Licensed Electricians Serving Massachusetts

Yes. Heritage Home Service holds Massachusetts Electrical License #100139MR and all of our electricians carry the credentials required by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to perform residential electrical work. Our team follows Massachusetts electrical code requirements, permitting rules, and safety regulations on every job.

Heritage operates from two Massachusetts offices — our Wilmington location at 323 Andover St and our Auburn (Worcester area) location at 109 Washington St — allowing us to serve homeowners across eastern and central Massachusetts. Whether the project calls for a simple outlet installation, a full panel replacement, or a whole-home generator, you can trust that our licensed electricians will complete the work safely and to code.

Many Massachusetts homes are 60 or more years old and still rely on outdated 100-amp electrical panels that were never designed to support today’s appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, and home office equipment. If your breakers trip frequently, your lights dim when large appliances cycle on, or you are planning a renovation, an electrical panel upgrade is often the first step.

Massachusetts requires permits and inspections for all panel upgrades. Heritage handles the entire permitting process with your local town building department so you do not have to. Our electricians will coordinate the utility service disconnect, complete the upgrade, and schedule the required municipal inspection on your behalf.

During our assessment we also check for known safety concerns common in older Massachusetts homes, including Federal Pacific panels, Zinsco panels, and aluminum branch-circuit wiring — all of which pose elevated fire risks and should be addressed by a licensed professional.

Yes. Heritage offers emergency electrical support for Massachusetts homeowners who experience urgent issues that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment. Our team dispatches from our Wilmington and Auburn, MA offices, which allows us to respond quickly to homes across eastern and central Massachusetts.

Common electrical emergencies we respond to in Massachusetts include storm damage from nor’easters and severe weather, power surges that damage appliances or electronics, tripped main breakers that leave your home without power, burning smells from outlets or panels, and exposed or sparking wires. If you are experiencing an electrical emergency, call Heritage immediately so we can get a licensed electrician to your home as quickly as possible.

Massachusetts requires permits for most electrical work beyond basic fixture swaps, including panel upgrades, new circuit installations, EV charger installations, generator hookups, and any project that involves opening walls or running new wiring. The Commonwealth’s electrical code (527 CMR) sets the standards that all permitted work must meet.

Heritage takes the permitting burden off your plate. We pull all required permits with your local building department, coordinate any necessary utility disconnects, and schedule the mandatory inspections once the work is complete. You do not need to visit town hall, fill out applications, or arrange inspector visits — our team manages the entire process from start to finish so your project stays on track and fully compliant with Massachusetts regulations.

Massachusetts has some of the oldest housing stock in the country. Many homes built before 1970 still contain knob-and-tube wiring, ungrounded two-prong outlets, undersized electrical panels, or wiring that was installed before modern code standards existed. These conditions increase the risk of electrical fires, shock hazards, and damage to sensitive electronics.

The Commonwealth enforces strict electrical code requirements under 527 CMR, and insurance companies in Massachusetts increasingly require electrical safety inspections before issuing or renewing homeowners policies on older properties. A failed inspection or an undisclosed wiring issue can result in denied claims or policy cancellations.

Heritage provides comprehensive whole-home electrical safety inspections that evaluate your panel, wiring, grounding, outlets, and circuit protection from top to bottom. Our licensed electricians identify existing hazards, code violations, and components that are nearing the end of their safe service life — then provide you with clear recommendations so you can make informed decisions about what to address first.
