"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!"

"Matt and his team did an excellent job upgrading our electrical panel. He coordinated the work with National Grid, relocated the panel, labeled the circuits and tested all the work. I would highly recommend Dever Electric."

"Ron and Corey were incredible to work with. I had an urgent issue involving the electricity to a water heater in one of my rental properties. They were extremely responsive, accommodating, and respectful of my tenants. They appreciated the urgency of my situation and went above and beyond to resolve my issue. I would absolutely recommend them and will be saving their contact information for future jobs."

"I had multiple electrical jobs that needed to be done in an older house. I'm used to having work done by contractors and he was by far the best experience I've had. He was able to take on all three jobs that I needed done. His work is excellent. He was prompt, courteous and let me know everything that needed to be done. He upgraded the electrical service in the house, installed new circuits and electrical outlets, repaired some old wiring issues, and replaced all the track lighting with recessed units. I would say he went above and beyond with what needed to get done. I absolutely recommend Brandon for any electrical work you need done. I will certainly use him for any future projects that I need done."

"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 Somerville, signs that electrical work may need updating include non-GFCI outlets in kitchens or bathrooms, ungrounded or two-prong outlets, and outdated 60-100 amp electrical panels. Watch for knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, flickering lights, overloaded circuits, or warm outlets. Reliance on extension cords and unlabeled circuit breakers also signal the need for a professional inspection, especially in multi-family or older homes.

Helpful?

In Somerville, electrical work can impact other systems, especially in older homes where wiring may be integrated with plumbing or HVAC. For example, grounding might use metal pipes, and electrical panel upgrades could affect shared walls or structural supports. Before starting, check if your project involves shared circuits, older knob-and-tube wiring, or interconnected heating systems to avoid unexpected complications and ensure safe electrical panel upgrades.

Helpful?

In Somerville, homeowners are prioritizing smart home upgrades like programmable lighting, smart thermostats, and USB-integrated outlets. Energy efficiency is also a top trend, with LED fixtures, EV charging stations, and solar-ready electrical panels becoming common. Multi-family homes often add dedicated circuit breakers and subpanels, while kitchen and bath remodels focus on under-cabinet lighting and discreet exhaust fan controls to maximize space.

Helpful?

Somerville’s weather can affect electrical projects in several ways. Winter’s frozen ground and ice may delay outdoor wiring or electrical panel upgrades, while summer storms increase the need for surge protection. Humidity in basements can impact wiring longevity, and salt air near the Mystic River may corrode outdoor outlets. Planning projects around seasonal changes helps ensure electrical systems remain reliable and safe year-round.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Somerville, keep a non-contact voltage tester, wire strippers, circuit breaker finder, GFCI tester, and a multimeter available. Stock up on 15A and 20A circuit breakers, GFCI outlets, wire connectors, and both 12 and 14 gauge wire. Weather-resistant boxes and outdoor-rated extension cords are useful for New England storms, while older homes may require supplies compatible with knob-and-tube wiring.
