Somerville is known for dense triple-deckers, older single-family homes, condo conversions, and active redevelopment around Assembly Row, Davis Square, Union Square, and nearby transit corridors. Many properties were built before today's appliance, HVAC, EV charging, and work-from-home electrical demands were common.
Because Somerville homes are often compact, layered with prior renovations, and split into multiple units, electrical planning needs to account for shared walls, tight basements, older panels, and tenant schedules. Upgrades must support modern loads while keeping projects organized in buildings where access and parking can be challenging.
Justus Electric helps Somerville owners modernize aging electrical systems with targeted troubleshooting, panel work, lighting improvements, and circuit additions. The approach is especially useful for triple-deckers, condos, older homes needing upgrades, and small businesses in neighborhood squares.
