"I could not be more pleased with DiMasi Electric. We were having an issue with some outlets in our kitchen. The DiMasi team was super responsive from our initial inquiry through completion of the job. As soon as I explained the issue, they knew how to solve it, and when they arrived exactly on time a few days later, had it fixed in an hour. They were also very upfront about pricing and came in well below the estimate they provided us. DiMasi will be our first call the next time we need electrical help!"
Voted 'BEST OF THE BEST' in the greater Waltham area.

"I hired Dan to upgrade the electrical wiring of my son's recently purchased 1940's era house. His estimate of the work to be done was detailed and pricing for every line item was given. The house had knob and tube wiring in the attic, basement and walls. He removed that wiring and replaced the necessary circuits and switches. He also added wall plugs in 3 rooms, 3 wall switches to control overhead lights, added a bathroom fan, light, wall switch and vented it through the outside wall. He added two outside plugs, a 220V dryer outlet, and a generator panel with external plug. His workmanship was excellent and he did a very good job of cleaning after the work was done. He estimated the work would take two days, and he finished in the two days. His punctuality getting to the house was excellent and he answered all questions I had very thoroughly. He had identified a couple possible additional circuits and consulted with me before starting the work so I knew the cost. I was very satisfied with his professionalism, work and ability to talk about any issues that arose. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great electrician and will certainly hire him again! Great job, Dan! Thanks again!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Great experience. Professional and on time. Knows what he’s doing, and is very straightforward. The work involved running wires through walls and from the basement panel as well. He did minimal cutting of the walls. Super happy with the work done. Would definitely hire again."

"J accommodated me by giving me an appointment right away. I had the use of only half of my outlets following an electric outage in Brockton on 7/11. When J left all of my outlets were working. He followed up the next day when there was a slight problem with a two of the outlets after he left. I can say that all of the outlets are in good working order. J is a pleasant and patient electrician who arrived on time and explained the problems I was having as well as what needed to be done to fix the problem. I highly recommend J for any of your electrical problems."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Braintree, MA

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
