  • How can I tell if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?

    Indicators that your electrical panel may need an upgrade include: • Lights flicker or dim when appliances are in use. • Circuit breakers that frequently trip. • Outlets that feel warm to the touch. • Reliance on multiple power strips or extension cords. • Increased electrical demands in your home (e.g., new appliances, EV charger, modern equipment). • An older panel that still uses fuses instead of circuit breakers.

  • What is a GFCI outlet, and do I need one?

    A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet is designed to help prevent electric shock by quickly cutting off power if it detects a potentially dangerous ground fault. The National Electrical Code requires GFCIs in areas where water is present, including kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, and outdoor locations. If these outlets are not installed in such areas, it’s recommended to add them for safety.
  • Are you local?

    Yes, we are based in Rutland, MA, and provide services throughout Worcester County and Central Massachusetts. We are fully licensed electricians in Massachusetts.
  • Do you provide free estimates?

    We do our best to assess your issues over the phone to give an estimated price. For more complex or larger projects, we provide free in-person estimates. Call us to schedule your complimentary consultative estimate.
