Frequently Asked Questions

Electrical work directly affects the safety of your home or business. A licensed electrician has the training to do the work safely and up to code, and insurance protects you if something unexpected happens on the job. Adames Electrical LLC is fully licensed and insured.

Two easy ways: call us at 978-509-3443, or fill out the estimate request form with your project details. We'll review your request, talk through the project with you, and provide an estimate.

The basics help us give you a faster, more accurate estimate: what type of property it is (home, business, new construction), what you need done, and your city or town. Photos of the area or existing equipment are helpful too, but not required.

We serve customers throughout Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. We also hold electrical licenses in Maine and Vermont, so call us about projects in those states as well. The quickest way to confirm coverage for your city or town is to call 978-509-3443.

We handle wiring, outlet and switch installation, light fixtures and ceiling fans, GFCI protection, appliance circuits, panel upgrades, repairs, and general home electrical improvements. See our residential services for details.

Warning signs worth having checked include breakers that trip repeatedly, flickering or dimming lights, outlets that feel warm or don't work, buzzing sounds from switches or panels, and burning smells near electrical devices. If you notice any of these, contact a licensed electrician for an assessment.

Yes. Adding dedicated circuits for appliances, equipment, or new areas of your home is common residential work. We'll evaluate your panel's capacity and install what the appliance requires. Request an estimate to get started.

We provide electrical services for offices, retail spaces, and commercial buildings — including installations, upgrades, maintenance, repairs, and tenant fit-outs. Contact us to discuss your property.

We understand that downtime costs money. Talk to us about your schedule when requesting an estimate and we'll discuss options for minimizing disruption to your operations.

Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, a panel that still uses fuses, insufficient capacity for modern appliances, and planned additions like an EV charger, mini-splits, or new equipment. An assessment by a licensed electrician can determine whether an upgrade makes sense for your situation.

A breaker that trips occasionally may just be overloaded, but repeated tripping can indicate a wiring problem, a failing breaker, or an overloaded circuit that needs attention. Rather than repeatedly resetting it, have a licensed electrician troubleshoot the cause. Contact us and we'll take a look.

We troubleshoot first. Finding the root cause of an electrical problem — not just replacing parts — is how you get a repair that lasts and avoids paying for work you don't need.

We install and upgrade interior and exterior lighting: recessed lighting, fixture replacement, LED upgrades, dimmers and controls, and commercial lighting. See our lighting solutions page for more.

LED lighting generally uses less energy and lasts longer than older incandescent or fluorescent lighting, which is why many homes and businesses upgrade. The right choice depends on your space and goals — we can assess your current lighting and recommend options.

Early. Involving the electrical contractor during planning helps get the panel capacity, circuit layout, and lighting design right before walls go up — and keeps the electrical phase coordinated with the rest of the build. If you're planning a project, reach out and we'll discuss it.

Yes. For new construction and renovation projects we work alongside builders and general contractors, keeping the electrical scope on schedule with the overall project.

Yes. We install fire alarm systems and wiring for commercial and residential properties, including control panels, detectors, pull stations, horns, and strobes. See our fire alarm services or contact us to discuss your project.

Yes. Fire alarm wiring is best planned alongside the rest of the electrical work so devices and routing are in place before finishes go in. Contact us early in the project and we'll coordinate the scope with your team.

Yes. We install electric vehicle chargers for homes and businesses, including the dedicated circuit the charger requires. See our EV charger services or call 978-509-3443.

It depends on your panel's capacity and what else is already on the system. EV chargers draw a significant load, so some properties need a panel upgrade first. We evaluate your existing electrical service and tell you what your installation requires before any work begins.

Yes. We install charging stations for commercial properties, including the conduit and wiring runs from the electrical service to the charger locations. Contact us to discuss your site.
