Licensed Electrician in Oceanside, NY
Based in neighboring East Rockaway, Viking Electric & Design delivers code-compliant residential and commercial electrical work across Oceanside — from 200-amp service upgrades and Level 2 EV chargers to standby generator transfer switches.
Electrical Contracting Tailored to Oceanside Properties
Minutes east of our East Rockaway headquarters, Oceanside is one of Viking Electric & Design’s most active service areas. From the residential neighborhoods off Davison Avenue, Waukena Avenue, and Terrell Avenue to commercial storefronts along Long Beach Road and Lawson Boulevard, our trucks are in Oceanside every week.
Many of Oceanside’s classic split-levels and high-ranches were built during the post-war boom with 100-amp service panels, tuck-under garages, and limited 20-amp kitchen and basement circuits. When homeowners remodel kitchens, finish lower levels, add pool equipment, or install Level 2 EV chargers and standby generators, we upgrade their electrical infrastructure to clean, safe 200-amp Town of Hempstead code standards.
Local Housing Stock Profile
