02 / The Work

A short list of what I do well.

Residential. Permitted. Inspected. If it’s on this list, I’ve done a few hundred of them.

  1. i.

    Service & panel upgrades

    100A to 200A service, sub-panels, full rewires. I pull the permit, schedule the inspector, label every breaker by hand.

    permitted · inspected

  2. ii.

    EV charger installs

    Level 2 hardwired or NEMA 14-50, load calculations done properly, routing kept out of sight, MassSave rebate paperwork handed to you done.

    Tesla, Wallbox, ChargePoint, etc.

  3. iii.

    Troubleshooting & diagnostics

    The breaker that won’t hold. The outlet that hums. The light that flickers when the dryer runs. I find it, I fix it, I tell you what it was.

    same-day on most calls

  4. iv.

    Lighting, switches, fixtures

    Recessed retrofits, kitchen under-cabinet, exterior soffit and post lighting, smart switches that actually pair on the first try.

    interior & exterior

  5. v.

    Standby generators

    Whole-home Generac and Kohler. Sized to your panel, sited to your yard, gas hookup coordinated, transfer switch wired by the same hand that installed your panel.

    Generac · Kohler

  6. vi.

    Code corrections & inspection fails

    Buying or selling in Methuen, Andover, Lawrence? I rewrite somebody else’s shortcuts so the inspector signs the card and the closing moves.

03 / About Michael

One name.
One license.
Twenty years of it.

I started wiring houses in the Merrimack Valley in the early two-thousands. The license that’s pulled on every job I do still has my name on it — not a company name, not a holding LLC, not a parent contractor. Mine.

That means when you call (978) 873-6513, you reach me. When the truck pulls up, I’m driving it. When the breaker trips at 9pm because the kid plugged the space heater into the same outlet as the microwave, you’re not explaining it to a dispatcher and then a different tech in the morning — you’re explaining it to the person who’s going to fix it.

One hundred and twenty-two of your neighbors have written something kind about that on Google. The average comes out to four point nine stars. I’d like to keep it there.

★★★★★ Methuen homeowner
“He installed our Tesla charger, walked us through the MassSave rebate, and texted a photo of the load calc. The guy is a professional.”
★★★★★ Andover EV owner
“Three other electricians ghosted us before closing. Michael picked up, came that afternoon, passed the re-inspection the next morning.”
