How Billy Riley Started William F. Riley Electrician Inc.

Billy started in the electrical trade in 2013. Eight years later, in 2021, he opened W. F. Riley Electrician in Worcester, MA. Today, he works for homeowners and small businesses in 26 towns.

A Family-Owned Business With Local Roots

W. F. Riley Electrician Inc. is a local, family-owned and operated company. When you book a job with us, it starts with a free, itemized written estimate, so you see the full price before any work begins. When we set a day and time with you, we arrive on time.

Who Comes to Your Home

Billy, a licensed electrician, comes to your home and does the work. His apprentice works alongside him, and trusted subcontractors join them when a job needs more hands.

How We Handle Your Electrical Work

Every estimate we give for planned work is free, written, and itemized. We don’t require a deposit for a quote. Free estimates don’t apply to emergency calls. Once you approve the estimate, most jobs start within 1-2 weeks.

We pull a permit for every job that needs one, and everything we install follows the Massachusetts Electrical Code and local regulations. We file the permit with the town, call the inspector when the work is done, and leave the wiring open until it’s been checked. On panel jobs, we coordinate with your utility company, such as National Grid or Eversource. In five of the 26 towns we serve, the power is town-run, and there we work with the town’s own utility.

Payment comes after the job is finished, by cash, check, Venmo, or invoice. Every job includes our 1-year workmanship warranty, and we pass on any manufacturer warranties. We follow the same process for panel upgrades, wiring upgrades, and our other electrical work for homes and small business customers. Tell us what you need, and we’ll give you a free estimate for the job.

Professional Electrical Services for Homes

In homes, we upgrade panels, add sub-panels, install EV chargers, and hook up generators with transfer switches. We also handle lighting, ceiling fans, outlets and switches, smart home wiring, the electrical hookups for ductless mini-splits, and smoke detector replacement and hardwired updates. Rewiring jobs include knob-and-tube replacement and aluminum wiring repair or conversion to copper. For electrical problems, we find the cause before we repair it, and we take emergency calls 24/7.

Small Commercial Electrical Work

Our small commercial work is for small outfits such as storefronts, restaurants, and rentals. We do light retrofits, handle electrical work in small-business renovations, and install dedicated circuits.

How Long a Typical Job Takes

A panel upgrade usually takes 1 day.

Installing an EV charger takes 3-5 hours.

Lighting work takes 1-2 days for each room.

A rewire takes 1-3 weeks, and when it’s finished, we give you a letter documenting it for your insurance company.
