Living on the North Fork comes with many advantages—waterfront views, seasonal homes, charming villages, and close-knit community living. But it also brings unique electrical challenges that make having a trusted emergency electrician not just helpful, but essential. From tropical storms and winter nor’easters to aging homes and power surges, emergencies don’t wait for business hours—and neither should your electrician.
That’s where Custom Lighting of Suffolk (CLOS) comes in.

The Reality of Electrical Emergencies on the North Fork
Electrical emergencies can strike without warning, and when they do, the risks are serious. Power outages, smoking outlets, failed panels, and damaged wiring aren’t just inconvenient; they’re dangerous.
On the North Fork, where many homes are older, seasonal, or located near the water, electrical systems face added stress from:
Storm-related outages and wind damage
Salt air corrosion on electrical components
Frozen or overheated panels
Power surges during seasonal grid strain
HVAC failures and overloaded circuits
When something goes wrong, waiting until “regular hours” simply isn’t an option. A qualified emergency electrician can mean the difference between a quick repair and a major loss.
Why 24/7 Emergency Electrician Service Matters More Than You Think
Electrical problems don’t follow a 9–5 schedule. If your power goes out at 10 p.m. or your breaker starts tripping on a Sunday, you need help immediately.
CLOS provides 24/7 emergency electrical services across Suffolk County and the North Fork—including Riverhead, Greenport, Mattituck, Southold, and Shelter Island. Our rapid-response model is designed to get a licensed electrician to your door quickly, minimizing damage and restoring safety as fast as possible.
This isn’t outsourced, impersonal service. When you call CLOS, you get local professionals who know the area, the homes, and the challenges of North Fork living.
Local Knowledge Makes the Difference
Anyone can claim to offer emergency service, but not everyone understands the electrical needs of coastal Long Island homes.
With over 25 years of experience, CLOS has built a reputation as a trusted local expert. We’ve worked on everything from historic homes to waterfront estates to marinas and restaurants. We understand Suffolk County codes, permitting requirements, and how seasonal weather impacts electrical systems here.
That local insight means faster troubleshooting, smarter solutions, and safer outcomes.

CLOS electricians aren’t just experienced; they’re continuously trained. Every Tuesday morning, our team participates in Mike Holt Training, the gold standard in electrical education. This ensures that when you need an emergency electrician, you’re not getting outdated methods or guesswork—you’re getting best-in-class expertise.
We also carry extensive licensing and umbrella insurance coverage for your protection. When something goes wrong, you deserve absolute confidence in the professionals you call.
