We prefer to be a cut above the rest and not give a low ball price to get in your home & then up the price. We will arrive on time, perform an on-site inspection & provide you with a STRAIGHT FORWARD PRICE up front in writing prior to beginning any work. A small dispatch fee is required to pay. We will send a licensed, certified electrician to your home in a van stocked with 1,000's of parts. All of our employees at Electrical Experts are drug tested and background checked for your safety. The technician will come out to your home, give you the "red carpet treatment" and a complementary 10 point home safety inspection. WE HAVE A 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE OR YOUR MONEY BACK! We now offer a 10% discount for anyone over 65 or older/ active or retired military personnel

"RJ was excellent! Very helpful and informative about the condition of the wiring, the options for upgrading, and how we can finance the costs. The company was very responsive and professional. In addition, RJ communicated clearly and helped my mother understand the situation and how she could best address it. Eric"

I am a Licensed Electrician and have been working in the trade for over 10 years. I specialize in residential and commercial electrical installations, repairs, additions and maintenance. I also do Home Theater and Audio installations and Home Automation integration, as well as home and commercial enterprise grade WiFi and networking. I look forward to working with you. MA License #8127 A1 MA S-License #SS-002302 Fully Insured Services: - New Electrical Installations - Electrical renovations and additions - Electrical repairs and maintenance - Generator and transfer switches - Home Audio/Home Theater wiring - Home Automation Integration - Lighting design - LED Lighting - Floor Heat - Electrical Service & Panel Upgrades - Phone/Data - Pool and Spa wiring - Smoke Detectors - Security Cameras - Generators - EV Chargers - And much more...

"Travis and his team do outstanding work! Brent, Nick and Aiden did the majority of the project. I can’t say enough about their professionalism, skills and timeliness. They are extremely hard working individuals who clearly take pride in the work they do for others. They put in a new panel and rewired our entire house built in 1902 -not an easy job- and added multiple ceiling lights, outlets and switches where none existed before. They were very clean, used drop cloths and repaired holes. There was minimal dust, so my mom could live in the house during the work- nothing like what other people described when they had similar work done by other companies. They answered questions and replaced switches quickly when we realized the original color we picked did not look right. They were respectful and timely and the entire process went quicker than we thought possible. Travis and Brent were available by phone/text if we had questions on days not working. Mom and I highly recommend hiring! "

"The gentleman who showed up was prompt and very courteous, but unfortunately that was the only positive thing I can say.He was here for 40 minutes, charged me 200 dollars and told me he couldnâ t fix it in my garage, because the oil was sludge and he may or may not be able to fix it, but he would have to take it back to the shop and it would cost me 80 dollars an hour to try to fix it.When I gave him a check for his time and asked for a receipt, he looked at me like I was asking for a kidney, and wrote something down on apiece of notebook paper, which was supposed to be a receipt.It was not an invoice with the company name or any reference to their business license.I later received an explanation from somebody in the office, that they would send me an invoice for the work done.I have never had any contractor not present a proper business receipt to me when I have given them a check, prior to this."

We regularly attend training and seminars to better ourselves and the services we offer. Please read our company history and strict "code of ethics" on our website, PaciorekElectric.com. While you're at PaciorekElectric.com, you will find various links, our company history & code of ethics, and a special customer "free" help page that will help answer some common questions.

"Arrived on time and overall did a great job, only thing was a small hole accidentally drilled into the floor by accident. The charger works great and wiring was done well."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You can determine what size generator you need by listing the various appliances it will power during an outage. Write down the start-up watt usage, and then add them all together. 

A 7,500-watt generator will run your refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits without a problem. However, you’ll need an extra 3,000 to 4,500 watts to run your water heater and another 5,000 to 25,000 watts to run your electric furnace. In these instances, a whole-home generator is your best bet for running your critical equipment.

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit
