Licensed Electrician in Baldwin, NY
Based in neighboring East Rockaway, Viking Electric & Design delivers code-compliant residential and commercial electrical work across Baldwin — from 200-amp service upgrades and Level 2 EV chargers to standby generator transfer switches.
Electrical Contracting Tailored to Baldwin Properties
Viking Electric & Design serves all of Baldwin—from North Baldwin near Hempstead Turnpike and Milburn Avenue to the waterfront peninsulas of Baldwin Harbor south of Atlantic Avenue. Located just two towns east of East Rockaway, we provide fast, reliable scheduling for Baldwin homeowners.
In central and North Baldwin, many pre-war colonials and post-war capes still operate on 100-amp panels with older cloth-insulated branch circuits, while Baldwin Harbor homes require coastal-rated exterior meter equipment, sump-pump battery/generator backup circuits, and dock/patio GFCI wiring. We tailor every upgrade to your home’s exact layout and Town of Hempstead code.
