Working in Boston
Your local electricians for Boston.
Boston is a city of neighborhoods, and each one has its own housing: triple-deckers in Dorchester and Jamaica Plain, row houses in Charlestown and the South End, brownstones in the Back Bay, and single-families in Roslindale and West Roxbury. What most have in common is age, and wiring that has been added to by many owners over many decades.
We work with Boston homeowners, condo owners and associations, landlords, and small businesses. Work in the city is permitted through Boston’s Inspectional Services Department, and we handle the paperwork and inspections.
“Ryan Gath Electric helped us install a 220 line from our house to patio to hook up a pool heater. Ryan came to our house for a quote and was respectful of our needs. He genuinely cared about making sure we were getting the best value.”
Homes & buildings in Boston
Old buildings, new expectations.
In a triple-decker or a converted row house, each unit usually has its own meter and panel, with shared basements and common areas. Over the years, units get renovated at different times by different owners, so wiring quality varies floor to floor. We sort that out unit by unit and coordinate with owners and associations on shared work.
Smoke and carbon monoxide detection comes up often, especially when units are sold or rented. So do panel upgrades as owners add mini-splits for cooling and heating, and lighting upgrades in renovated kitchens and baths.
