Winchester sits just north of Medford, around the Mystic Lakes and the Aberjona River. Much of the town is larger single-family homes from the early and middle 1900s, many of which have been expanded with additions, finished basements and new kitchens.
Those projects are where we come in: wiring the addition, upgrading the panel that now has to carry it, and lighting the new space properly.
Additions and big renovations
A new wing, a kitchen with an induction range and double ovens, a finished basement with a media room: each adds circuits and load. We plan the panel, the circuits and the lighting with you and your contractor before the framing goes up.
Water and basements
Low areas along the Aberjona and the lakes can take on water in heavy storms. Keeping panels, sump pumps and their circuits high and dry matters, and water-damaged electrical equipment should be inspected and replaced before it is trusted again.
Backup power
For homes where an outage means a flooded basement or no heat, a properly installed generator with a transfer switch or interlock is worth the investment. We install and repair generators and the connections that go with them.
Permits
Winchester electrical permits are filed by the licensed electrician with the town’s wiring inspector, and the work is inspected. We take care of both.

We’re adding onto our Winchester house. When should we call an electrician?
Early, while the plans are still being drawn. The addition may need a bigger panel or service, and it is far cheaper to plan circuits and lighting before framing than to change them after.
We work directly with you or alongside your general contractor.
Is a whole-house generator worth it in Winchester?
It depends on how much you rely on power for heat, sump pumps, medical equipment or working from home, and how often your street loses power. A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch is the most convenient; a portable generator with an interlock is the budget option.
We can talk through both and install either safely.
Do you work near the Mystic Lakes and Wedgemere?
Yes, across Winchester, including the Center, Wedgemere, the neighborhoods around the Mystic Lakes and the west side. Winchester borders Medford, so we are close by.
