Old Cambridge Homes, Modern Electrical Demands

The vast majority of Cambridge homes were built well before 1978, and it shows the moment you open a panel. From the Victorians and row houses of Cambridgeport to the triple-deckers of North Cambridge and the historic homes of East Cambridge, the housing here is old, and the electrical inside it was sized for a fraction of what a modern household draws. That gap between a hundred-year-old service and a house full of appliances, HVAC, and EVs is the work we handle every week.

The recurring jobs in Cambridge are consistent: a 60 or 100 amp panel that has to become a 200 amp service, knob-and-tube wiring that insurers and buyers want gone, and homes that lack the dedicated circuits a renovated kitchen or a Level 2 charger needs. The difference in Cambridge is the finishes. These homes have plaster, original moldings, and detail worth protecting, so we plan every rewire around opening as little as possible.

We are a general contractor with a licensed electrical crew in house, so most of this work ties into the remodeling we already do across Cambridge. We pull the electrical permit through the Cambridge Inspectional Services Department, coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect on a service upgrade, and stand behind the inspection, whether the job is one circuit or a full-house rewire.

Electrical Work We Do in Cambridge

From a single panel upgrade to whole-home wiring, handled in house.

The Cambridge difference

An In-House Electrical Crew, Not a Subcontractor

Most Boston-metro contractors sub out their electrical, and most electricians will not touch the finish work around it. In a Cambridge Victorian, where the plaster and moldings are the whole point, that gap is expensive: the rewire waits on an outside electrician, the Cambridge inspection slips, and nobody wants to own the wall that has to be opened and restored.

We keep licensed electrical in house. Whether your Cambridgeport kitchen needs a 200 amp service, your North Cambridge Victorian needs knob-and-tube pulled out, or you want an EV charger installed, the same team runs the wiring, opens and patches the finishes, and stands behind the inspection. Fewer handoffs, fewer delays, one number to call.

Cambridge Electrical FAQs

Straight answers before you hire, specific to electrical work in Cambridge.

Yes. Most Cambridge homes predate 1978, and the Victorians and triple-deckers around Cambridgeport, North Cambridge, and East Cambridge often still run on a 60 or 100 amp service. We size and install a 200 amp service so the home can handle a modern kitchen, central air, and an EV charger, coordinate the utility work, and pull the electrical permit with the Cambridge Inspectional Services Department.
Yes, and that is a big part of what we do in Cambridge. Knob-and-tube is common in the citys 19th-century housing and it is a frequent sticking point for insurers and home sales. We replace it with modern grounded wiring and plan the routing carefully, working with the plaster, moldings, and finishes that give these Cambridge homes their value so we open as little as possible.
Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers throughout Cambridge, including the panel upgrade that older homes usually need first to carry the load. Because we handle both the service upgrade and the charger, it is one job with one crew rather than juggling an electrician and a separate installer, which matters on tight Cambridge lots with limited access.
Because a lot of electrical work in Cambridge surfaces during remodeling, and we do both. When the panel upgrade, the rewire, and the new circuits are handled by the same team that frames and finishes the space, there is no waiting on an outside electrician and no dispute over who opens the wall in a home where every finish matters. If you only need electrical work, we do that too, licensed and permitted through the Cambridge ISD.
Yes. We are a licensed and insured contractor holding MA HIC #217519 and CSL #122193, with a licensed electrical crew in house. We pull the electrical permits and coordinate inspections, and we are happy to share our license and insurance details before your Cambridge job starts.
