Knob-and-Tube Wiring Remediation

We replace deteriorated cloth-insulated knob-and-tube wiring found in Medford and Cambridge's pre-1950 homes with modern grounded copper circuits — eliminating fire risk, restoring insurability, and bringing your property fully up to current Massachusetts electrical code.

Electrical Service Heavy-Ups (60A/100A to 200A)

Outgrown your dated 60- or 100-amp service? We upgrade your meter, service entrance, and panel to a full 200 amps — the capacity today's homes need for central AC, EV charging, heat pumps, and modern kitchens, coordinated cleanly with the utility.

Architectural Recessed & LED Lighting

From brightening a Somerville condo kitchen to accenting exposed beams in a Brookline colonial, we design and install recessed lighting layouts with precise placement, IC-rated housings for insulated ceilings, and dimming controls that flatter your space.

Emergency Electrical Repair & No-Power Restoration

Dead outlets, tripped main breakers, or a whole house with no power and no heat — we diagnose fast and restore service same-day, as one Watertown-area customer experienced when we had their power and heat back within hours of the call.
