals: what is wrong, what we recommend, what it includes and excludes, and how long it takes. No pressure and no jargon.
Vendor paperwork, handled
Certificate of insurance naming your company and the ownership entity, W-9, our Nassau County license number 203146, and workers’ compensation coverage are on file and sent on request. If your platform requires vendor registration, we complete it. See the vendor onboarding page for the full packet.
Questions managers ask
Do you work from our work-order system?
Yes. Email, phone or a vendor portal all work. Tell us how your office dispatches and we match it.
Can you price a whole portfolio?
Yes. Standing properties get a rate structure that applies at every building, and recurring work such as turnovers is quoted from the last job on record.
Will residents deal with you directly?
Only if you want them to. By default every request routes through your office and we report back to you, not the resident.
