Working in Somerville
Your local electricians for Somerville.
Somerville is one of the most densely built cities in New England, and much of it is two- and three-family houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Squares like Davis, Union, Porter and Ball anchor neighborhoods where many buildings have been split into condos.
We work for Somerville condo owners, small landlords and associations, often on one unit while coordinating shared work in the basement or common areas.
“I loved the guys who came to fix my father's electrical problems in the garage. They were very nice and polite. I will hire Ryan Gath Electric again, great company and prompt!”
Homes & buildings in Somerville
Triple-deckers, updated floor by floor.
In a Somerville triple-decker, each unit may have been renovated at a different time, so wiring quality can change from floor to floor. We regularly find knob and tube in one unit and brand-new circuits in the next, with a basement full of panels and meters that need clear labels.
As owners add mini-splits and electric appliances, unit panels and sometimes the building’s service need more capacity. Smoke and CO detection is also a constant need for sales and rentals.
Somerville’s squares keep changing, with new mixed-use buildings and small businesses opening near the Green Line stations. On the commercial side, that means fit-outs for restaurants, studios and shops in older storefronts, where the electrical service often needs work before new equipment can go in.

Before you start
Planning a project in Somerville.
In triple-deckers, a unit panel upgrade can sometimes trigger questions about the building’s service and meter bank. We look at the whole picture up front so you know whether a single-unit project can stand alone or should be coordinated with neighbors.
Condo associations often require insurance certificates and advance notice. We provide the paperwork and schedule around shared spaces.
Somerville FAQ
Electrical questions from Somerville
Can you upgrade just my unit’s panel?
Yes. We work on individual unit panels and coordinate with your association if shared equipment is involved.
Do you work with condo associations?
Yes, on shared basements, meters and common-area lighting.
Can you add a mini-split circuit to my condo?
Usually. We check your panel capacity and route a dedicated circuit to the equipment.
Will upgrading my unit’s panel affect the rest of the building?
Usually not, but if the building’s service is near capacity, it can. We check and explain the options before starting.
