TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES

COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL SCOPES

Heavy-duty equipment installations, diagnostics, and code modernizations across Cambridge.

SCOPE // 01

Knob-and-Tube Wiring Remediation

Many pre-1950 homes in Cambridge and Somerville still run on cloth-insulated knob-and-tube wiring that insurers now refuse to cover. We replace it with modern grounded copper circuits, section by section, minimizing damage to original plaster and trim.

SCOPE // 02

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

Heat pumps, EV chargers, and modern appliances overwhelm old 60A and 100A services, causing tripped breakers and flickering lights. We upgrade your service entrance, meter, and panel to a full 200 amps, coordinated and permitted end to end.

SCOPE // 03

Architectural Recessed Lighting

We design and install recessed lighting that flatters the room โ€” proper spacing, dimming zones, and beam spreads chosen for your ceilings. In older homes, we use slim-profile housings that fit shallow ceiling cavities without tearing out plaster.

SCOPE // 04

24/7 Emergency Electrical Repair

Burning smells, dead circuits, sparking outlets, or a partial power loss get an immediate response โ€” day, night, weekends, and holidays. We diagnose and stabilize the hazard first, then give you a flat written price for the permanent fix.
