About Bronx Electric Co.
Born in the Bronx. Built on integrity. Powering the borough since 2009.
Meet James Rivera, Owner
I grew up on the Grand Concourse and knew I wanted to work with my hands from the time I was a kid rewiring my grandmother's lamp at age 12. After graduating from the IBEW Local 3 apprenticeship program, I spent 10 years doing commercial electrical work in midtown Manhattan — high-rises, hospitals, data centers.
In 2009, I came home to the Bronx and started Bronx Electric Co. because I saw too many neighbors getting overcharged by companies that drove up from other boroughs and didn't know or care about the community. I wanted to build something different — an electrical company that the Bronx could trust.
Today we're a team of 10 licensed electricians and we've completed over 5,000 residential and commercial jobs. From panel upgrades in Fordham to EV charger installs in Riverdale to full rewires in Morris Park — we know every building type in this borough because we live here too.
