Gaston Electrical

Gaston Electrical has been based on Morse Street in Norwood for generations — the company's own history goes back to 1934, and it currently describes itself as still family-run, in its third generation of ownership. What it does today is built for scale rather than a one-off home job: electrical, low-voltage, and fire-alarm construction for commercial, institutional, life-science, hospitality, and retail clients across Greater Boston, with 24-hour service advertised. Trade coverage has tracked its growth for years. In 2018 it was reported doing the core-and-shell electrical work on Wentworth Institute of Technology's new Engineering, Innovation & Sciences Academic Building, and by 2025 a construction trade publication described it as one of the largest electrical, low-voltage, and fire-alarm contractors in New England. Its Massachusetts electrician license is active, the Better Business Bureau rates it A+, and its Procore Construction Network profile lists 36 completed projects across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. One thing worth asking about directly: several 2022 and 2023 trade articles reported that EMCOR Group — a publicly traded facilities-services company — acquired Gaston Electrical that year, and describe it operating inside EMCOR's electrical construction segment since. That sits oddly next to the company's current claim of third-generation family ownership, and it's worth confirming which describes how the business is run today. This is a contractor built for commercial and institutional projects — a build-out, a fire-alarm system, a larger electrical job — rather than routine home repair work; nothing here speaks to small residential jobs, so confirm scope, minimums, and current ownership before reaching out.
