About Electrical Services in Cambridge

Electrical services cover panel upgrades, circuit installation, outlet and switch work, lighting, and troubleshooting. Electrical work should always be done by a licensed electrician — faulty wiring is a leading cause of house fires.

Typical costs: Service calls for minor work start at $150–$300. Panel upgrades run $1,500–$4,000. Rewiring a home ranges from $8,000–$20,000+ depending on size and access.

Common projects include:
  • Electrical panel upgrade (100A to 200A)
  • Outlet and switch installation
  • Lighting fixture installation
  • Circuit additions for appliances
  • Electrical troubleshooting and repair

Most electrical work beyond simple fixture swaps requires permits. Panel upgrades, new circuits, and outlet additions all need permits and inspections in most jurisdictions.
