Electrical Company Boston MA | Call Marcus Lagares Electrician

Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs), common in modern Boston homes, are sensitive safety devices that trip when they detect dangerous electrical arcs. Frequent trips often point to wiring issues, like loose connections in outlets or switches, or damaged wires behind walls—common in older homes. As an experienced local electrician, I can diagnose the specific cause, safely repair the faulty wiring or connection, and ensure your system meets current safety codes without unnecessary nuisance trips.

Absolutely. Installing an EV charger often requires an assessment of your home's electrical capacity, particularly your main electric panel. Many older Boston homes need a panel upgrade or a dedicated circuit to handle the new load safely. I provide a full evaluation, handle any necessary panel work or wiring, and install the charging station to local code, ensuring a safe, efficient setup that integrates seamlessly with your home's electrical system.

An outdated panel can be a safety hazard and limit your home's power. The process starts with a thorough inspection to assess your current and future electrical needs. For a repair, I'll fix any faulty breakers or connections. If a replacement is needed, I'll install a new, properly sized panel with modern safety features, update the service entrance if required, and ensure all circuits are correctly labeled. This upgrade enhances safety, prevents overloads, and provides capacity for modern appliances and devices.
