Notices to homeowners
Local knowledge for the South Coast.
The electrical problems here are shaped by the water, the weather and the age of the houses.
Cottages gone year-round
Summer places from Onset to Pocasset now carry heat pumps, kitchens and EVs on services built for a few lights. Plan the upgrade once.
Nor'easters
Wind, surge and long outages on tree-lined lines. A generator inlet with an interlock keeps the well pump and the heat running, safely.

Straight answers
Electrical questions, answered.
34 answers for homeowners on the South Coast and upper Cape: storms, generators, older Capes and cottages, panels, EV chargers, heat pumps and Massachusetts permits.
All 34 answersWhat should I do if I smell burning near an outlet, switch or the panel?
If it's safe to reach, turn off the breaker for that area, or the main breaker, and call an electrician. If you see smoke or fire, get everyone out and call 911 from outside.
How do I know if my home needs a panel or service upgrade?
Common signs: a fuse box or a 60- or 100-amp service, a panel with no open spaces, frequent tripping, a panel brand with a poor record, or plans to add a heat pump, EV charger, electric range or addition.
What's the safe way to connect a portable generator to my house?
Through a power inlet and either a panel interlock or a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician. That setup makes it physically impossible to feed the utility lines while the generator runs.
What does a Level 2 EV charger need?
Usually a dedicated 240-volt circuit of 40 to 60 amps, either hardwired to the charger or to a NEMA 14-50 receptacle, plus room in the panel and enough service capacity.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Massachusetts?
For nearly all electrical installation work, yes. Permits are issued by your town's inspector of wires, through the building department, and they're taken out by the licensed electrician doing the work.
