M.W. Burns Electrical Contractors has been an electrical shop in Medford since 1968 — 58 years by the company's own count, and its BBB profile dates the business to the same year. Its site covers both sides of the trade: residential repairs and installations, plus commercial audits, installations and build-outs, with Cambridge named as the service area. The commercial work extends to the code-required pieces of a building, exit signs among them. On Google, three ratings average 5 stars. For a repair, a new installation or an electrical audit from a shop that has worked out of the same Medford address for decades, Burns is a reasonable call. Ask for the electrician's licence number, proof of insurance, and a written scope and price before anyone opens a wall. Massachusetts lists its electrician licence, 7977-EL-A, as active, held by Martin W Burns.
“January 31, 2020: M.W. Burns Electrical Contractors recently completed installation of mandated Exit Signs on all floors and at all doors.”
