How a request moves
From your request to a licensed electrician
Most electrical jobs at home aren't emergencies, but they're still hard to get scheduled: small jobs get put off, and big ones need someone who'll deal with the permit and the utility. Tell us the job and the town, and the request comes to us. No electricians have joined yet; we're signing them up one area at a time, and we reply to every request ourselves.
No area ever has more than one participating electrician. We don't wire anything, price anything or sign anything; the estimate, schedule and contract are worked out between you and the electrician.
- Describe the job. Call or use the form. The town, the age of the house and what you're adding (a heat pump, a charger, a generator) tell us the most.
- We answer it. We read it ourselves and write back with what comes next.
- The electrician handles the paperwork. For-hire wiring has to be reported to your town's inspector of wires, and the work stays open until it's inspected. Service upgrades also go through National Grid.

Greater Lowell towns
Each town page names its inspector of wires, how permits are filed there and what the housing stock means for the wiring. Towns with a local guide so far: Greater Lowell, MA (Lowell, Billerica, Chelmsford, Dracut, Tewksbury and Westford). We add towns across New England as we can cover them properly.
Massachusetts
Massachusetts basics
Four things to know before anyone opens the panel
The work needs a licensed electrician. State law requires electrical installations to be done by someone licensed by the Board of State Examiners of Electricians, and a business doing electrical work needs a master electrician as its licensee of record (M.G.L. c.141 §1A, 237 CMR 16.03). You can look up any electrician on the state license lookup.
The inspector of wires gets notice. Anyone wiring for hire must notify your town's inspector of wires on the state's permit form, before starting or within five days, and the work can't be covered up until it's inspected (M.G.L. c.143 §3L, 527 CMR 12.00).
The code changed this year. Massachusetts adopted a new electrical code based on the 2026 National Electrical Code, effective April 24, 2026 (Massachusetts Electrical Code).
Electrical-only work doesn't need HIC registration. Licensed electricians working only within their license are exempt from Home Improvement Contractor registration. If the job also includes carpentry or other work outside the license, ask who is doing that part (201 CMR 18.01).

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
What does it cost me to use New England Electric Pros?
Nothing. We don't charge homeowners for the call, the request or the referral. The electrician prices the job, and that price is between you and them.
Is this an emergency line?
No. We review it and reply by the next business day. For a downed wire, stay at least 30 feet away and call 911, as National Grid advises. For a power outage, contact National Grid directly.
Will a crowd of electricians start calling me?
No. Your details go to one electrician at most, the one who covers your town, and never to a list.
Which jobs don't you refer?
We refer electrical work in homes: panels and service upgrades, EV chargers, generators and transfer switches, rewiring, lighting and outlets. Commercial buildings, solar arrays, security and alarm systems, and the gas piping to a generator are outside what we refer.
Do I need National Grid for a service upgrade?
Yes. In the Greater Lowell towns we cover, National Grid is the electric company. Your electrician applies to National Grid, schedules the disconnect and reconnect, and National Grid won't reconnect the service until the town's inspection is approved.
