Medium size Electrical Company based out of Metrowest Area. Currently have 9 licensed employees. Always free estimates. All pricing is based on specific work.

"What I love about VMA is that you can get Residential electrical work quoted 2 ways: Time/Material (emergencies), or they can send a man out and quote the job. You may also take detailed pics, send it in and they can quote it that way. My old electrician they did everything old school w calling, & didn't even like emailing, but not VMA who texts, calls, and emails. 2 professional, Journeymen Electricians did 3 separate days of work last month at my house, from the VMA Residential/Service division. They replaced/installed 7 exterior lights, replaced 2 exterior outlet fixtures with Arlington housed outlet boxes, installed one new Arlington, extended light fixture wiring and 2 doorbell wires, and exchanged a transformer for a larger one, to handle the video loads from Nest and Arlo doorbell cameras. I purchased all the fixtures, & doorbell cams. They supplied the Arlington boxes. The 2 electricians were very efficient, quiet, fast and clean. They made sure fixtures were leveled, and working. One of the 4 glass sides of the exterior light fixture broke cleanly and they honestly brought it to my attention, vs just burrowing it. I just double taped it w clear packing tape, and he put the glass in the rear of the fixture so it wouldn't be seen. I didn't want that to hold up the light install, and will deal w the Amazon merchant I bought light fixtures from afterwards. I had a lot of other construction going on, and the 2 electricians were able to do a lot in the timeframe they had despite all the other noise/work/men around. They fixed cut outlet wires from a bedroom new window installation, moved an outlet 3" to accommodate a stud inserted to shore up the new window. The cut wires were a surprise, and to get the city's Wiring Inspection approved, Cindy the Svc Manager, was very helpful in getting the electricians here stat, & the Building Inspector also stat, who had a 3 wk backlog. I had VMA Electric quote me for a porch and their pricing was much better vs another electrical competitor in Marlborough. The guys are Journeymen level, so aren't outrageously priced like Master Electricians, in the same town, who I had been using. When the Residential side has a lot of work, they can smtms pull guys from the much larger Construction Division. In all, VMA had to come out 3 times, bec the work was staged in between inspections. I love their work and do not hesitate to highly recommend. Just know electricians are expensive, and it cost $2,300 total, up front for all that work. Had I used the Master electricians the bill would've likely been double, as found out they were double/triple charging me the town's Permit fees in addition to double all the same work VMA does."

"With the latest job John and his team completed for us, I am now able to say that for the better part of two decades, the electrical work needs of four generations of my family have been completed by 4th Generation Electric. As John and I were catching up before the install of our transfer switch and generator hook up, he recalled when we first met almost 20 years ago. From that time forward, he and his teams have completed work for my family that spanned from outlet installation and replacement, wiring our full new build construction home, inclusive of aiding with the installation of the power line from the street (which was 700 feet away from the house), outside patio electrical work for an elaborate tiered landscape, generator hook up requirements, among other things. Just as our electrical needs grew over time, and John and 4th Generation Electric have as well, the same level of attention to detail, focus on customer satisfaction, and not only the desire to strive for perfection but the expectation to do so, has been the standard that he knows not only his customers expect but that he expects for himself and his teams. It’s easy to write a review like this when it writes itself. If you have any sort of electrical work needs, big or small, you’d be doing yourself a disservice not asking John for a quote."

Heritage Home Service is proud to serve residents from Massachusetts. We are the area’s premier home services provider and for 35+ years, we’ve brought the Heritage touch to homes throughout the state.

"I was told that the fee to simply come into my house to assess my furnace (that was not working) would be $260 on a Wednesday afternoon... and I was told this fee would not be absorbed into the work if I chose to have it done. If this company charges such an exorbitant assessment fee, I could only believe they would inflate other fees as well. I hired another local company for half that fee to assess then repair my furnace. Shame on Heritage Home Service."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

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.

Generators are usually sized by running watts and starting watts. Ideally, you’ll want a generator that can offer both the necessary running watts and starting watts for everything you need to power without going beyond 90% of its capacity. Calculate your home’s electrical load based on the breakers in your home or adding up the appliance and lighting needs of connected rooms.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

Many services include assembling the unit and securing it in the window. Confirm with your provider.
