Boston homes have character, and their electrical systems often reflect decades of changes. A brownstone in Beacon Hill, a triple-decker in Dorchester, and a single-family home in West Roxbury can each present different challenges when it’s time to repair wiring, replace a panel, or install new equipment.
At Paul Macrina Electrical, we’ve helped homeowners with electrical repairs, installations, and improvements since 1990. We understand the importance of working carefully in established homes, clearly explaining what needs attention, and finding practical solutions for your property.
If something isn’t working properly or you’re planning an electrical upgrade, schedule electrical service in Boston with your family electrician.

Older Boston properties may contain wiring installed during previous generations of renovations. We provide knob and tube wiring replacement and electrical panel replacement to address outdated components and support modern household electrical needs.

Surge Protection and Emergency Electrical Services in Boston
Unexpected electrical problems can interrupt household routines and create safety concerns. We install whole-home surge protection to help protect connected equipment and provide emergency electrical services for urgent issues such as sparking outlets or burning smells.
Outdoor and Seasonal Electrical Services in Boston
Boston winters can bring snow, freezing temperatures, and ice buildup along roof edges. We install roof de-icing cables to help maintain drainage paths and provide outdoor lighting solutions for entrances, walkways, patios, and seasonal displays.
Pool, Hot Tub, and Generator Electrical Services in Boston
Some Boston properties have backyard pools, hot tubs, or space for backup power equipment. Our pool and hot tub electrical services include appropriate equipment connections and circuit protection, while our whole-home generator services help homeowners explore backup power options.
Electrical Work in Boston’s Multi-Unit and Historic Homes
Boston’s housing creates electrical challenges that aren’t always obvious until work begins. In a triple-decker, for example, electrical equipment may serve multiple units, while older brownstones can have limited space for new wiring or panels.
Renovations can add another layer of complexity. A homeowner updating a kitchen in Jamaica Plain or finishing a basement in Roslindale may need additional circuits, improved outlet placement, or changes to the existing electrical panel.
Before recommending work, our electricians assess the system and discuss your plans. Our electrical troubleshooting services help identify problems, while careful planning helps determine the right approach for repairs and installations.
