Dennis, MA Electrical Services
Coastal conditions and seasonal use create electrical challenges that mainland homes don’t face.
Salt air corrodes outdoor equipment, vacant properties develop problems unnoticed, and Cape Cod’s housing spans generations of wiring standards. When electrical issues appear, you need an electrician who knows what Cape properties require.
GEM Plumbing & Heating Services, LLC has provided Dennis electrical services since 1949. Our licensed electricians handle repairs, installations, and upgrades throughout all five villages. Give us a call or contact us online today for electrical services in Dennis.

Dennis Electrical Safety Starts With the Right Electrician
Electrical problems are warning signs you shouldn’t ignore.
Lights that flicker when you run the AC. Breakers that trip without obvious cause. Outlets that won’t hold a plug anymore. These aren’t minor annoyances. They’re signals that something in your electrical system needs professional attention. GEM’s licensed Dennis electricians identify problems accurately and resolve them correctly. We explain what’s happening, present straightforward options, and restore safe, reliable power to your home.

Dennis Electrical Services
From emergency repairs to panel upgrades and rewiring, GEM handles every electrical need in your Dennis home.
Whether facing an immediate problem or planning improvements, our licensed Dennis electricians deliver safe, code-compliant work. Here’s what we provide:
Emergency Electrical
Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
Sparking outlets, burning smells, complete power loss. These situations demand immediate action. Waiting until morning isn’t safe when your family’s wellbeing is at stake. GEM’s licensed electricians answer emergency calls 24/7 across Dennis. We arrive quickly, identify the problem, and make your home safe. Whether it’s a main breaker failure at midnight or a scorched outlet during a summer gathering, we handle urgent electrical situations when they happen.
Electrical Installation
New electrical work requires expertise, precision, and professional execution.
Proper electrical installation demands the skills and knowledge only trained electricians possess. Whether adding circuits, upgrading your panel, or installing new fixtures, accuracy and safety determine long-term success. GEM provides professional electrical installation throughout Dennis. Our team understands that systems must be installed correctly to deliver lasting safety, efficiency, and reliability.
Electrical Repair
Daily use creates wear that eventually shows as flickering lights, unreliable outlets, or tripping breakers.
Every switch flip and plug insertion gradually wears electrical components. Over time, this leads to problems like inconsistent lighting, outlets that don’t work reliably, or circuits that trip without obvious cause. Ignoring these symptoms invites greater risk. GEM’s electrical repairs restore your systems to safe, proper operation. Our team diagnoses and resolves electrical issues of any scope, ensuring safe, efficient, dependable function.
Electrical Maintenance
Routine maintenance spots small issues before they develop into safety hazards.
Electrical systems experience wear over time that affects performance. For seasonal properties, problems can develop unnoticed during months of vacancy. Leaving minor problems unaddressed raises the risk of safety issues, reduced efficiency, or expensive damage to wiring and appliances. Scheduled electrical maintenance catches problems early and keeps your system running smoothly. GEM’s electricians conduct thorough inspections, tighten connections, test components, and confirm everything meets safety standards.
Generators
Cape Cod sees power outages from storms, and generators keep essential systems running until power returns.
For seasonal properties, a generator protects against damage from extended outages when you’re not there to respond. Sump pumps, refrigerators, and heating systems all need power to prevent costly problems. GEM installs, repairs, and maintains whole-home generators for Dennis homeowners who refuse to be left without power.
- Generator Repair: Generator won’t start? Running without producing adequate power? Making unusual sounds? Our technicians diagnose and resolve generator problems so your backup system stands ready for the next storm.
- Generator Replacement: Aging generators lose reliability over time. If yours starts reluctantly, runs unevenly, or struggles with current demands, a modern replacement delivers improved performance and better fuel efficiency.
- Generator Maintenance: Annual service ensures generators remain dependable through storm season. We verify fluids, test batteries, examine connections, conduct load tests, and confirm transfer switches function correctly. A maintained generator starts when you need it.
- Generator Installation: GEM provides generator installation in Dennis with units that connect directly to your electrical panel and engage within seconds of an outage. We help determine the right capacity for your needs and handle all installation, permitting, and testing.
Indoor & Outdoor Lighting
Proper lighting enhances Cape homes inside and out, from living spaces to landscape features.
Proper fixtures in optimal positions make your home more functional, inviting, and attractive. Inadequate lighting strains eyes, wastes electricity, and makes spaces feel cramped. GEM’s electricians design and install lighting systems matched to your lifestyle, from task lighting where you work to ambient lighting where you relax to security lighting outside.
- Outdoor Lighting: GEM installs outdoor lighting in Dennis using corrosion-resistant fixtures designed for coastal conditions. We illuminate paths, driveways, decks, and landscape features with weather-resistant equipment that holds up to salt air exposure.
- Indoor Lighting: GEM provides indoor lighting installation in Dennis including recessed fixtures, pendant lights, under-cabinet LEDs, and dimmer controls. We install lighting that complements your home while improving how each space functions. Energy-efficient options reduce electricity costs without sacrificing brightness.

