Somerville Homes Were Wired for a Different Century

Somerville is one of the most densely built cities in New England, and most of its homes are triple-deckers, two-families, and colonials that went up around a hundred years ago. They were wired for a couple of lights and a radio, not for a modern kitchen, central air, a home office, and an EV in the driveway. From Winter Hill and Spring Hill to Union Square and East Somerville, the electrical is the part of these homes that has aged the hardest.

That means the same handful of jobs come up again and again here: a 60 or 100 amp panel that trips under a normal modern load and needs upgrading to 200 amps, knob-and-tube wiring that scares off insurers and buyers and needs replacing, and homes that simply do not have the dedicated circuits a new kitchen or a Level 2 EV charger requires. We handle all of it, and we route the work to open as little plaster as possible in a home you are living in.

We are a general contractor with a licensed electrical crew in house, so most of this work happens alongside the construction and remodeling we already do in Somerville. We pull the electrical permit through the Somerville Inspectional Services Division, coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect on a service upgrade, and stand behind the inspection. One accountable crew, whether it is a single circuit or a full-house rewire.

The Somerville difference

An In-House Electrical Crew, Not a Subcontractor

Most contractors in the Boston metro sub out their electrical, and most electricians do not touch the construction around it. On an old Somerville home that gap is where jobs stall: the panel upgrade waits on an outside electrician, the ISD inspection slips, and two trades argue over who opens and closes the wall.

We keep licensed electrical in house. Whether your Winter Hill kitchen needs a 200 amp service, your Union Square rental needs knob-and-tube pulled out, or you want an EV charger in the driveway, the same team runs the wiring, opens and patches the wall, and stands behind the inspection. Fewer handoffs, fewer delays, one number to call.

  • Level 2 EV charger installs, including the panel work they need

Somerville Electrical FAQs

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

Yes, and it is one of our most common jobs in this city. A lot of Somerville triple-deckers and two-families around Winter Hill, Spring Hill, and East Somerville still run on a 60 or 100 amp service that was never meant for a modern kitchen, central air, and an EV charger. We size and install a 200 amp service, coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with the utility, and pull the electrical permit with the Somerville ISD.
Yes. Knob-and-tube is still hiding in the walls of plenty of century-old Somerville homes near Union Square and Ball Square, and it is a common reason insurers and buyers get nervous. We replace it with modern grounded wiring, whether it is a single circuit or a full-house rewire, and we plan the routing to minimize how much plaster we have to open in an occupied home.
Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers for Somerville homeowners, including the panel work that usually comes with it. On an older home the panel often has to be upgraded first to carry the load, and because we handle both the panel and the charger, it is one job with one crew instead of two separate contractors.
Because most of the electrical work in Somerville homes shows up during construction and remodeling, and we do both. When the panel upgrade, the rewire, and the new circuits are handled by the same team that framed and finished the space, there is no waiting on an outside electrician and no finger pointing over who opens the wall. If you only need electrical work, we do that too, licensed and permitted through the Somerville 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 Somerville job starts.
