Built on Experience Since 2002

Not every electrical contractor is built the same way. Some chase large commercial bids or high-volume new construction turnover.


N Electric takes a different approach. Our business is built entirely around residential electrical services and homeowner priorities.


Experience matters in residential work. Every home is different, and older systems in the North Shore often come with "surprises" that require more than a one-size-fits-all solution.


Over the decades, we have worked on a wide range of properties—from vintage homes that need careful troubleshooting to modern builds requiring high-capacity upgrades for today’s electrical demands.


This local experience helps us identify issues efficiently and make practical recommendations that support the long-term needs of your home.

"Outstanding work by N Electric! Scott and Dave went above and beyond… literally... from our attic to crawl space and all points in between to solve electrical issues related to a kitchen remodel. They also completed multiple “extras” such as hanging light fixtures all over the house, adding an outlet in the garage for the repurposed refrigerator, etc. They were professional, efficient, and just plain nice. Excellent experience. Highly recommend!!"
