Verified record
When an insurance company threatened to drop coverage on a Cambridge triple-decker over old knob-and-tube wiring, Excalibur Electrical rewired the affected sections room by room so the tenants could keep living there, and handed over documentation the insurer accepted. That kind of code-driven, paperwork-ready fix has become a specialty for this Massachusetts electrician, whose electrician license is active on the state registry, working mostly around Cambridge, Somerville and Boston on residential wiring, panel work and lighting. Twenty reviews run from 2022 to this year, with the pace picking up heavily this summer — fifteen of them landed in just the past six months. Recent jobs include tracking down frequent breaker trips and replacing the faulty components the same day, sizing new dedicated circuits properly for a home office instead of adding a single general outlet the way a previous electrician had, and bringing exposed basement wiring up to code after a home inspector flagged it during a refinance, with documentation supplied for the loan paperwork. Other recent work covers smart-switch installs that paired correctly on the first try, a kitchen lighting conversion from an old fluorescent panel to warmer track lighting with the ceiling patched afterward, and outdoor fixtures positioned and tested individually before the crew left. Further back, a 2022 review called the team professional, responsive and thorough, and another from that year described a quick, painless outlet addition on a dedicated line. There isn't a documented complaint to flag here — every review, from 2022 through this year, describes the work as resolved cleanly and safely. The company's BuildZoom listing doesn't carry its own verified license or reviews, so the state registry, not that directory, is the place to confirm licensing. For anything from a quick repair to bringing old wiring up to code for an insurer or a home inspector, Excalibur is a solid call around Cambridge and Somerville — mention any documentation you'll need for insurance, a refinance, or code compliance, since past customers say the company supplies that paperwork as part of the job.

had a home office added and needed dedicated circuits for all the equipment near Cambridge, kept tripping the breaker before we called anyone. electrician sized the new circuits properly for the actual load instead of just adding one general outlet like the last guy did
Old knob-and-tube wiring in a Cambridge triple-decker had us worried about insurance coverage, our provider was threatening to drop us over it. They rewired the affected sections room by room so we could keep living there, gave us documentation the insurance company actually accepted.
I needed an electrician in Cambridge after several outlets started acting inconsistently. The electrician checked the circuit carefully, identified the issue, and explained the repair before getting started. I appreciated the professional approach and attention to safety.
