Expert Solutions for Cambridge Homes

From scheduled maintenance to major infrastructure overhauls, executed to the highest trade standards.

01

Knob-and-Tube Wiring Remediation

Many Cambridge homes built before 1950 still carry cloth-insulated knob-and-tube wiring that is brittle, ungrounded, and often rejected by insurers. We carefully replace it with modern copper branch circuits — fishing wires through plaster and lath with minimal disturbance and bringing every circuit up to current NEC code.

  • ✓ Code-compliant installation
  • ✓ Upfront agreed pricing
  • ✓ Workmanship warranty included
02

200A Service Panel Heavy-Ups

If your home is still running on a 60A or 100A service, it wasn't built for heat pumps, EV chargers, or modern appliance loads. We handle the full upgrade — new 200A load center, meter socket, grounding, and utility coordination — so your electrical system has headroom for decades.

  • ✓ Code-compliant installation
  • ✓ Upfront agreed pricing
  • ✓ Workmanship warranty included
03

Architectural Recessed & Accent Lighting

We design and install recessed can lighting, cove lighting, and dimmable LED systems that complement period details rather than fight them. That means careful layout for plaster ceilings, insulation-contact housings where needed, and clean patch-ready cuts that preserve your home's character.

  • ✓ Code-compliant installation
  • ✓ Upfront agreed pricing
  • ✓ Workmanship warranty included

Verified Feedback from Neighbors in Cambridge

Real feedback from local property owners who trusted Riverside Electrical Services for reliable, high-quality service.

★★★★★

“Never showed up in scheduled window, waiting an hour and a half. Electrician also did not respond to requests for updates on his arrival status. Completely unacceptable and inconsiderate of people's time.”
