"Paul arrived on time, quickly identified a workable solution to my electrical need. He noted equipment and wiring I already had installed and used that knowledge to give me an estimate that was much less than previous estimates. He is very knowledgeable, got the job done quickly and I would heartily recommend him for any electrical work."

"We highly recommend J.P. McCurdy Electrical Services. We hired this exceptional shop to replace all the old knob and tube wiring (along with switching out a number of light fixtures and installing several ceiling fans) in our 120-year-old Victorian home – a challenging job that a couple of other electricians didn’t feel confident undertaking. Owner Jack McCurdy personally came to size up the job and give us a detailed estimate, and his professionalism, courtesy and extensive knowledge sold us. What was originally thought to be a two-week job was finished in six working days as foreman Joe Costain efficiently deployed his crew and brought in a second crew on a few days to expedite the work. Joe was great at communicating what kind of activity we could expect day-to-day, especially as both my wife and I are working from home fulltime during the COVID pandemic. He and the crew checked in frequently on our preferences, minimized the number of holes in the ceilings and walls (including avoiding harming our wallpaper in a couple of rooms altogether), and cleaned up well at the end of every day. Jack’s estimate was competitive and the final accounting accurately included the additions and subtractions we agreed to during the job. We feel so much better that we’ve finally eliminated the risky knob and tube wiring and updated the entire house’s electrical system. McCurdy is a full-service shop that does all kinds of electrical work – if you want a trustworthy and capable electrician, give Jack a call!"

"Highly recommend. He installed our EV charger and also transfer switch so we can use our EV battery to power things in the house during power outage. Very knowledgeable in his field. Very easy to work with. Friendly and respectful. And extremely responsive to my inquiries (even off hours). Will definitely hire him again for other electrical needs. So glad to have found him."

"I could not be more pleased with DiMasi Electric. We were having an issue with some outlets in our kitchen. The DiMasi team was super responsive from our initial inquiry through completion of the job. As soon as I explained the issue, they knew how to solve it, and when they arrived exactly on time a few days later, had it fixed in an hour. They were also very upfront about pricing and came in well below the estimate they provided us. DiMasi will be our first call the next time we need electrical help!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Boston, you’ll find residential electricians for home wiring and repairs, specialists in historic home electrical upgrades, smart home integration experts, commercial electricians for business properties, and contractors focused on solar installations. Many Boston electricians are experienced in working with the city’s older housing stock, ensuring safe updates that preserve architectural character while meeting modern energy efficiency standards.

Helpful?

Completing electrical projects in Boston provides immediate safety improvements, especially in older homes where outdated wiring is common. Upgrades support modern appliances, improve energy efficiency, and help prevent electrical fires. Over time, these improvements can lower insurance premiums, reduce unexpected repair needs, and make your home adaptable for future smart home technology as Boston continues to modernize its housing stock.

Helpful?

For Boston homes, copper wiring is preferred for its durability in humid and variable weather. Use weather-resistant, THWN-2 rated wire for outdoor or basement installations, and ensure all outlets in kitchens and bathrooms have GFCI protection. Whole-house surge protectors are recommended for older homes. In historic neighborhoods, choose fixtures that match the home’s period style while using concealed wiring to maintain both safety and character.

Helpful?

In Boston, electrical systems benefit from annual professional inspections to check panels, wiring, and outlets. Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors every six months, and monitor outdoor electrical equipment for weather-related wear, especially after winter storms. In coastal areas, watch for salt corrosion on exterior fixtures. For homes with mature trees, keep branches trimmed away from power lines to help prevent outages and damage.

Helpful?

Upgrading electrical systems in Boston often increases your home’s value and makes it more appealing to buyers, particularly in neighborhoods with historic homes. Features like new electrical panels, upgraded wiring, and energy-efficient lighting are attractive to buyers seeking move-in ready properties. In Boston’s active real estate market, homes with modern, reliable electrical systems and smart home upgrades stand out and attract more interest.
