Lost power, faulty circuits, outdated panels whatever electrical challenge you’re dealing with, our licensed team has the training and tools to handle it. Decades of experience go into every Holbrook project, so you get electrical systems that work safely and efficiently.
Emergency Electrical
Dangerous electrical situations need immediate expert response.
Total power failure. Burning smells from outlets or panels. Sparking wires. These situations require urgent attention from a licensed electrician. GEM provides Holbrook emergency electrical service around the clock. Our team responds fast to dangerous conditions, diagnoses the problem, and restores safety to your home.
Electrical Repair
When electrical systems quit on you, fast repairs get things back to normal.
Breakers that keep tripping. Outlets that stopped working. Lights that won’t stop flickering. Equipment failures mess up your routine and create real safety concerns. Our Holbrook electricians figure out exactly what’s wrong and fix it right. We find the real problem, explain your options clearly, and restore reliable electrical operation to your home.
Electrical Installation
Adding electrical capacity takes proper installation by licensed professionals.
Setting up home offices. Installing hot tubs. Adding EV charging. These improvements need dedicated circuits installed to code. GEM provides electrical installation in Holbrook for new equipment, fixtures, and complete systems. We handle the permits, run circuits correctly, and make sure everything operates safely from day one.
Electrical Maintenance
Regular electrical maintenance catches problems while they’re still small and manageable.
Connections loosen over time. Breakers wear out. Surge protection degrades. Without periodic checkups, minor issues turn into expensive emergencies. GEM delivers electrical maintenance in Holbrook that keeps your system running safely. We inspect panels, test circuits, check connections, and spot developing problems while fixes are still straightforward.
Standby Generators
Storm-related outages shouldn’t leave your Holbrook home in the dark.
Winter storms and severe weather knock out power across the South Shore. When the utilities fail, a standby generator kicks on automatically keeping your lights on, your fridge running, your heat going, and your sump pump working. GEM installs, repairs, and maintains whole-home generators for Holbrook residents who need reliable backup power.
- Generator Repair: Generator won’t start? Running but not producing full power? Making weird noises? Our technicians diagnose and repair generator problems so your backup system is ready for the next outage.
- Generator Replacement: Older generators lose efficiency and reliability over time. If yours struggles to start, runs rough, or can’t handle your electrical load anymore, upgrading to a modern unit gives you better performance and lower fuel costs.
- Generator Maintenance: Annual maintenance keeps generators reliable. We check oil, test batteries, inspect connections, run load tests, and verify your automatic transfer switch works correctly. A maintained generator starts when you need it.
- Generator Installation: We provide generator installation in Holbrook with units that connect right to your electrical panel and start up within seconds of losing utility power. We’ll help you pick the right size for your home’s needs and handle the complete installation, permitting, and testing.
Lighting Services
Good lighting changes how you use and enjoy every room in your home.
The right fixtures in the right places make your home more functional, comfortable, and attractive. Poor lighting strains your eyes, wastes energy, and makes spaces feel smaller than they are. Our electricians design and install lighting that fits how you actually live from task lighting in kitchens to ambient lighting in living rooms to security lighting outside.
- Outdoor Lighting: We install outdoor lighting in Holbrook to guide visitors safely, deter intruders, and highlight your home’s best features. We use weather-resistant fixtures that hold up through Massachusetts seasons.
- Indoor Lighting: We provide indoor lighting installation in Holbrook including recessed lights, pendant fixtures, under-cabinet LEDs, and dimmer switches. We install lighting that matches your style and improves how each room works. Energy-efficient options cut your electricity costs without sacrificing brightness.

Electrical Panel Upgrades
Your electrical panel controls every circuit in your home.
Older panels can’t handle what modern homes demand. Too many appliances on too few circuits means tripped breakers, flickering lights, and fire hazards. Panels with outdated technology like Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers create serious safety risks. GEM provides electrical panel upgrades in Holbrook that meet current code and handle today’s electrical loads. We also repair existing panels, replace faulty breakers, and add circuits when your home needs more capacity.
Smart Home Services
Control your home’s systems from your phone or with voice commands.
Smart thermostats, automated lighting, video doorbells, connected locks these technologies make life easier and can reduce your energy costs. But they need proper electrical infrastructure to work reliably. GEM installs and integrates smart home equipment, making sure devices communicate properly and your electrical system supports them. We help Holbrook residents modernize without the connectivity headaches.
EV Chargers
Charge your electric vehicle overnight at home.
Public charging works occasionally, but if you drive daily, you need reliable home charging. A Level 2 charger adds 25 to 30 miles of range per hour, meaning you get a full charge overnight instead of hunting for public charging stations. GEM provides EV charger installation in Holbrook for all vehicle makes and models. We assess your panel’s capacity, run dedicated circuits, and mount chargers where they’re most convenient for your parking.