Additional Electrical Services
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
These devices save lives, but only when they function properly.
Carbon monoxide is invisible and odorless. Smoke detectors provide crucial minutes to escape fires. Dead batteries, expired sensors, and poor placement render these lifesaving devices useless. GEM installs hardwired smoke and CO detectors with battery backup throughout Dennis homes. We position units according to code, interconnect them so all alarms activate together, and confirm your family has adequate warning time.
Smart Home
Control your home’s systems from your phone or through voice commands.
Smart thermostats, automated lighting, video doorbells, connected locks. These conveniences simplify daily life and can reduce energy expenses. For vacation property owners, smart devices let you monitor your Dennis home from anywhere. GEM installs and configures smart home technology, ensuring devices communicate properly and your electrical system supports them. We help Dennis homeowners embrace modern convenience without connectivity headaches.
Heat Cabling Systems
Electric heat cables prevent costly winter damage in Cape Cod homes.
Ice dams damage roofs and cause leaks. Pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces freeze and burst. Heat cables address both problems effectively, and they’re especially valuable for seasonal properties that sit vacant during winter months. GEM installs roof and gutter heat cables that melt ice before it accumulates, plus pipe heat cables that maintain water flow during cold snaps. Proper installation and thermostatic controls ensure cables run only when necessary, managing energy costs sensibly.
EV Charger Installation
Charge your electric vehicle overnight at home.
Public charging handles occasional needs, but daily drivers need dependable overnight charging. Level 2 chargers add 25 to 30 miles of range per hour, providing full charges while you sleep instead of detours to public stations. GEM provides EV charger installation in Dennis for all vehicle makes and models. We evaluate your panel capacity, install dedicated circuits, and position chargers conveniently for your garage or driveway.
Outlets
Modern households need more outlets positioned throughout living spaces.
Two-prong outlets reject grounded plugs. Kitchen and bathroom outlets require GFCI protection. Home offices need sufficient receptacles to avoid hazardous power strip chains. Outdoor outlets demand weatherproof enclosures. GEM installs, replaces, and upgrades outlets throughout Dennis homes. We add circuits for expanded capacity, install required GFCI and AFCI protection, and replace worn outlets that no longer hold plugs securely.
Electrical Panels
Your panel distributes power to every circuit throughout your home.
Outdated panels can’t meet modern electrical demands. Overloaded circuits result in tripped breakers, dimming lights, and fire hazards. Panels containing obsolete technology like Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers carry documented safety risks. Many older Cape homes have panels that were sized for a different era of electrical use. GEM provides electrical panel upgrades in Dennis to satisfy current codes and handle today’s loads. We also service existing panels, replace failing breakers, and add circuits when your home needs expanded capacity.
Rewiring & Wiring Installation
Original wiring wasn’t designed for how we use electricity today.
Many Dennis homes contain wiring engineered for basic loads, not today’s appliances, electronics, and devices. Vintage beach cottages and historic homes often have electrical systems that need updating to safely handle modern demands. GEM provides rewiring services in Dennis safely and with minimal disruption. Whether updating one room or rewiring your entire home, our electricians work carefully around existing finishes while bringing everything to current code.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
Storms and grid fluctuations expose Dennis homes to damaging power surges.
Computers, televisions, smart appliances, HVAC systems with electronic controls. A brief surge damages them all. Power strips provide incomplete protection, and surges can enter homes through multiple pathways. GEM installs whole-home surge protectors in Dennis at your electrical panel, stopping surges before they reach your equipment. We also add point-of-use protection for sensitive devices needing extra defense.

Dennis Electrical FAQs
Does salt air damage electrical equipment?
Yes. Coastal exposure accelerates corrosion on outdoor panels, disconnects, AC units, and generator enclosures. Annual inspections catch deterioration early. For homes closest to the water, we can recommend corrosion-resistant equipment options.
Should I upgrade my panel in an older Cape home?
If your home has a fuse box, Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, or breakers that trip frequently, upgrading improves safety and capacity. Many older Cape homes were wired for far fewer electrical demands than modern households require.
How do I protect my vacation property from electrical problems?
Smart devices let you monitor conditions remotely. Surge protection guards against storm damage. Having the electrical system inspected before closing for winter and after opening in spring catches problems early. GEM’s Home Comfort Club includes scheduled inspections.
What size generator do I need for my Dennis home?
It depends on what you want to power during an outage. A generator sized for critical circuits handles refrigeration, sump pumps, some lighting, and heating system controls. Whole-home backup costs more but powers everything. We assess your needs and recommend appropriate sizing.
Can I add outlets to a room without rewiring the whole house?
Often yes, if existing circuits have capacity and we can route new wiring to the location. We evaluate your current setup and explain what’s possible. Sometimes adding a circuit makes more sense than overloading an existing one.
