"Called Paul to consult on a quick charger for an electric vehicle as well as to replace several outdoor outlets at my home. He went above and beyond to plot out the best and cheapest path from our electrical panel to the driveway in our renovated and added onto â 50â s ranch. The work he did I was quick and quality. We have plans to have him back for more in the spring. Highly recommend!"

"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!"

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."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

For electrical work in Reading, select materials rated for New England’s climate, such as THWN-2 wire for outdoor wiring and direct burial cable for underground installations. Use weather-resistant electrical boxes and corrosion-resistant fixtures for exterior projects. Ensure all panels and circuit breakers meet current code requirements. Incorporating GFCI and AFCI protection, as well as energy-efficient LED lighting, can help maximize safety and take advantage of local energy incentives.

Helpful?

In Reading, unexpected costs may arise from permit and inspection requirements, especially if multiple inspections are needed. Older homes often reveal outdated wiring or the need for knob-and-tube removal, which can complicate projects. Upgrading electrical panels or restoring finished spaces like basements after work may add to expenses. Weather delays and fluctuating material costs are also common, so allow flexibility in your project plan.

Helpful?

Completing electrical projects in Reading offers immediate safety upgrades, improved code compliance, and enhanced energy efficiency—especially valuable in older homes. Over time, these improvements can support higher property value, easier future electrical panel upgrades, and readiness for smart home technology. Investing in updated wiring and modern fixtures also positions your home for evolving energy needs, such as EV charging or solar integration, supporting long-term sustainability.

Helpful?

When reviewing quotes in Reading, be wary of professionals who sidestep discussions about required permits or suggest bypassing inspections. Unusually low estimates, vague timelines, or reluctance to provide written contracts are also warning signs. If a contractor lacks familiarity with local electrical code or won’t share references from Reading projects, proceed with caution. Clear, documented communication and transparency about the process help ensure a safe, compliant project.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Reading should account for New England’s fluctuating weather, which makes weatherproof outdoor wiring and backup power solutions important. Coordination with the local utility may be necessary for service upgrades or rebate eligibility. If your property is in a historic district or governed by an HOA, check for additional restrictions. Seasonal demand for electricians can affect scheduling, so plan ahead for timely project completion.
