Expert Solutions for Melrose Homes

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

01

Knob-and-Tube Wiring Remediation

Many Melrose-area homes built before 1950 still carry ungrounded knob-and-tube wiring — often brittle, buried under insulation, and uninsurable. We systematically locate, remove, and replace it with grounded NM-B cable, bringing your home up to current Massachusetts electrical code and restoring insurability.

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

200A Service & Panel Heavy-Ups

If your home still runs on a 60A or 100A service, it wasn't built for central air, an EV charger, or a modern kitchen. We handle the full service upgrade — new meter socket, service entrance conductors, and a 200A load-center panel — coordinated with your utility so the lights come back on the same day.

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

Architectural Recessed & LED Lighting

We design and install recessed can lighting, dimmable LED retrofits, and layered accent lighting that highlights plaster ceilings, crown molding, and open floor plans. Old work boxes and fishing wires mean minimal patching in finished spaces — no torn-open walls required.

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

Verified Feedback from Neighbors in Melrose

Real feedback from local property owners who trusted Parent Electric with their mechanical and home services.

★★★★★

“After a whole-house fire we needed to rebuild 4 floors from top to bottom. Darel was a total life saver - helped us with everything from teeny tiny to giant crises and was incredibly helpful, responsive, and reasonable. We came in blind and hoped for the best, but will use him for literally all of our electrical needs from here out, hands down.”

“I had a great experience with Darell. I called him and he came the very next day to fix an electrical issue we been having. He worked quickly and clearly knew what he was doing. He was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. On top of that, he was very kind and easy to talk to. I really appreciate the fast service and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work done. Thanks again Darell!!!!!!!”
