Most people assume that replacing an outlet or adding a circuit is a handyman job. It is not. The moment wiring is opened, a breaker is touched, or a new circuit is pulled from a panel, the work falls under electrical code, and code-compliant wiring on every job is the standard that keeps a home or building insurable and safe. That is as true for a rental unit in a three-decker as it is for a commercial space. Residential and commercial electrical work throughout Everett is covered, from a single outlet to a full panel upgrade.
Everett is a city with a dense mix of housing types: multi-family buildings, older single-family homes, and commercial properties that have changed hands and uses more than once. The electrical systems inside them reflect that history. Knob-and-tube wiring, undersized panels, ungrounded outlets, and circuits that were added without documentation are all common findings. We handle the full range of electrical repair and installation work this city generates, from a single outlet that stopped working to a whole-building rewiring project.
Electrical quotes move for a reason, and understanding what drives them makes the process easier. When you call, we scope the job on the phone. You describe what is happening, we ask what we need to understand the situation, and we give you a rate before anything is scheduled. That is the price for the work as described.
Three things most often shift the scope once a visit is underway. The first is what the fault turns out to be. A dead outlet can trace back to a bad device, a failed GFCI upstream, a loose connection, or a wiring fault in the wall. Each of those is a different amount of work. The second is what has to be opened up to reach it. A circuit buried in a finished wall takes more time than one accessible from a basement. The third is whether the existing panel can carry the change. An EV charger or a hot tub often means checking the panel first, because adding a high-draw circuit to a panel already running at capacity changes the scope of the job before the new circuit is even started.

Describe what is going on, what you have noticed, and where in the building it is happening. We ask the questions that let us scope it accurately, and we give you the rate on the call. If anything changes once we are on site, we explain why and confirm the updated price before we proceed. Nothing moves forward without your sign-off.
The jobs below come up regularly across this city. Each one starts with a situation, not a catalog entry.
An older panel that trips under normal load, has no room for additional breakers, or carries a make and model that insurers flag is not a panel to work around. We replace panels, upgrade service from 100 to 200 amps where the load demands it, and handle the load calculations that determine what the building actually needs. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers are part of how a replaced panel meets current code, and we address grounding and bonding as part of every panel job.
A detached garage or a finished basement workshop needs its own subpanel when the circuits required exceed what a single breaker in the main panel can cleanly support. We run the feeder from the main panel, install the subpanel, and wire the circuits to the load. This is also the right approach when a garage conversion or an outbuilding addition is being wired from scratch.
An outdoor outlet that lacks a proper weatherproof cover and enclosure is a code issue and a safety one. In a city with multi-family properties and commercial buildings, outdoor outlets serve real working purposes: equipment, lighting, EV charging, and exterior maintenance. We install weatherproof outlets and enclosures rated for the exposure, run conduit where the installation requires it, and tie the circuit back to a panel that can carry it.
Low-voltage work covers more than it used to. Video doorbells, structured data cabling, and intercom systems all need proper rough-in to function cleanly. In older buildings, that often means running new wiring where none exists. We handle the rough-in so the devices have what they need to work correctly, without the improvised runs that cause problems later.
In Everett's housing stock, panels turn up in a range of locations depending on the age and type of the building. In older single-family homes, the panel is often in the basement. In multi-family buildings, there may be a main disconnect at the building's service entrance and individual unit panels inside each apartment. Commercial spaces sometimes have panels in utility closets, storage rooms, or mechanical spaces that need to be cleared before work can start.
Access matters. A clear path to the panel, and to the area where the work is happening, is the single thing that most affects how quickly a visit goes. If there is furniture in front of the panel, stored items blocking a basement stairway, or a tenant who needs to be notified before we enter, knowing that ahead of time lets us plan the visit correctly. When you call to schedule, we ask those questions so the electrician arrives with the right scope and the right preparation.
We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, which means nothing in the panel or behind a wall is touched without your understanding of what is being done and why.
Scheduling starts on the phone. We are available every day from 8 AM to 11 PM. When you call, we scope the job, confirm the price, and set the visit. For problems that will not keep, we take short-notice work and treat urgent calls accordingly. Ask what the schedule allows when you call.
