Electrical Services in Charlestown

Comprehensive electrical services for homes and businesses — licensed, insured, and backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Commercial Electrician Services

Commercial electrical work requires strict code compliance, proper load calculations, and coordination with inspectors and general contractors. Our licensed commercial electricians deliver permitted, inspected, and insured work on every project.

Electrical Panel Upgrade

Aging panels with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or fuse-based systems are documented fire hazards. Our licensed electricians replace them with UL-listed equipment that meets current NEC safety standards.

Aluminum Wiring Replacement

Aluminum wiring installed in homes from the 1960s and 1970s is a documented fire hazard. Replacing it with modern copper wiring dramatically reduces your risk and may lower your insurance premiums.

Electrical Repair Services

Our electricians diagnose the root cause of the problem, explain the repair before starting, fix the issue with commercial-grade materials, and test the circuit to confirm a lasting solution.

Smoke Detector Installation

Battery-only smoke detectors fail when batteries die. Our electricians install hardwired units with sealed backup batteries per current code, ensuring your family is protected around the clock.

Security Camera Wiring

We run Cat6 or coax cable from each camera location to your DVR or NVR, mount cameras at optimal angles, install weatherproof junction boxes, and power everything through a centralized system.

EV Charger Installation

Charge your electric vehicle overnight at home and wake up with a full battery every morning. A Level 2 charger delivers up to 10x faster charging than a standard outlet.

Landscape Lighting Installation

Outdoor wiring must withstand moisture, temperature swings, and soil contact. Our electricians use UL-listed wet-rated fixtures, GFCI-protected circuits, and proper burial depths to ensure lasting safety.

Circuit Breaker Repair

We test the suspect breaker with calibrated equipment, check for loose bus connections and signs of arcing, replace the faulty breaker with a matching UL-listed unit, and load-test the circuit.

Ceiling Fan Installation

We handle the full installation process, from securing the fan-rated electrical box and running new wiring to balancing the blades and programming remote controls.

Indoor Lighting Installation

Upgrade your home with new light fixtures that transform the look and feel of every room. Professional installation ensures proper support, clean wiring, and the right dimming compatibility.

Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation

We install hardwired CO detectors at code-required locations near bedrooms and fuel-burning appliances, interconnect them with your smoke alarm system, and verify operation with professional testing equipment.

Hot Tub / Pool Electrical Wiring

Water and electricity are a deadly combination. Pool and hot tub wiring requires GFCI protection, proper bonding of all metal surfaces, and specific clearance distances. Our electricians follow NEC Article 680 to the letter.

Generator Installation

Keep your home powered through any outage with a professionally installed backup generator. Enjoy uninterrupted comfort and security when the grid goes down.

Electrical Troubleshooting

Electrical problems often hide behind walls where they quietly worsen. Our licensed electricians follow a systematic diagnostic process to find issues before they become fire hazards or safety threats.

Outlet Installation

Our electricians locate the nearest power source, run new wiring through your walls, install the outlet box, and test the circuit to confirm safe, reliable operation.

Whole House Surge Protector

Power surges destroy electronics, damage appliance control boards, and can even start fires. Our electricians install UL-listed surge protectors with proper grounding to defend your entire electrical system.

Recessed Lighting Installation

Recessed lights create a clean, modern look while flooding your rooms with even illumination. LED recessed fixtures also cut your lighting energy use by up to 75 percent.

Smart devices need proper wiring to function reliably. Many older homes lack neutral wires in switch boxes, causing flickering or device failure. Our electricians verify and upgrade wiring so your smart home works right.

Electrical Inspection
