Working in Lexington

Your local electricians for Lexington.

Lexington has a housing mix unlike almost anywhere else nearby. There are colonial-era and Victorian homes near the center, large traditional colonials across town, and whole neighborhoods of mid-century modern houses, like Six Moon Hill and Five Fields, with flat roofs, walls of glass and open plans.

Lexington homeowners have also moved quickly toward all-electric living: heat pumps, induction cooking, solar and EVs. That’s where a lot of our work here comes from, making sure the electrical system can carry what homeowners want to add.

Homes & buildings in Lexington

Going electric, one panel at a time.

Replacing oil or gas heat with heat pumps, adding an induction range and charging an EV can easily double a home’s peak electrical demand. Many Lexington homes, especially older ones and mid-century houses built with modest services, need a panel or service upgrade before those changes. We start with a load calculation so the upgrade is sized to what you actually need.

Mid-century moderns bring their own quirks: wiring routed through tight roof cavities and post-and-beam framing, few places to hide new cable, and original fixtures owners want to preserve. We plan carefully and work with the architecture rather than against it.

Before you start

Planning a project in Lexington.

For all-electric conversions, sequence matters. We usually recommend confirming service capacity first, then scheduling the heat pump installer, then adding induction cooking and EV charging. Load management devices can sometimes let a home avoid a full service upgrade, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the better option.

In mid-century modern homes, we plan routes with extra care. Exposed beams, flat roofs and glass walls leave few hidden paths, so we walk the house with you and agree on where any new wiring will run before we start.

Lexington FAQ

Electrical questions from Lexington

Do I need 200-amp service to go all-electric in Lexington?

Often, but not always. A load calculation, and sometimes load management, determines the right size for your home.

Can you work on mid-century modern homes?

Yes. We plan routes carefully in post-and-beam and flat-roof construction and respect original design details.

Do you coordinate with solar installers?

We can coordinate panel work with your solar contractor so capacity and space are planned together.

Can load management avoid a service upgrade in my Lexington home?

Sometimes. A load management device can share capacity between large loads like an EV charger and heat pumps. A load calculation shows whether it’s a good fit.