Rental properties and commercial spaces have their own scheduling constraints. A tenant who cannot be without power during work hours, a business that has to stay open through a repair, or a landlord who needs to coordinate access across multiple units are all situations we work around. Tell us the constraint when you book and we plan the visit to fit it. Electrical service scheduled without the runaround is the standard every call is held to.
Not every electrical job requires a full shutdown. Whether the power stays on, goes off for one circuit, or needs to be off for the whole building depends on the work being done and where it connects to the panel.
A single outlet replacement or a ceiling fixture swap typically means isolating one circuit. A panel replacement or a service upgrade requires a full shutdown for the duration of the work. When the scope is confirmed on the call, we explain exactly what will be off and for how long, so you can plan around it. For a home office that cannot go dark mid-morning or a retail space that trades through the day, that planning conversation happens before anything is scheduled. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave, and the power comes back on with the work confirmed and tested.
Surge protection at the panel level is one job that requires no extended outage at all. A whole-home surge protector installs at the panel and covers every circuit in the building from voltage spikes coming through the utility line. It is one of the more straightforward upgrades available, and it protects equipment that plug-in strips cannot reach.
Everett sits in the middle of a dense stretch of Middlesex County, and the surrounding cities are part of the same service area. We take calls from Chelsea, Malden, Somerville, Medford, and Revere, along with Everett itself.
The housing across this part of the county shares a lot of the same history: multi-family buildings, older single-family homes, and commercial stock that has been modified more than once. Knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum-wiring remediation, electrical safety inspections, and panel upgrades are all common across the area, not just in one city. If your property is nearby and you are not sure whether we cover your address, ask when you call. Each service is described in more depth on our list of electrical services.
It does, and it is worth mentioning when you call. Multi-unit buildings may have a main disconnect at the service entrance and separate panels for each unit, which affects both how the job is scoped and how the power is managed during the visit. Knowing the layout ahead of time lets us plan the work so the impact on other tenants is as limited as possible.
Multi-family buildings in this city frequently have panels that were sized for fewer units than they now serve, circuits shared across units without documentation, and wiring that has been added to over decades without a clear record. Ungrounded outlets, missing GFCI protection, and undersized service entrances are common findings. A safety inspection gives a clear picture of where things stand, and we scope one on the call the same way we scope any other job.
We discuss the situation on the call and reschedule for conditions that allow the work to be done properly. Some outdoor work can proceed in light rain with the right precautions, but work involving open connections or trenching in saturated ground is better rescheduled.
In most cases, a cable run to a detached outbuilding is buried in conduit. The depth and method depend on the applicable code requirements for the location. We confirm what is required when the job is scoped.
If the wiring is old, the panel is full, or something stopped working and you are not sure why, that is the call to make.

The electrical work a home or building needs covers a wide range, and the right starting point is knowing what a job actually involves before anything is scheduled. We take calls from Everett and the surrounding Middlesex County area every day from 8 AM to 11 PM. The table below lays out the services we handle, what each one covers, and what is worth knowing before you call.
| Service Type | Scope of Work | Common Situations | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Panel UpgradesMost Popular | 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades, Panel replacement and subpanel installation, Load calculation and service-entrance work, Breaker slot expansion for added circuits | Homes adding an EV charger, major appliance, or finished space that the existing panel cannot support | Older 100-amp services were not sized for today's loads. A load calculation is part of how we confirm the right panel size before any work is scoped. |
| Knob-and-Tube and Aluminum Rewiring | Knob-and-tube assessment and replacement, Aluminum branch wiring evaluation, Phased or full rewiring, Code-compliant grounding added throughout | Pre-1970s homes where original wiring is still in service or flagged by an insurer | Knob-and-tube has no ground wire and no capacity for modern protection devices. Aluminum wiring poses connection risks at device terminals. We assess what is in place and explain the options before any work begins. |
| Wiring and Circuit Installation | Whole-home and partial rewiring, Kitchen, bath, and remodel wiring, Finished basement and addition circuits, Garage and workshop wiring | Renovation projects and homes where the existing wiring cannot support current or planned loads | Walls in pre-war Everett homes often contain wiring that does not match the panel schedule. We assess what is there before scoping the work. |
