Customers say: True professional

"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."

"Arete Electric did an outstanding job on my kitchen and basement after I experienced an under sink burst filter which occurred in the middle of the night… it was a flood. Tommy and his team were extremely reliable, skilled, flexible and simply a pleasure to deal with. A lot of work was needed due to differences in code from when my kitchen was built until now. They also were able to install undercabinet lighting at the counter level and floor level and cleverly hide electrical plugs so not to as interfere with the aesthetic of the kitchen . I highly recommend!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Salem homes built before 1975, or those with Colonial or Cape Cod layouts, often have tight crawl spaces or plaster walls, making wiring upgrades more challenging. Granite foundations, common in the area, can complicate grounding and conduit installation. Watch for persistent breaker trips, flickering lights, or two-prong outlets—these signs suggest your home’s age or structure could require creative solutions for electrical updates.

Helpful?

When hiring electrical contractors in Salem, prioritize those with proven experience in local homes and a strong reputation. Ask for references from recent Salem projects and confirm they’re familiar with the area’s building codes and weather-related challenges. For specialized projects like solar or generator installation, choose a contractor who understands the unique requirements of Salem properties. Always compare detailed quotes and ask about available warranties.

Helpful?

In Salem, electrical contractors typically focus on residential, commercial, or industrial projects. Residential contractors handle home wiring, panel upgrades, and lighting installations. Commercial specialists work on office buildings and retail spaces, while industrial experts manage factories and large equipment. Many local pros also offer emergency repairs, solar panel installation, generator setup, and smart home system integration to meet the evolving needs of Salem homeowners.

Helpful?

Before starting electrical work in Salem, review your project’s scope and confirm if permits or inspections are needed for your specific neighborhood. Plan for possible weather delays, especially during stormy seasons. Always contact Dig Safe before any digging to protect underground lines. If your home is older or in a historic area, anticipate extra steps for compliance and coordinate with local utilities early to prevent project setbacks.

Helpful?

In Salem, warning signs that electrical work may need redone include exposed or spliced wiring, circuits that frequently overload, and missing GFCI outlets in kitchens or bathrooms. Look for outdated panels, aluminum wiring with visible corrosion, or evidence of moisture near electrical components, especially after storms. These issues can signal unsafe or non-compliant work that should be corrected by a qualified electrical contractor.
