Licensed Electrician in North Waltham, MA | Peter Vitale Electric

Absolutely. Older wiring systems in our area are a common source of short circuits and can be a safety concern. We start with a thorough electrical inspection to identify the root cause, which is often outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or damaged insulation. Our licensed technicians are experienced with the specific challenges of historic New England homes. We provide clear solutions, which may include targeted wire repair, circuit breaker panel upgrades, or rewiring sections of the home to ensure safety and reliability for your family.

Yes, electrical service panel upgrades are one of our core services. Many older homes in Massachusetts have 100-amp panels that can't support modern appliances, home offices, or EV chargers. We can upgrade your panel to a safer, more powerful 200-amp service. This process, handled by our licensed master electricians, improves your home's electrical capacity, enhances safety by meeting current codes, and is often a necessary step before major renovations or adding central air conditioning.

Installing a home EV charging station typically involves a site assessment to determine the best location, ensuring your electrical panel has the capacity to support the new circuit (an upgrade may be needed), running the proper wiring, and installing the charging unit itself. As a licensed electrical contractor, we handle the entire process from permitting to final inspection, ensuring a safe, code-compliant installation. This service is a natural extension of our expertise in panel upgrades and new circuit installations.
