"Mike was professional from the start. He responded to my question effectively and I decided to hire him to install a bathroom fan that also needed to be invented outside my house. He showed up at my house at the time we designated and kept me updated with texts and photos as he proceeded with the work. Couldn’t be happier. "

"Before installing a mini-split, the sales person told me that I'd need to cut down an interior shelf to a specific height. I paid a handyman $400 to do exactly what the sales person instructed. Later on, N.E.T.R. came and did the installation; however, AFTER the installation, a technician told me that they hadn't accounted for the vent opening and closing and that the shelf would need to be further cut down. As you can imagine, this type of service is rather ridiculous. If they knew that the shelf would need further cutting, they should have NOT installed the unit. I have called N.E.T.R. six (6) times in three weeks, and no one has called me back about this issue. After paying for the unit and for a handyman, it's ridiculous that I have AC that is compromised because no one with the company thought to properly measure the space so that the work by the handyman could be done once. At this point, I'd like for N.E.T.R. to take care of this for me."

"John is such a great guy to work with: responsive, punctual, honest and patient. I have worked with many contractors over the years and John is the only one that actually deserve all these four words. My project (installing Tesla wall charger) was not a big one but John took the time to stop by before the installation day to check on the charger I bought and made sure everything was fine. Some other electrician has suggested using #6 Romex wire for the 60 amp charger but John went with #6 metal clad wire which is harder to work with but better for heat dissipation. The site for the charger is on a concrete block wall and John went extra miles to make sure the charger was attached to the concrete nice and strong. For such a beautiful job, John's price is very reasonable. "

"My recommendation is to make sure you realize if they drill holes in walls its your responsibility to have it fixed. My mistake lead to a miscommunication with Jim, but he resolved the issue."

"We hired PW DiMasi to install receded lighting in an upstairs office and could not be happier with the results. Peter, the owner, was prompt in scheduling a time to provide a project estimate and quoted us a fair price. He also showed up on the day of the project to introduce the two electricians that would be doing the work. The team was courteous, professional, and did a great job installing the lights. They also were careful to cover the room with tarps to minimize dust and cleaned up the workspace afterwards. If we have a future need for an electrician, PW DiMasi will be our first call."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Allston, MA

To select and hire an electrician for your light switch installation, start by evaluating candidates as you would for any skilled position. Ask detailed questions, request a written quote, and verify their licensing credentials. This careful screening prevents unexpected fees and ensures every aspect of the installation, including any drywall repairs, complies with code.

A light switch can malfunction due to compromised wiring or overheating conditions. Faulty connections and excess heat diminish the switch’s performance. If you hear crackling, popping, or hissing sounds when toggling the switch, this indicates active electrical faults that pose a safety hazard and demand immediate professional inspection. Prompt attention prevents further damage and ensures reliable operation.

Installing a light switch takes 30 minutes or less, on average. The installation time depends on the switch type, with dimmer switches requiring additional time compared to standard on-off switches. While the hardware replacement might be completed in 15 minutes, it's essential to adhere to safety protocols, like turning off the circuit breaker and verifying there's no power, for a safe and code-compliant installation.
