"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.

"José has great communication, he came by within an hour on a Sunday! He was super knowledgeable, friendly and very reasonably priced. He fixed our electrical issue for the time being, also explained what needs to be done and upgraded to not have any more issues. He quoted us a great price. So glad to have met an honest and fair electrician."

"We had a serious issue apparently caused by a bad connection in our wiring. Lights were dimming, flickering and several appliances had failed. Dan came by on time the next day. ( I had contacted him around 4:00 PM the previous day). He investigated the problem thoroughly, and so far the issue has not returned. If it does, I will call him again. This type of problem sometimes is not a black and white issue, but he spent a good deal of time and checked everything. His charge was very reasonable considering the time he spent."

"We hired Chris to help prepare our kitchen for an electric range, which required a new high-voltage outlet connected to the electrical panel in the basement. He was responsive, clear, and gave a transparent estimate immediately. On the day of the job, he was punctual and thorough, and completed the task before the estimated timeframe with high quality work and clear explanations. He also fit in time to move an outlet for a dishwasher, which we had not previously know we would need, and kept the final total close to the original estimate including the new project. We would certainly use Chris again for electrician needs at our home, and appreciate his expertise."

"Darel completed the installation of a level 2 EV charger for the exact amount he quoted us in his initial visit. The work was done in a timely manner. I inspected his work and found it to be exceptionally neat and beautifully crafted. Moreover, he was creative in suggesting a more practical location for my charging station than what I originally thought of. Throughout our interactions, he was professional, courteous, and excellent at getting back to me with answers to questions."

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