About Us

Our Legacy of Excellence in Electrical & Lighting Solutions

Edward Joy Electric was founded by Edward Joy in 1875. The business was originally located at the corner of East Washington and Market Streets, across from the modern City Hall building. In 1954, Edward Joy Electric’s building was subject to eminent domain by the state of New York for its new Hughes Office Building. Thus, forcing the company to move to its current location on Canal Street.

The company has participated in the construction of many Syracuse area landmarks, such as the State Tower Building, Onondaga courthouse, St Joseph’s Hospital, Le Moyne College, Colgate University and Syracuse University.

I had a (really) old bulb blow out on me last week. I took the bulb to Home Depot and they did not have a replacement. I found Edward Joy Electric by accident on my way home, decided to stop by, and was delighted to see that they had the exact bulb I needed in stock. The guys at the electric counter were professional and got what I needed quickly.Edit: I am editing my post because the staff at Edward Joy were kind enough to reach out to me about my previous complaints. My original review included that my initial impression of the customer service over the phone was not good. However, I have removed this part of my review given the staff’s quick response to my concerns. Edward Joy Electric is a great place to get your lightbulbs and light fixtures.

My husband and I went looking for a ceiling fan for our new room. Bernice showed us many options . She was very knowledgeable and when I described what I wanted she took me right to it! During my time there people came in periodically and let me tell you, Bernice acknowledged everyone of them in the utmost friendliness way! This place is so fortunate to have an employee like her!

Worked with Billy and another very helpful man and woman to select lights for our entryway and kitchen. They were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helped us select matching fixtures. We had questions on a particular fixture that they didn't know the answer to but Billy said he would followup after the weekend with the manufacturer to get the details. He called me early afternoon with the answer to our questions.The quality of the lights are definetly superior to "the big box stores" or online stores. Much better materials and WAY easier to hang/install.The selection was huge and we struggled to decide among many competing options and found ourselves wanting to replace every light in the house.We will definetly be back in the future! I wish we had found them years ago.

I ordered a sconce glass piece that I thought would be impossible to get since the fixture is 30 years old, or that it would take months to get if it was in stock. The salesperson was proactive over the phone and looked up the manufacturer for me after I sent her a photo of it. She told me it would take about three weeks to get and it did. Also, the tall gentleman at the sales counter was very professional and greeted me immediately. The whole transaction took less than 5 minutes.
