Q: Do you work in older Boston homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring?

Yes. Boston has some of the oldest housing stock in the country. In the triple-deckers of Dorchester and Jamaica Plain we still find 60A fuse panels, knob-and-tube in the attic, and shared services that were never designed for three modern kitchens. Downtown and in the Seaport it is the opposite problem: newer buildings where the work is adding capacity, dedicated circuits, and tenant fit-out. We rewire carefully, with minimal drywall damage, and document everything for your insurance company.

Our name says Boston because that is where we work. Boston Light & Power runs jobs across the city every week, from Dorchester three-deckers and South Boston condo conversions to storefronts and office fit-outs downtown. We know the permitting, the parking, and the century-old wiring behind the walls.

What we know about wiring in Boston.

Boston has some of the oldest housing stock in the country. In the triple-deckers of Dorchester and Jamaica Plain we still find 60A fuse panels, knob-and-tube in the attic, and shared services that were never designed for three modern kitchens. Downtown and in the Seaport it is the opposite problem: newer buildings where the work is adding capacity, dedicated circuits, and tenant fit-out.

Most-requested in Boston: 100A to 200A service upgrades, fuse-to-breaker panel conversions, Level 2 EV charger installs in condo and shared garages, knob-and-tube remediation for insurance, and after-hours emergency calls.

Built for Boston housing.

Older Boston homes come with their own electrical realities: undersized services, outdated panels, and wiring that predates modern demand. Newer construction has different needs, like capacity for EV charging and smart-home loads. The wiring in a Dorchester triple-decker, a Back Bay brownstone, and a new South Boston condo are three different worlds, and each needs an electrician who has seen it before. We have worked across the whole range and tailor the work to the home in front of us rather than applying a one-size approach.

Residential and commercial.

We work on both. For homeowners, that means safe, code-compliant upgrades that clear the way for EVs, heat pumps, and additions. For businesses, it means reliable electrical work that keeps your space running and passes inspection the first time. Boston has a lot of both, and we are equipped for the mix.

What to expect when you call.

We set a clear appointment window and show up in it. We diagnose before we fix, explain what we find in plain terms, and give you the price before we start. When the work is done, the site is clean and you know exactly what was done and why. For emergencies, we respond around the clock across the city and the South Shore.

Common Boston electrical projects.

Across the city we see the same needs come up again and again: older services that cannot support a modern kitchen or an EV, panels that are full or unsafe, two-prong outlets that need grounding, and additions that need their own circuits. Whatever the project, we scope it clearly, price it up front, and do it to code so it passes inspection and lasts. There is no job too small to do carefully or too large to do safely.

Common questions about electrical work in Boston.

Do you handle both homes and businesses in Boston?

Yes. We do residential and commercial electrical work throughout Boston and the surrounding towns.

Commercial electrical work in Boston.

We also handle commercial jobs across the city: restaurant and retail fit-outs, office lighting and circuit work, landlord and property-manager service calls, and code corrections flagged at inspection. Written quotes, permits pulled, and scheduling that works around your hours instead of shutting you down.
