Nassau County Service Areas
We work across all of Nassau County and the western end of Long Island. Here is how it breaks down by the authority that regulates the job, because that is what decides your permit and inspection.
Freeport, Garden City, Rockville Centre, Valley Stream, Lynbrook, Elmont, Franklin Square, Bellmore, Merrick, Oceanside, Levittown, East Meadow and the rest of the town. Licensing runs through the Town of Hempstead, and inspection through town-approved agencies. Freeport and Rockville Centre have their own electric utilities. On the South Shore the town’s flood rules also apply: in a mapped flood hazard area, new and replacement electrical equipment must sit at least two feet above base flood elevation or be built to keep water out (Hempstead flood ordinance). Whether a like-for-like panel swap triggers that is a question for the Building Department, so we check the flood map first.
Great Neck, Manhasset, Port Washington, Roslyn, Mineola, New Hyde Park, Westbury and the neighboring communities. The town wants rough wiring inspected before the walls close, and some villages, Westbury for one, add their own license step on top of a town license.
Hicksville, Syosset, Jericho, Plainview, Bethpage, Massapequa and the neighboring communities. Oyster Bay has its own license classes, takes permit applications through its Building Division, and sends propane generator installations to the Nassau County Fire Marshal.
Two cities with their own building departments. Long Beach has been entirely inside the FEMA flood zone since September 2009, so panel and meter height is part of almost every service job there.
Western Suffolk (Babylon, Huntington, Islip and Smithtown), Queens including the Rockaways, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island. Each works differently: Con Edison supplies much of New York City and Brooklyn, Suffolk and Nassau license electricians by county, and the five boroughs file through the Department of Buildings. We follow the process for whichever area your job is in.
Your mailing address may name a different community than the village you actually live in, because post offices and school districts do not follow village lines. If you are not sure which village’s rules apply, your village hall or town clerk can tell you, or ask us.
