You need electrical work that actually lasts. Not temporary fixes that fail six months later. Not guesswork that puts your family at risk.
When your electrical system works the way it should, you stop worrying about flickering lights during storms. You stop wondering if that old panel is going to fail. You get reliable power for your home office, your appliances, and everything else that depends on electricity in 2025.
If you’re dealing with knob and tube wiring in one of Burrillville’s older homes, you already know the problem. Insurance companies won’t cover it. It’s a fire risk. And every year you wait, it gets harder to sell your house or refinance.
We replace outdated wiring with modern, safe systems that meet code and give you peace of mind. Same goes for panel upgrades, generator installation, and any electrical repair your home needs. You get licensed work, done correctly, so you can move on with your day.
We employ Master Electricians and Electrical Inspector Certified professionals. We’re members of the Rhode Island Electrical Inspectors IAEI Roger Williams Chapter and authorized Generac Generator Dealers.
That means you’re working with licensed, insured electricians who follow NFPA’s Certification Code of Ethics. Not handymen. Not unlicensed contractors cutting corners.
Burrillville homeowners deal with unique challenges. Homes built in the 60s and 70s. Knob and tube wiring that needs replacing. Electrical panels that can’t handle modern loads. We’ve handled these jobs hundreds of times across Rhode Island, and we know what works in your area.
You call or contact us with your electrical issue. We ask a few questions to understand what’s going on and schedule a time that works for you.
When we arrive, we assess the situation. If it’s an electrical repair, we diagnose the problem and explain what needs to happen. If it’s an upgrade or installation, we walk you through your options and give you straightforward pricing.
Once you approve the work, we get started. For smaller jobs like outlet repairs or switch replacements, we’re usually done the same day. For bigger projects like panel upgrades, knob and tube wiring replacement, or generator installation, we give you a clear timeline upfront.
After the work is complete, we test everything to make sure it’s functioning safely. You get code-compliant electrical work and a Certificate of Insurance if you need it for your records. No surprises. No callbacks.

You’re dealing with rising electricity costs. Rhode Island saw a 22.6% rate increase from 2024 to 2025, the highest in the country. That makes energy-efficient electrical upgrades more important than ever.
We install 200 amp service upgrades so your home can handle modern electrical demands without tripping breakers. We replace knob and tube wiring so you can get homeowners insurance and eliminate fire risks. We install standby generators so you have backup power during outages, which happen more often in Rhode Island than most states.
For commercial properties, we handle everything from lighting upgrades to three-phase power installations. If you’re adding EV charging stations, we’re certified to install those too. Rhode Island has 330 public EV charging locations, and more Burrillville residents are making the switch to electric vehicles every year.
Whether it’s residential or commercial electrical work, you get licensed electricians who show up on time, explain what’s happening, and leave your property cleaner than we found it.
It depends on the size of your home and how much wiring needs replacing. Most Burrillville homes built in the 60s and 70s have between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet of living space.
For a full knob and tube wiring replacement in a home that size, you’re typically looking at several thousand dollars. That includes removing the old wiring, running new Romex cable, updating your electrical panel if needed, and making sure everything meets current code.
It’s not a small investment, but it’s necessary if you want homeowners insurance. Most insurance companies in Rhode Island refuse to cover homes with knob and tube wiring because of the fire risk. Without coverage, you can’t get a mortgage or sell your home easily. The replacement pays for itself when you factor in safety, insurability, and resale value.
If you’re running a home office, charging an electric vehicle, or using multiple high-draw appliances at once, probably. Older homes in Burrillville were built with 100 amp service, which was fine in the 70s but doesn’t cut it anymore.
Signs you need an upgrade: breakers trip frequently, lights dim when you run the dryer, or your panel feels warm to the touch. If you’re planning a major renovation or adding central air, your electrician will likely require a panel upgrade before they start work.
A 200 amp service upgrade gives you the capacity to power everything you need without overloading your system. It also brings your electrical panel up to current code, which matters when you sell your home or file an insurance claim. Most upgrades take one to two days depending on your setup and whether we need to coordinate with your utility company.
For a standby generator installation, plan on two to three days from start to finish. That includes running the gas line or propane connection, pouring a concrete pad, installing the transfer switch, and connecting everything to your electrical panel.
Rhode Island ranks fifth nationally for percentage of customers affected by power outages. Burrillville sees its share of storm-related outages, especially in winter. A standby generator kicks on automatically within seconds of losing power, so your heat, refrigerator, and essential systems keep running.
We’re authorized Generac dealers, which means you get factory-trained installation and warranty support. After installation, we test the system under load to make sure it’s ready when you need it. You’ll also want to schedule annual maintenance to keep it running reliably, which we handle as well.
A licensed electrician completed years of apprenticeship training, passed state exams, and carries insurance and bonding. A handyman might have some electrical experience, but they’re not legally qualified to do electrical work in Rhode Island.
If something goes wrong with unlicensed electrical work, your homeowners insurance can deny your claim. You’re also liable if someone gets hurt. And when you go to sell your home, unpermitted electrical work shows up during inspections and kills deals.
Licensed Master Electricians follow the National Electrical Code and local regulations. We pull permits when required, and our work gets inspected to make sure it’s safe. You get a Certificate of Insurance if you need it, and you have recourse if there’s ever an issue. It costs more upfront than hiring someone off Craigslist, but it’s the only way to protect yourself legally and financially.
Yes. We work on commercial properties, industrial facilities, and multi-family buildings throughout Burrillville and the rest of Rhode Island.
Commercial electrical work is different from residential. You’re dealing with three-phase power, higher voltages, and stricter code requirements. You also can’t afford downtime, so we schedule work around your business hours whenever possible.
Common commercial projects we handle: lighting retrofits to LED for energy savings, panel upgrades to support new equipment, emergency generator installation for business continuity, and EV charging station installation for employee or customer use. We also troubleshoot electrical issues that are affecting your operations and get you back online fast. Every commercial job gets the same licensed, insured electricians and code-compliant work you’d expect from a Master Electrician.
Yes, but understand that emergency rates are higher than scheduled service. If your power goes out at 2 AM or you smell burning near your electrical panel, that’s an emergency. Call us and we’ll get someone out as fast as possible.
True electrical emergencies include sparking outlets, burning smells from your panel, exposed wiring, or complete power loss that’s not caused by an outage. These situations are dangerous and need immediate attention.
For non-emergencies like a single outlet that stopped working or a light fixture that needs replacing, you’ll save money by scheduling regular service during business hours. We price jobs individually based on what’s involved, and we’ll always tell you upfront what it’s going to cost. No surprises when the work is done.
