Once your generator is installed, you’ll need reliable technicians available 24/7 and capable of providing quick services. Generator Supercenter of New Hampshire provides experienced technicians for generator installation, repair, and maintenance. Benefits of working with our team: Full-service – Whether you need a new generator, or your current one is malfunctioning, we won’t leave until your generator is up and running as it should be. Convenience – If something goes wrong with your generator, you don’t have to worry about going out to buy a new one or to replace parts. We will come to your home or business and take care of it for you. Free on-site estimate – When you call us, you’re not committed to a service—our estimates are free, so you can meet with a member of our team to learn about your options with no strings attached! Unfortunately we do not do anything with portable generators or any brands not manufactured by Generac. We are also not a parts distributor.

We have been a Waltham based local electrical company since 1993.

We have courteous and qualified electricians that will complete any electrical job, small or large. We pride ourselves in quality, service and when the job is done, cleanliness! You will not need to clean after us. We are here for all your electrical needs from lighting design, installing an extra receptacle to wiring a new building.

We are fully licensed and insured and have been vote best of the best since 2000.

"Peter is a professional! I got a few quotes and while Peter's wasn't the lowest, I could tell he takes pride in his work and would make sure the job was done correctly. On the scheduled date, he and two workers showed up on time and got to work. The work we had done included installing a fan brace, medallion, and chandelier in our living room, installing a medallion over a chandelier in our guest bedroom, and installing a medallion on a chandelier 20+ feet up (that required two ladders and a plank straddling a staircase). The guys worked fast and once the hard stuff was done, Peter left it to his guys to clean and wrap it up (which is good because Peter's hourly rate is higher than his workers). Overall, was very satisfied with their work and will be hiring them again for my electrical needs."

"Mike put in a bunch of recessed lights in our home, which made all the difference. He was communicative and did a proper job, was available and flexible with our timing and did the work at a good price. He even fixed some grounding for our washing machine before we even hired him! Would definitely work with him again, can highly recommend."

FAQs for electrical service projects in Boston, MA

It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:

  • Are you a full-time electrician?

  • Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?

  • What level of experience do you have as an electrician?

  • Can you please share three references?

  • Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?

  • What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?

  • Will any subcontractors be performing the work?

  • Are permits and inspections required?

  • Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?

  • What is your schedule?

  • Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?

Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.

Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate. 

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.

Yes, although there are different types of electricians, they must be licensed, certified, and in most cases insured. States have different requirements for electrician licensing and certifications. In some cases, there may be licensing requirements at the local level, but not the state level. It’s always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. If licensing is not required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed electrician with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project.

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
