"I had an old light fixture removed that did not have a backbox & cover plate to house the wires correctly and a bedroom ceiling fan that mysteriously stopped working. I read a number of Angie's list reviews and felt that VMA Electric seemed like straight shooters, fully transparent and would be able to solve my issues efficiently. (I knew this job would be T&M rather than pre-quoted as it's impossible to say how long something like this would take). But Nancy in the office was wonderful to work with scheduling the work and she gave me the hourly rates ahead of time so I knew what I was going into. I was fortunate with my timing as they just had a cancellation - so they were onsite the very next morning. They solved both of my issues efficiently, cleaned up after themselves and made the whole process extremely wonderful. If you're reading this saying "I just need an electrician or two to come by and fix a couple of lingering items that I've had on my checklist for awhile" - you've found your company. The invoice/bill for the work was emailed to me the following day and it was exactly in line with expectations (a lot of reviewers are cautious about seeing an invoice after the fact). The pricing was exactly in line with the rates previously given and it was itemized with materials, etc. Anybody would be very happy with this group."

"Our project was a panel upgrade and generator install. From the first point of contact through point of completion Kevin's level of professionalism, customer service and follow through were beyond exceptional. He is very skilled and knowledgeable in the electrical field. He was able to answer all of our questions and we knew we made the right choice. Once the scope of work was determined and a date/time established he arrived on time and completed the work promptly and neatly. We are extremely pleased with Kevin's work. In fact we have other electrical projects planned in the near future and we will be reaching out to Kevin. For anyone searching for an electrician Kevin is the right person and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed."

"The technician, Hugo, found that my daughter had blown a bathroom fuse. He swapped out the fuse for one that was working and then offered to buy a couple of packs of replacements, to which I agreed. He also suggested that the garage panel be replaced and told me what the probable cost would be. I was grateful for the information and for the creativity with which he approached the problem."

"Because my furnace is old, I am expecting to replace it at any time. They came and told me all I need was a capacitor and got it fixed in less than 15 minutes. They can easily tell me that the motor is no good or it is time to get a new furnace and I would have gone for it. But these guys are very honest. The service fee to just show up is the cheapest I have found."
Three of the five heads are marked by the numbers in the blue circle. On the inside of the house is where you will find the mounted units. The slim ducts run alongside the white arrows and will eventually be covered to match the exterior of the house.
The slim ducts in the basement ceiling that connect from the branch box all the way to the 5 different heating and cooling units. These will be covered by the ceiling tiles once the job is finished.

"An excellent electrician. Prompt, well prepared, and efficient process. Did a great job of replacing our 65 year old fuse box with a new breaker box as well as wiring the stove and the dryer bringing everything up to code. I highly recommend Phil for an electrical work you might have!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Fitchburg, 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.
