Serving Holliston & MetroWest MA
Electrician in Holliston, MA
Holliston pairs a genuinely old town center with decades of newer subdivisions and lakefront property on Lake Winthrop. Simolari Electric handles rewiring, panel upgrades, EV chargers, and outdoor work across Holliston, from downtown and Mudville to the newer neighborhoods off Route 16.
An Electrician Who Knows Holliston's Range of Homes
Holliston is a MetroWest town with real history, incorporated in 1724, and its housing reflects it. The center, Mudville, and the streets along the old rail line hold well-kept older homes, some of them genuinely antique, while the neighborhoods that grew outward through the mid and late twentieth century make up the bulk of the town.
That split defines the work. In the older stock near the center, the jobs are careful rewires, grounding corrections, and service upgrades in houses that were wired and rewired long before modern loads existed. In the newer subdivisions, the demand is capacity: EV chargers, heat pumps, generators, and finished basements added to homes that weren't built with them in mind.
Holliston also has Lake Winthrop and a lot of large, wooded lots, which brings outdoor and wet-location wiring into the picture, along with the well and septic systems common outside the town center. We cover all of it, and because Holliston is an easy reach from Franklin through Medway and Milford, we're in town regularly.

Common Electrical Work in Holliston
Rewiring and grounding in older homes.
The homes near Holliston center and Mudville have often been added to for generations. Ungrounded two-prong outlets, cloth-insulated wiring, and undersized panels are common. We plan the work to route through existing chases and closets where we can, identify up front where a wall has to be opened, and bring the system up to current code without gutting the house.
Capacity for electrification in newer neighborhoods.
The subdivisions off Route 16 and Washington Street were built to code but not for today's loads. Owners adding EV chargers, heat pumps, induction ranges, and hot tubs frequently push a 100-amp or early 200-amp service past its limit. We run a load calculation first, so you know whether a service upgrade needs to happen before the next addition goes in.
Outdoor, lakefront, and well systems.
Lake Winthrop frontage and large wooded lots mean a lot of exterior work: landscape lighting, weatherproof outlets, underground runs to sheds and garages, and pool or hot tub circuits, all with the GFCI protection, burial depth, and bonding that wet locations require. Properties on private well and septic also need pump circuits and alarm wiring kept in working order.
Renovations and additions.
Holliston homeowners tend to stay and improve. Finished basements, kitchen remodels, and additions all need new dedicated circuits, correct AFCI and GFCI protection, and a permit and inspection through the town's Inspector of Wires. We handle the permit and the inspection as part of the job.

Holliston Electrical Questions
Can you rewire an older Holliston home without tearing it apart?
In most cases, yes. We route a large share of new wiring through existing attics, basements, closets, and chases, and we identify the few spots where a wall has to be opened in the estimate rather than mid-job. In an antique home we plan the work to protect original plaster and trim, and we'll coordinate with your contractor if finish repair is needed.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Holliston?
Yes, for essentially anything beyond a like-for-like device swap. Massachusetts requires permits pulled by a licensed electrician and an inspection by the town's Inspector of Wires. That covers panel upgrades, new circuits, EV chargers, and rewiring. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection so you're not chasing paperwork.
Do you do outdoor and lakefront wiring around Lake Winthrop?
Yes. Landscape and dock lighting, exterior outlets, underground feeds to sheds and garages, and pool or hot tub circuits. Wet-location work near water has stricter requirements for GFCI protection, enclosures, burial depth, and bonding, and we permit and inspect all of it.
Is Holliston within your service area?
Yes. Holliston is an easy reach from our Franklin base through Medway and Milford, and it's one of our regular towns. Same-day and 24/7 emergency service are both available. Call (508) 918-4525.
