01 — The Work
What I do, in plain English.
No package tiers, no “diamond plan,” no upsells. Residential electrical work for the way houses in the Merrimack Valley actually get used. If it’s not on this list, ask anyway.
-
01
Panel upgrades & service changes
200-amp swaps for additions, EV chargers, or homes still on a 60- or 100-amp service. Permits pulled. Inspection scheduled. Power back on the same day in most cases.
-
02
Emergency troubleshooting
Half the house dark. Breaker that won’t reset. Smell of something hot in the basement. This is what 24/7 is for. Answered live, day or night.
-
03
EV charger installation
Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, generic 14-50 plug. Load calculation, hardwire or outlet, weatherproof for the garage or driveway. Mass Save rebate paperwork if it applies.
-
04
Outlets, switches, GFCI & AFCI
Code-current devices in the kitchen and bath. Tamper-resistant outlets for the nursery. Three-way switches that actually work. Dead receptacle traced and fixed.
-
05
Lighting & fixtures
Recessed cans, dimmers that don’t buzz, fan-rated ceiling boxes, under-cabinet, outdoor flood and landscape. I’ll tell you honestly which trim looks right in your ceiling.
-
06
Standby generators
Whole-home and partial-load transfer switches. Generac, Kohler, Briggs. Sized to what you actually run when the power’s out, not the spec sheet.
02 — Where I Go
Andover, and the towns I can be at in twenty minutes.
Truck is based on Vine Street. These are the towns I work in routinely. If you’re a town over and it’s an emergency, call anyway, we’ll figure it out.

03 — About Me
Same rate at 2 PM and 2 AM. That’s the whole pitch.
Most of the trade hands you a base price for a service call, then adds an “after-hours” charge if you call after five, and a separate “weekend” charge on Saturday and Sunday. By Sunday morning that simple breaker reset can be three line items deep before anyone has even shown up.
I don’t do that. I run this myself. There’s no answering service, no dispatcher routing your call through a markup. You get me, or you get my voicemail, and I call back inside the hour. The rate at midnight is the rate at noon.
I’ve been doing electrical work the same way for long enough to have 52 Google reviews and a 4.9-star average. The reviews are real. The neighbors are real. If you want to talk to one of them before you book me, ask, I’ll pass you a number.

04 — The Call
Pick up the phone. Or leave me a note.
If it’s urgent, call. Phone is the fastest way to reach me, day or night. If it can wait until business hours, the form is fine.
