Licensed Electrician in Long Beach, NY
Based in neighboring East Rockaway, Viking Electric & Design delivers code-compliant residential and commercial electrical work across Long Beach — from 200-amp service upgrades and Level 2 EV chargers to standby generator transfer switches.
Electrical Contracting Tailored to Long Beach Properties
From the West End and the Walks to the Estates, North Park, and Lido border, Viking Electric & Design delivers code-compliant coastal electrical work throughout the City of Long Beach. Just a quick trip down Long Beach Road from our East Rockaway base, we understand the unique construction of barrier-island homes.
Long Beach properties face two distinct electrical challenges: tight lot clearances (especially in the West End and Walks where narrow alleys and proximity to neighboring structures govern meter and generator placement) and harsh ocean salt air that corrodes standard aluminum and steel electrical fittings within a few seasons. We engineer compact, corrosion-resistant 200-amp services, narrow-clearance 50A generator inlets, and weatherproof EV chargers.
Local Housing Stock Profile
Dense West End beach bungalows on tight 30x60 lots, brick colonials in the Walks and Estates sections, bayfront homes along Reynolds Channel, and commercial storefronts on Park Avenue.

Long Beach Electrical Questions
- Does the City of Long Beach have its own Building Department for electrical permits?
- Yes. The City of Long Beach operates independently of the Town of Hempstead. We coordinate permits and inspections in accordance with City of Long Beach Building Department rules.
- Can I install a backup generator in the Long Beach West End where houses are close together?
- Where lot line and window setback clearances do not allow a permanent natural-gas standby unit, we install a code-compliant 30A or 50A weatherproof generator inlet box and panel interlock so you can safely connect a portable inverter generator outdoors during storm outages.
- How do you protect outdoor electrical panels and EV chargers from ocean salt air in Long Beach?
- We use NEMA 3R/4X corrosion-resistant enclosures, Schedule 80 PVC or coated metallic conduit, stainless mounting hardware, and dielectric anti-oxidant compound on terminations.
