It wasn’t after more than a minute on the phone with Lucy that Andrew came on, understood my situation and said “I’m going myself to see what’s wrong.” Personal and conscientious attention such as this is rare. And so is Popkin Electric. Thank you so much, Andrew, for your prompt attention to and easy diagnosis and remedy of what could’ve become a very dangerous situation. I will use Popkin Electric for all my future electrical needs. read less

From my initial phone call to the office with Lucy, meeting with Andrew to go over the work I wanted to be completed and through out the job everything was explained and carried out with the utmost professionalism as planned. I decided to add a few items and it was no problem at all. All of my questions were answered prior to the job and during the job with knowledgeable explanations. When Pablo and the crew left I was extremally happy with the end results and more importantly I felt that the job was done correctly and all safety concerns/issues were addressed. Do not hesitate to call Popkin Electric. I most certainly will be using them again and recommending them to friends and family. read less

Andrew serviced several of our residential homes and most recently our commercial building in Hicksville. He was prompt, courteous, professional as well as fairly priced. Other electricians couldn't figure out the problem and PSEG was no help. Andrew not only was able to diagnose the problem, he contacted PSEG directly to get it sorted out. We highly recommend him. read less

I spoke to Andrew and explained the problem. He gave me an option to do first, rather than sending his team and get charged for a service fee. I did what he said and problem was solved. He also called back at the end of the day to check on my problem. A professional business conduct. This business is on the top our list.Thank you. read less

However, being in the same home for this period of time, and seeing what work held up and what work did not, I felt it was appropriate to leave a review now, 17 years later, as there is hardly any work that was done initially on my home that has lasted the test of time...except the electrical work. After 17 years, my electrical work done at my new home at the time by Popkin Electric is one of the very few jobs in which NOTHING has gone wrong. This is unique. Extensive project involving tons of wiring, fixtures and many unique job requests (I am a smart home and automation freak) and nothing has had to be replaced or serviced except for one ceiling fan, which oddly, was not something provided by Popkin, only installed. As a homeowner who paid great attention to all work being performed as my home was built, Popkin's wiring and circuits were a work of art. I regret not taking enough pictures before drywall went up as I want to open walls for my friends and show them the precision and perfection in everything they did, even the stuff nobody would see again. Amazing company, around forever and stellar work that stands the test of time, which I can vouch for at least 17 years!! I find that to be impressive! If you require a job to be done right and perfect the first time, you will be happy selecting Popkin Electric. read less

In addition we had installation of new outlets panels and outdoor floodlights. In every aspect of the work, Popkin electricians arrived on time, performed the tasks capably, and cleaned up after their work. Their help in designing and addressing our needs was invaluable. Moreover, they stood behind their work and returned to correct any issues that may have arisen. They helped us apply for funding available for converting to LED lighting. As project manager for the church, I wholeheartedly recommend Popkin and sons. read less

How to Avoid Electrical Fires in Glen Cove, NY

Unfortunately, electrical fires in Glen Cove homes are a frequent occurrence. These types of fires have been reported as one of the leading causes of fire and resulted in many home injuries and deaths. The good news is, your Glen Cove home and loved ones do not have to become statistics. Popkin Electric, one of the top Long Island Electrical Companies, has compiled a list of reasons that electrical fires occur. Read on so you can avoid household electrical fires.

Faulty Outlets and Appliances

All Electrical Contractors in Nassau County will tell you that many electrical fires are caused by faulty electrical outlets and old, outdated appliances. Other fires are started by shorts in appliance cords or switches. To avoid these types of accidents, you shouldn’t ever use an appliance with a worn or frayed cord. This can send heat onto combustible surfaces like floors, curtains, and rugs that can start a fire right away.

Faulty Light fixtures

Many fires in Nassau County are caused by faulty light fixtures, lamps and light bulbs. If you accidentally install a bulb with a wattage that is too high for the lamps and light fixtures, you could be in danger of starting an electrical fire. To be safe, you should always check the maximum recommended bulb wattage on any lighting fixture or lamp and never go over the recommended amount.

Misuse of Extension Cords

Did you know that extension cords should only be used as a temporary measure of power? These cords are not meant to withstand a major power supply for a long period of time. Many people have started fires by plugging in major appliances into extension cords. If you do not have the correct outlets for an appliance that you own, call a commercial contractor who can install new ones for you in Glen Cove.

Space Heaters in Bad Locations

Space heaters are a great way to carry heat with you wherever you need to go in Nassau County. However, sometimes people put them in the wrong locations. Space heaters should never be placed anywhere near combustible surfaces. Combustible surfaces include surfaces such as curtains, beds, clothing, rugs, couches, and chairs. If you own a coil space heater, you must be even more careful. The coils in these kinds of space heaters get so hot that they can almost instantly ignite any nearby flammable surface. If you do use space heaters, use the radiator-type that diffuses heat over the entire surface of the appliance. These are less likely to ignite flammable items, but should still be kept far away from them.

Outdated Wiring

If your home in Glen Cove Nassau is over 20 years old, you may have some outdated wiring. Outdated wiring in Nassau can cause major electrical fires. Glen Cove homes that are on the older side are not equipped with the wiring capacity that is often used by electrical appliances today. Air conditioners, microwaves, computers, and other major appliances have caused damage to many older homes. Breakers should be triggered when circuits get overloaded by too much electricity, but outdated breaker boxes often have worn connectors that do not work. This can cause the entire electrical system to overload and start an electrical fire. If you need to get new wiring done in your home, you should call a Long Island electrician for a consultation for prices on updated electrical services.

If you would like more information about how you can avoid electrical fires, please call Popkin Electric today. We would be more than happy to discuss ways you can safely enjoy your appliances. Remember that your Glen Cove home doesn’t have to be one of the many that have been destroyed by electrical fires. Our team of electricians in Suffolk County are here to ensure that you and your family stay safe and connected!

Glen Cove is a city in Nassau County, New York, on the North Shore of Long Island. At the United States 2010 census, the city population was 26,964, and 27,166 at the 2019 American Community Survey.

Succeeding cultures of indigenous peoples had lived in the area for thousands of years. At the time of European contact, bands of the Lenape (Delaware) nation inhabited western Long Island, the areas of New York and New Jersey around the harbor, and along the coast through present-day Pennsylvania and Delaware, as well as along the Delaware River. They spoke an Algonquian language. By 1600 the band inhabiting this local area was called the Matinecock after their location.

Glen Cove was used as a port by English migrants from New England and named Moscheto before 1668. On May 24, 1668 Joseph Carpenter of Warwick, Rhode Island purchased about 2,000 acres (8.1 km²) of land to the northwest of the Town of Oyster Bay from the Matinecock. Later in that year, he admitted four residents of Oyster Bay as co-partners in the project: brothers Nathaniel, Daniel, and Robert Coles; and Nicholas Simkins. The five young men named the settlement Musketa Cove Plantation, musketa meaning place of rushes in the Lenape language.

In the 1830s, steamboats started regular service on Long Island Sound between New York City and Musketa Cove, arriving at a point still called The Landing. As Musketa was negatively associated with mosquito, in 1834 residents changed the name to Glen Cove; this was said to be taken from the misheard suggestion of Glencoe, meaning Glencoe, Scotland.
