MacEwan Electric | Trusted Electrical Contractor in Boston, MA

Yes, this is a common issue in many of Boston's historic homes. Aging wiring systems can develop faults that cause arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) to trip for safety. Our electricians are experienced in diagnosing these problems, which often stem from deteriorating knob and tube wiring or compromised connections. We can safely inspect your system, identify the specific fault, and provide a lasting repair or upgrade, ensuring your home's electrical system is both safe and reliable.

An electrical panel installation or upgrade involves replacing your home's main service panel, which is the central hub for all your circuits. This is often needed to support modern appliances, improve safety with updated breakers, or accommodate home additions. Our process includes a thorough inspection, obtaining any necessary permits from the City of Boston, safely disconnecting and removing the old panel, installing the new panel with proper grounding, and testing all circuits. We ensure the job is done correctly to meet current electrical codes.
