Why Hire a Local Licensed Electrician?

Any job that needs a permit has to pass your town’s inspection, so it helps to hire someone who knows that process. Billy Riley was born and raised in Central Massachusetts and has been in the trade since 2013. He and his team have completed over 2.5k projects and counting.

Billy holds MA Electrician License #57377-B. We pull a permit for every job that needs one, follow the Massachusetts Electrical Code and local regulations, and call in the town’s inspector when the work is done. On panel jobs, we also coordinate with your utility, whether that’s National Grid, Eversource, or a town-run utility.

You’re covered, too. We’re licensed and insured, with general liability on every job, and can send a certificate of insurance whenever you ask. Every free estimate is written and itemized, so you can review and approve it before we start (we don’t provide free estimates for our 24/7 emergency calls). Call or text (774) 261-3924 to request a free written estimate.

Service Area FAQ

What should I check before I hire an electrician?

Start with the license. Ask for the electrician’s license number, which Massachusetts issues through the Board of State Examiners of Electricians. Next, ask for a certificate of insurance showing general liability coverage, and make sure it’s current. Get a written, itemized estimate before any work starts so you can see what you’re paying for. Finally, read what past customers say on Google, and compare a few electricians before you decide.

We take on jobs in homes and small businesses. On the business side, we focus on small outfits such as storefronts, restaurants, and rentals. In homes, we offer repairs, panel upgrades, EV chargers, lighting, and emergency calls.

The Massachusetts Electrical Code puts the permit in the hands of the electrician who does the job. That electrician files it with the town’s inspector of wires and lets the inspector know once the work is finished. Here in Worcester, the city issues the electrical permit and inspects the work.
