PROTECTING YOUR HOME & FAMILY
The Critical Importance of Electrical Safety
Faulty switches and outlets are among the leading causes of residential fires. An outdated, damaged, or improperly installed component can lead to dangerous arcing, overheating, and electrical shocks. Our primary focus is ensuring every repair and installation we perform meets or exceeds the National Electrical Code (NEC), providing you with a safe and secure home environment.
Our electricians are highly trained to identify and correct hidden dangers you may not be aware of. This includes replacing old two-prong outlets with grounded three-prong receptacles and installing arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) and ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in required areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. These modern safety devices are essential for preventing fires and electrocution.
Don’t take chances with your family’s safety. By trusting the licensed professionals at Boston Standard, you can be confident that your home’s electrical system is reliable and code-compliant. We use only high-quality materials and proven techniques to deliver lasting solutions that protect what matters most.

HAVE QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve compiled answers to some common questions we receive about our switch and outlet services. If you don’t see your question here, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable team for assistance.
Why is my light switch warm to the touch?
A light switch that feels warm or hot is a sign of a serious problem, likely a loose or faulty connection within the switch. This creates electrical resistance, generating heat that can lead to a fire. You should stop using the switch immediately and call a licensed electrician for an inspection and repair.
What is a GFCI outlet, and where do I need one?
A Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device that quickly shuts off power if it detects an imbalance in the electrical current, preventing dangerous electric shocks. The National Electrical Code requires GFCI outlets in areas where electricity and water may come into contact, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoor locations.
Can you install a dimmer switch for my LED lights?
Yes, we can install dimmer switches that are compatible with LED bulbs. It’s important to use a dimmer specifically designed for LEDs to prevent flickering or buzzing and ensure proper performance. Our electricians can help you select the right dimmer for your lighting setup.
Should I upgrade my two-prong outlets to three-prong?
Absolutely. Two-prong outlets are ungrounded and lack a crucial safety feature that protects you and your electronics from electrical faults. Upgrading to a modern, grounded three-prong outlet is a vital safety improvement for any older home. Our electricians can assess your wiring and perform the upgrade safely.
Why do my lights flicker when I use an appliance?
Flickering lights often indicate that a circuit is overloaded. When a large appliance like a microwave or vacuum cleaner turns on, it draws a lot of power, causing a temporary voltage drop that makes lights dim or flicker. If this happens frequently, it may be a sign that you need a dedicated circuit for the appliance or that your electrical panel needs an upgrade.
Still Have Questions About Your Electrical System?
Your home’s electrical system can be complex, and it’s natural to have questions. Our friendly and experienced team is always here to provide clear answers and expert advice.
