Service area
Based in Reading, O'Shea Electrical Services is within a short drive of Wakefield (2 mi), Lynnfield (3 mi), North Reading (3 mi), Stoneham (4 mi), Woburn (4 mi) and Wilmington (4 mi).

Hiring a Electrical contractor in Reading
Electrical work in Reading requires a permit under 527 CMR 12.00, the Massachusetts amendments to the National Electrical Code, and a licensed Journeyman or Master electrician must do the work. Permits are filed with the Reading building/inspections office, and the town wiring inspector inspects before the system is energized. Because RMLD owns the local distribution, the meter and service connection are coordinated with RMLD rather than an investor-owned utility. Panel upgrades, EV circuits, generators, and rewires all need permits; like-for-like device swaps generally don't.
Reading pricing tracks the inner-suburban Boston metro market. A 100A-to-200A panel upgrade typically runs $2,800–$5,000, more when the meter socket or service entrance has to be rebuilt. A Level 2 EV-charger circuit usually lands at $1,000–$2,200 depending on the run to the garage. Knob-and-tube and cloth rewiring is priced by access and often falls between $7,500 and $18,000 for a full house. A whole-home generator with a transfer switch generally runs $8,500–$15,000 installed.
Massachusetts requires a written contract and a Home Improvement Contractor registration for most residential electrical work; ask for the registration number and check it before paying a deposit.
