You flip a switch and the lights come on. Your panel isn’t humming or warm to the touch. Your generator kicks in when the power goes out—which happens more than it should in Rhode Island, especially when storms roll through and trees come down.
That’s what working electrical looks like. No flickering. No tripped breakers every other day. No wondering if something’s about to go wrong.
When your system’s been checked by someone who knows Rhode Island’s electrical code inside and out, you’re not dealing with surprise failures or safety risks. You’re also not overpaying on your electric bill because outdated wiring or inefficient lighting is bleeding energy. With rates in Rhode Island sitting around 28 cents per kilowatt-hour, that adds up fast.
You get a system that handles what you’re asking it to do—whether that’s running a home office, keeping your business operational, or making sure your family has backup power when the grid goes down.
We’ve been handling electrical work in Coventry, RI for over 30 years. We’ve completed more than 1,500 commercial projects and countless residential jobs across the state—everything from panel upgrades in older homes to full electrical buildouts for local businesses.
Every electrician on our team is a licensed Master Electrician. We’re members of the Rhode Island Electrical Inspectors IAEI Roger Williams Chapter and fully compliant with NFPA’s Certification Code of Ethics. That’s not marketing talk—it’s required to do this work legally and safely in Rhode Island.
Coventry homeowners deal with aging electrical systems that weren’t built for today’s loads. Businesses here need reliable power and code-compliant installations. We handle both, and we’ve been doing it long enough to know what works and what doesn’t in this area.
You reach out—phone or online—and tell us what’s going on. We ask a few questions to understand the scope, then schedule a time that works for you.
When we show up, we assess the situation. If it’s an upgrade, we walk you through what’s involved, what the code requires, and what your options are. If it’s a repair, we diagnose the issue, explain what’s wrong, and give you a clear price before we start. Every job is priced individually because your project isn’t identical to the last one we did.
Once you approve the work, we get it done. Licensed electricians handle the install or repair. We pull permits when required, follow Rhode Island’s electrical code to the letter, and make sure everything’s inspected if needed. When we’re finished, your system works the way it should—and you’ll have documentation if you ever need it for insurance or resale.
If something comes up later, you call the same number. We’ve been here for three decades, and we’ll be here next year too.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting licensed, insured Master Electricians who’ve seen just about every electrical issue that comes up in Coventry, RI. We handle residential electrical work—panel upgrades, rewiring, lighting installations, code compliance fixes—and commercial electrical projects for businesses that can’t afford downtime.
Generator installation and repair is a big part of what we do here. Power outages in Rhode Island aren’t rare, and a properly installed backup generator means your sump pump keeps running, your heat stays on, and your refrigerator doesn’t turn into a science experiment. We size the system correctly, install it to code, and make sure it actually starts when the power drops.
Emergency electrical service is available when you need it. If your panel’s sparking or half your house just went dark, that’s not something you wait on. We also do the routine stuff—outlet installations, lighting upgrades to energy-efficient LED systems, electrical inspections for home sales.
Every project gets handled the same way: licensed electricians, code-compliant work, and a certificate of insurance available on request. Rhode Island requires all electrical work to be done by state-licensed professionals. We’ve held those licenses for 30 years.
Yes. Rhode Island law requires all electrical work to be performed by someone licensed by the state. That’s not a suggestion—it’s the law.
If you hire someone who isn’t licensed and something goes wrong, your homeowner’s insurance can deny your claim. If you try to sell your home and the inspector finds unpermitted electrical work, you’ll be paying to rip it out and redo it correctly. If there’s a fire and the investigation traces it back to faulty electrical work done by an unlicensed person, you’re looking at serious liability.
Licensed Master Electricians know Rhode Island’s electrical code, which is based on the 2023 National Electrical Code with state-specific amendments. We know what requires a permit, what needs inspection, and how to install systems that pass. You’re not just paying for the work—you’re paying for it to be done legally and safely, with documentation you can show an inspector, insurance company, or future buyer.
