Question Answers
My Boston home has very old wiring. Are you experienced with historic electrical systems?
Absolutely. My training began specifically on Boston's aging wiring, some dating back a century. I have extensive experience diagnosing and safely updating old knob-and-tube systems, repairing faulty connections in historic homes, and bringing them up to modern safety standards without compromising their character. I understand the common issues in Boston's older neighborhoods and how to resolve them properly.
What's involved in an electric panel upgrade or repair for my home?
An upgrade or repair typically starts with a thorough inspection of your current panel and home's electrical demand. We assess if your system is overloaded, has outdated breakers, or lacks capacity for modern appliances. For Boston homes, this is often needed when adding central air, a kitchen renovation, or an EV charger. I handle everything from the permit process to the installation, ensuring your panel is safe, up to code, and meets your household's needs.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency service for things like a lost power or a sparking outlet?
Yes, I provide 24-hour on-call emergency services for urgent situations like complete power loss, burning smells, sparking outlets, or faulty circuit breakers. These issues can be safety hazards, especially in older homes. I prioritize getting to you quickly to diagnose the problem, make immediate repairs if needed to secure your home, and provide a clear explanation of the cause and any recommended follow-up work.