Heat Cabling Systems
Electric heat cables prevent ice dams and frozen pipes.
Massachusetts winters create ice dams on roofs that damage shingles and cause leaks inside your home. Pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces freeze and burst. Heat cables solve both problems. GEM installs roof and gutter heat cables that melt ice before it builds up, plus pipe heat cables that keep water flowing through cold snaps. Proper installation and controls mean cables only run when needed, keeping your energy costs reasonable.
Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detectors
These devices save lives but only when they’re working properly.
Carbon monoxide is odorless and invisible. Smoke detectors give you critical minutes to escape a fire. Dead batteries, expired sensors, and poor placement turn life-saving devices into useless plastic. GEM installs hardwired smoke and CO detectors with battery backup throughout Holbrook homes. We position detectors according to code, interconnect them so all alarms sound together, and make sure your family has the warning time they need.
Rewiring & Wiring Installation
Old wiring can’t handle how we use electricity today.
Original wiring in older Holbrook homes was designed for a few lights and maybe a radio. Aluminum wiring from the 1970s creates fire risks at connections. Even homes from the 1990s may have undersized wiring for today’s electronics and appliances. GEM provides rewiring services in Holbrook safely and with minimal disruption to your home. Whether you need a single room updated or whole-house rewiring, our electricians work carefully around your existing finishes and bring your home up to current electrical codes.
Outlets
Modern homes need more outlets in more places.
Two-prong outlets can’t accept grounded plugs. Outlets in kitchens and bathrooms need GFCI protection. Home offices need enough outlets to avoid daisy-chaining power strips. Outdoor outlets need weatherproof covers. GEM installs, replaces, and upgrades outlets throughout Holbrook homes. We add circuits where you need more capacity, install GFCI and AFCI protection where code requires it, and replace worn outlets that no longer hold plugs securely.
Surge Protector Services
One lightning strike or power surge can destroy thousands of dollars in electronics.
Computers, TVs, appliances with circuit boards, HVAC systems with electronic controls a surge lasting just milliseconds can fry them all. Power strips offer limited protection for individual devices, but surges can enter through any wire in your home. GEM installs whole-home surge protectors in Holbrook at your electrical panel, stopping surges before they reach your devices. We also install point-of-use protection for sensitive equipment that needs extra defense.

Holbrook Electrical FAQs
What causes repeated circuit breaker trips in the same room?
Repeated breaker trips in your Holbrook home usually mean one of three things: the circuit is overloaded with too many appliances, connections are getting loose and creating heat, or the breaker itself is wearing out and getting oversensitive. Older homes often don’t have enough circuits for modern electrical demands, especially in kitchens where you might be running several appliances at once. Our electricians can diagnose whether you need additional circuits, connection repairs, or just a new breaker to solve the problem.
How do I know if my electrical panel is adequately sized?
If you’re constantly running portable heaters because you can’t add central air, if your lights dim when appliances kick on, or if you can’t add new equipment without tripping breakers, your panel probably can’t keep up with what your home needs. Holbrook homes planning to add central AC, EV charging, or major appliances should have a professional look at the total electrical demand versus what your panel can actually provide. We assess what you’re using now, what you’re planning to add, and whether your panel has the capacity or whether it’s time for an upgrade.
Can I safely use extension cords permanently for appliances?
Extension cords are meant for temporary use only they’re not a permanent wiring solution. If you’re using extension cords continuously for appliances in your Holbrook home, that’s a sign you don’t have enough outlets or circuit capacity where you need them. Running extension cords under carpets or through walls creates serious fire hazards from physical damage and heat buildup. Daisy-chaining multiple power strips together overloads circuits and connections. The safe solution is having professional electricians install additional outlets with proper wiring and circuit capacity.
What’s the difference between GFCI and AFCI protection?
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection detects when electrical current is leaking to ground which can happen if you drop a hair dryer in water or touch a faulty appliance and it shuts off power instantly to prevent electrocution. You need these in wet locations like kitchens and bathrooms in your Holbrook home. AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection detects dangerous arcing in damaged wiring that can start fires, and it’s now required throughout most living spaces under current Massachusetts codes. Both technologies significantly improve your home’s safety.
How often should I schedule electrical system inspections?
For your Holbrook home, we recommend electrical inspections every three to five years under normal circumstances. If your home is over 25 years old or you’ve had electrical issues in the past, annual inspections make more sense. These checkups identify loose connections, deteriorating components, code violations, and safety hazards before they cause failures or fires. If you join our Home Comfort Club, yearly electrical safety evaluations are included as a standard benefit.
