Electrical short repair in Somerville
We start by testing, not guessing. A meter and a circuit tracer tell us where the fault is, and then the repair is usually quick: remake a connection, replace a worn device, repair a damaged cable or move a load to its own circuit. Before we leave we test every outlet and fixture on the circuit we worked on.

Electrical repair in Somerville: common questions
Why did several outlets stop working at once?
Usually a tripped GFCI somewhere upstream, a tripped breaker, or a loose connection at one outlet that feeds the others. We trace the circuit and find the break.
Can you fix old two-prong outlets?
Yes. Depending on the wiring we can run a ground, install GFCI protection, or replace the circuit. We will explain which option suits your house.
Do you repair or replace?
We repair when the repair will last. If a device or cable is worn out or unsafe, we replace it and show you why.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Somerville?
New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.
