"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."

"New washer was causing circuit breakers to flip on my electrical panel. Mr. Handyman, who does my home repair and maintenance, referred me to McCurdy Electric emphasizing that they are the best in the business. Contacted McCurdy Electric and from that first phone call was in great hands. From Judy in the Office to Owner John who came out to meet and prepare estimate, professional and kind all the way. Logoed truck, always on time. Upgraded service to 100 AMP. Shebeeb and Brandon dug the trenches, ran the wires and quite honestly worked hard getting me back up with electricity before they left. McCurdy Electric even pulled the required permits and met with the City Inspector at my home. Just sat back with a book and let the professionals do their magic. Will not hesitate to contact them the next time I need electrical work done. Five Stars. --Charlene in West Peabody, MA"

"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!"
Voted 'BEST OF THE BEST' in the greater Waltham area.

"Jonathan was very patient, provided excellent service and did an exceptional job with our electrical upgrades and our entire home rewire (as it initially had Knob and Tube wiring). I'll be using him again and have referred him to other friends for their electrical needs."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Salem, overloading circuits with space heaters or portable air conditioners, especially during harsh seasons, can strain your electrical system. Skipping routine GFCI outlet testing or using extension cords instead of installing new outlets can also cause premature wear. Moisture from poor ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms, combined with coastal humidity, may corrode wiring and outlets, so regular checks and prompt repairs help extend your system’s lifespan.

Helpful?

For a smooth electrical project in Salem, coordinate early with local historic commissions if your home is in a protected district. Build in two to three weeks for permit approvals and arrange any necessary utility shutoffs ahead of time. Schedule work outside of Salem’s peak tourist season to improve contractor availability, and notify neighbors about possible power interruptions. Ordering specialty materials, especially for historic homes, can help prevent delays and keep your project moving efficiently.

Helpful?

In Salem, main electrical panels, kitchens, and bathrooms are common areas needing attention, especially in older or historic homes. GFCI outlets are often required in wet areas, while attics and basements may still have outdated knob-and-tube wiring. Exterior outlets and garage circuits are also vulnerable to coastal weather, making regular inspections and timely electrical panel upgrades essential for maintaining safety and reliable power throughout your home.

Helpful?

Completing electrical upgrades in Salem homes enhances comfort by supporting modern appliances, home offices, and electric vehicle charging. Replacing outdated wiring and adding dedicated circuits reduces fire risks and power interruptions, which is especially important in historic neighborhoods. Upgrading to LED lighting and installing GFCI outlets also boosts energy efficiency, helping you manage utility use during long Massachusetts winters and enjoy a safer, more reliable living space.

Helpful?

Combining electrical work with other home upgrades in Salem can help streamline your renovation process and reduce overall disruption. Coordinating projects like electrical panel upgrades with kitchen remodels or insulation improvements allows for shared permits and fewer inspection appointments. This approach is especially beneficial for historic homes, as it minimizes repeated wall openings and helps you avoid delays from Salem’s unpredictable winter weather, keeping your project on track.
