"Eddie did an excellent job on my meter box update. He was always responsive (excellent communications) and spent time explaining what needs to be done and the associated cost. Competitive pricing! Eddie was always on time. He also did a great job cleaning up the job site and following up after work has been completed. Highly recommended!"

About Us

About E/R Electric

E/R Electric has spent years earning its 5.0-star reputation one respectful, on-time job at a time across Cambridge and the surrounding Boston-area communities. From triple-deckers in Somerville to renovated colonials in Belmont, Eddie and his crew show up when they say they will, walk homeowners through the scope and cost before a single wire is touched, and leave every job site as clean as they found it — a level of communication and follow-through that shows up again and again in customer reviews.

Cambridge's housing stock brings its own set of electrical challenges, and E/R Electric knows them intimately. Pre-war triple-deckers and Victorians throughout Cambridge and Somerville still hide brittle knob-and-tube wiring behind plaster walls, and E/R Electric handles full remediation safely and to code, without unnecessary demolition. Many of these same homes are still running on undersized 60A or 100A electrical panels that can't keep pace with modern appliances, EV chargers, and central air — E/R Electric performs full 200A service heavy-ups, coordinating directly with the utility and the inspector so the upgrade goes smoothly from permit to final sign-off.

Beyond panel work, E/R Electric has built a name for precise architectural lighting — recessed cans, pendant fixtures, and layered lighting plans that transform a room without exposed conduit or patchwork drywall repairs. Whether it's a meter box update, a kitchen remodel, or new construction, the team treats every home like their own, which is why so many customers say the same thing: responsive, competitively priced, and genuinely easy to work with.
