Straight answer
Yes. Our office is in Danvers, and in Essex County we cover Danvers, Peabody, Salem, Beverly and Lynn, with phones answered 24/7. The work splits along the housing: rewiring and careful lighting in the older houses of Salem and Lynn, panel upgrades, heat pump circuits and EV chargers on the suburban streets of Peabody, Beverly and Danvers, and repairs everywhere.
Old coastal cities, newer suburbs inland
Lynn and Salem are old coastal cities with a deep stock of 19th-century and earlier houses. Their electrical work tends to start with a question about what is in the walls: original knob and tube, layers of later cable, ungrounded outlets and panels that were added in a hurry decades ago. Rewiring there is careful, room-by-room work around plaster and trim, and it is often planned in stages so the house stays livable.
Peabody, Danvers and much of Beverly are more suburban, with older houses mixed in among mid-century and newer homes on larger lots. There the projects lean toward capacity: panel and service upgrades, circuits for heat pumps, EV chargers in the garage and generator connections for winter outages. Each community runs its own permits and inspections, and we file for the work that needs them in whichever one you live in. Older houses turn up on those suburban streets too, so a Beverly or Peabody job can still start with ungrounded outlets or a fuse panel hiding behind a basement door.
Three facts that shape our Essex County work
Essex County holds some of the oldest houses we wire. Salem's McIntire Historic District keeps Federal-era homes from the town's seafaring days, and Lynn's Diamond Historic District is full of large Victorians from the late 1800s. In houses like these the job is mostly about access: fishing new cable through plaster and lath, finding old circuits that were abandoned in place, and fitting modern panels into basements that were never planned for them. We take our time on the walls and tell you up front where patching will be needed.
Why the utility matters on a service upgrade
Any job that changes the service (a new meter socket, a bigger main panel, a relocated mast) needs the utility to disconnect and reconnect. Who that utility is depends on where you live, and in Essex County it is not the same everywhere. Danvers, for example, has its own municipal electric division. We find out up front who serves your address, follow that utility's service requirements and book the shutdown with them, so new equipment is not sitting idle waiting for a reconnect.
The same goes for incentives. EV charger and electrification programs are usually run through the utility, so what a Beverly homeowner qualifies for may differ from what is offered in Danvers. We do not run any program, but we give you the written scope, load calculation and equipment details that applications typically ask for, and we wire to the program's requirements if you enroll. Checking before the equipment is bought is the step that saves the most trouble, because a charger or heat pump that does not match a program's list is hard to swap once it is on the wall.

Our office is in Danvers, which puts the North Shore communities we cover within a short drive. Phones are answered 24/7, so call any time rather than stopping by.
Our listed coverage is Lynn, Salem, Peabody, Beverly and Danvers. If you are close by, call and ask, and we will tell you honestly whether we can take the job.
If the old wiring is limited to a few circuits, fixing those makes sense. If it runs through most of the house, a phased rewire usually costs less over time than repeated repairs. A survey of the circuits tells you which case you are in.
It changes the paperwork and the scheduling. Each utility sets requirements for its side of the connection and books its own disconnect and reconnect. We confirm who serves your address and plan around that utility's process.
