"We were having a problem with our boiler. We needed quickly to eliminate grounding as a problem. We called Upwire and James had hid crew here on the next day! They did an extensive job and proved that our house and boiler were grounded. The crew were professional and we highly recommend Upwire for any electric problem."

"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"

"Steve comes highly recommended! He got back to me very quickly after I initiated a search for an electrician, and he arrived just two hours later! Steve is both friendly and professional and did a great job of installing a Nest thermostat and also showing me how my fuse box worked to get lights back on in my BR (which had gone off). He gave me an estimate before he came, and there were no additional charges or surprises. When I had a question later about the thermostat operation, he was helpful and took my call even though it was "after hours." Steve will be my go-to guy if I have another electrical issue!"

"Scott is excellent to work with in all aspects of electrical. I am a general contractor and Moses Electric has done all my electrical for the past 12yrs. I look to no one else. From the non working outlet or switch, to service upgrades, underground work, data, fire alarm panels, low voltage, new construction, remodeling, troubleshooting, all the way to 3 phase industrial and commercial work. Scott has been along side me for all aspects of the electrical work and never skipped a beat. I have full confidence to refer Moses Electric to my own clients, friends and family. Knowing when I pass his name along it will not come back to me with a negative effect. Always happy clients every time, in addition to being clean in all aspects of presentation and workmanship. I am not biased because I am in the trades. We rely on referrals and relationships to provide our living so there is no benefit to saying what isn't true. I highly recommend Scott and Moses Electric for any of your electrical needs. He makes the process easy and seamless."

"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."

"There aren't enough stars for CH Electric! Chris Hinchey is a consummate professional. Educated, licensed and insured Chris was punctual, reliable, kind, beyond knowledgeable and affordable. Chris will be my go to pro for any and all electrical issues. His quality customer service and abilities as an electrician set him apart from the others. We could not be happier with the work he did for us. We are so happy to have found him. You'll be doing yourself a disservice if you do not hire him. Amazing experience!"
This is during the rough construction phase of the project if you look closely you can see out wiring
This is the best look at the new 200amp Service installed at the property.  We were able to work with National Grid to insure the proper sized drop was installed free of cost, and that the point of attachment could be moved so not to interfere with the siding contractor

These are some of the exterior lights that were installed.  You can also see the weather head on the new service which was upgraded from 100amps to 200amps

Electrical questions, answered by experts

You can use a double-pole switch for a regular light fixture, but it's unnecessary and won’t be the most efficient choice. A single-pole switch works perfectly for standard lights. Double-pole handle high-power appliances that require both hot wires to be disconnected. Using a single-pole switch for regular lights is more cost-effective, simpler, and more common in residential settings.

Most household circuits can handle about 70 strings of 50 standard mini lights, or up to 600 strings of LED lights, which consume less power than the incandescent variety. Make sure to factor in any appliances also running on the circuit.

Yes, you can connect two extra outlets (or more) to one outlet if the total load on the circuit allows for it. If you have a 15-amp circuit, electrical code allows up to eight outlets or light switches. But if you’re dealing with outlets in the kitchen and bathroom, you may not be able to have as many. Kitchen and bathroom appliances often need higher amperage. You can also change a single outlet to a double outlet by cutting a larger hole in the drywall and replacing the outlet with a quad receptacle.

A gas stove doesn't always need a dedicated circuit. Unlike an electric range, which uses 240 volts and requires a 240-volt receptacle, a gas stove only uses 120 volts. In some cases, your electrician will need to replace the existing two-pole circuit breaker with a single-pole circuit breaker as well as swap out the existing 240-volt receptacle with a 120-volt replacement.

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.