It depends entirely on what you need done. A simple outlet installation costs a lot less than a full panel upgrade or whole-house generator installation.
We price every job individually because the scope varies. Your home’s age, the condition of your existing electrical system, whether we need to pull permits, how accessible the work area is—all of that affects cost. A panel upgrade in a 1950s home with outdated wiring is a different project than the same upgrade in a 1990s home with accessible wiring.
When you call, we’ll ask enough questions to give you a ballpark. If it’s a bigger job, we’ll schedule a time to look at it in person and give you an exact price before any work starts. No surprises, no “we found more problems” upsells. You’ll know what it costs before we touch anything, and that price includes licensed electricians, code-compliant work, and permits if required.
That depends on what you want to keep running during an outage. If you just need the essentials—refrigerator, a few lights, your sump pump, and maybe your heating system—you’re looking at a smaller standby generator, usually in the 10-15 kW range.
If you want to run your whole house like nothing happened—central air, all appliances, multiple rooms of lights, outlets for devices—you’ll need something bigger, often 20 kW or more. The exact size depends on your home’s electrical load, which we calculate based on what’s actually in your house and what you prioritize during an outage.
We don’t sell you the biggest generator we can. We size it based on your actual needs and your budget. Oversizing costs you more upfront and more in fuel every time it runs. Undersizing means it won’t handle the load and could damage itself trying. We calculate the load, recommend the right size, and install it to code so it actually works when the power goes out—which in Rhode Island, especially during winter storms, happens more often than most people like.
Yes. We’ve completed over 1,500 commercial electrical projects across Rhode Island. That includes office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, warehouses, and industrial facilities.
Commercial electrical work is different from residential. Code requirements are stricter, the systems are more complex, and downtime costs you money. We handle new construction electrical, tenant fit-outs, lighting retrofits to energy-efficient LED systems, panel upgrades, emergency power systems, and electrical maintenance programs that catch problems before they shut you down.
Every commercial project gets the same approach: licensed Master Electricians, full code compliance, permits pulled and inspections scheduled, and work done on a timeline that minimizes disruption to your operation. We provide certificates of insurance when required and documentation for your records. If you’re a business in Coventry, RI that needs electrical work done right—and can’t afford to have it done twice—that’s what we do.
Most residential panel upgrades take one day, sometimes two depending on the complexity. If we’re just swapping an old panel for a new one in the same location with accessible wiring, that’s typically a one-day job.
If your service entrance needs upgrading, if we’re moving the panel location, or if we’re also updating a bunch of outdated wiring while we’re at it, that can stretch into a second day. Commercial panel upgrades vary more widely based on the size of the system and whether we’re working around your business hours.
Here’s what actually happens: we shut off power to your home, remove the old panel, install the new one, reconnect all your circuits, test everything, and restore power. We coordinate with your utility company if the meter needs to be pulled. We pull the permit before we start and schedule the inspection after we’re done. You’ll be without power for part of the day, but we work straight through to get you back up and running. If you need to plan around the outage—like if you work from home or have medical equipment—we’ll give you an exact timeline before we start.
Yes. Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours. If your panel’s sparking, you’re smelling burning plastic, or half your house just lost power and you can’t figure out why, that needs attention now.
We handle emergency calls for both residential and commercial customers in Coventry, RI. That includes power outages, electrical fires, failed panels, generator failures during outages, and any situation where your electrical system is creating a safety hazard or leaving you without power.
When you call for emergency service, you’re getting the same licensed Master Electricians who handle our scheduled work—not a subcontractor, not an apprentice. We diagnose the problem, explain what’s wrong, and fix it. If it’s something that can wait and you’d rather schedule it for later to avoid emergency rates, we’ll tell you that too. But if it’s genuinely dangerous or leaving you without power, we’ll get it handled. Thirty years in this business means we’ve seen just about every electrical emergency that can happen, and we know how to fix it safely and fast.
