Pouring money into custom millwork, imported stone, and a kitchen you waited two years for, only to have the lights buzz or a breaker trip every time your espresso machine and the induction range run together, is a frustrating way to live in a beautiful home. Craig Faria Electrician has handled high-end residential electrical work in and around Taunton, MA, since 1996, and we understand that a finished home leaves no room for sloppy installs or a crew tracking dust across white oak floors. Getting the wiring right behind the walls is what lets everything in front of them actually work.
Working out of Taunton, MA, Craig Faria Electrician provides licensed electrical services across Bristol and Plymouth counties. Our crew specializes in luxury custom homes and custom home additions, covering whole-home wiring, designer lighting installations, smart home integration, electrical remodels, panel upgrades, dedicated circuits, and generator installation.
The complaint sounds minor at first. Pendant lights over the island flicker when the HVAC kicks on. A dimmer hums. The theater room loses power once a month for no reason anybody can explain, and the smart lighting scenes work about eighty percent of the time.
What's behind it is usually a mismatch between how the house was wired and how it actually gets used. Builder-grade electrical work assumes a standard load and a standard layout, so a home running a wine cellar, radiant floors, a pool heater, a home gym, and a rack of audio-visual equipment ends up asking far more of those circuits than they were ever meant to carry. Add lighting controls that were installed by someone unfamiliar with the system, and small annoyances start stacking up.
Correcting it means treating the whole house as one system instead of chasing symptoms room by room. A licensed high-end residential electrician like us will run a load calculation on the existing service, map what's actually sharing circuits, evaluate the panel, and look at how the lighting controls were programmed and terminated. From there, we lay out what needs to change, which might mean a service upgrade, dedicated circuits for the equipment causing trouble, rewiring sections that were undersized, or reworking the control system so it behaves the way it was supposed to from day one. Drop cloths and floor protection go down first, and we work around your schedule rather than the other way around.
The result is a home that quietly does its job. Lights hold steady, scenes fire every time, nothing trips, and there's headroom left for whatever you add next. Homeowners tell us the biggest change is simply not thinking about it anymore.
Here's a closer look at the work we take on for custom homes throughout Southeastern Massachusetts.
Sensitive and high-draw equipment performs better with a circuit of its own. Home theaters, wine refrigeration, workshop tools, pool equipment, and electric vehicle (EV) chargers all fall into this category, and giving each one its own run eliminates the interference and nuisance tripping that comes from sharing. Planning these during a build costs a fraction of adding them later.
Lighting shapes how a room feels more than almost anything else in it. Layered plans combining recessed cans, cove and toe-kick lighting, statement fixtures, under-cabinet runs, and exterior accents get installed to the locations your designer or architect specified, with attention to fixture weight, dimmer compatibility, and color temperature consistency across the house.
Renovating an existing home means working inside walls that were built without much thought for the person coming after. Plaster, tight joist bays, knob-and-tube remnants, and additions layered on over the decades all show up regularly in older properties around here. As a luxury residential electrical contractor, our crew handles those conditions carefully and keeps the mess contained to the area we're working in.
Losing power in a large home affects more than the lights, from failed sump pumps to a wine cellar drifting out of temperature range. Generac and Kohler standby units handle whole-home coverage or a selected set of critical circuits, and installation includes proper sizing, the pad, gas connection coordination, and an automatic transfer switch.
Older services simply run out of room once a home grows. Upgrading brings in a properly sized panel, updated metering, and the capacity to support additions, outbuildings, and the equipment modern homes carry. Good custom home electrical services always start with confirming the service can support the plan before the first circuit gets pulled.
Automated lighting, shades, climate, security, and audio only work as well as the wiring and programming behind them. Our team handles the rough-in for control systems, low-voltage pathways, network runs, and the panel work these systems depend on, then coordinates with your integrator through commissioning. Experienced custom home electricians like us plan this early, since retrofitting control wiring into finished walls is nobody's idea of fun.
New builds give us the chance to do everything right from the start. Service and panel layout, circuit planning, device placement, lighting rough-in, low-voltage pathways, and generator provisions all get mapped out with your builder before framing closes up. A residential new construction electrician who thinks a few years ahead saves you from opening walls back up down the road, which is why luxury home electrical services benefit so much from early involvement.
From busy restaurants to office buildings and retail spaces, we provide commercial electrical services that keep daily operations running smoothly. Our team handles generator installations, tenant improvements, maintenance, service upgrades, troubleshooting, and service calls with careful planning and clean workmanship.
Manufacturing facilities rely on electrical systems that can handle demanding equipment and long operating hours. We offer industrial electrical services such as machine wiring, generator installation, power distribution, preventive maintenance, equipment installation, and troubleshooting when something isn't working as it should.
Keeping several units powered and maintained can be a lot to manage, especially when tenants need repairs handled quickly. Our multifamily electrical services cover apartment complexes, condominium communities, and other multiunit properties, including common-area lighting, generators, renovations, maintenance, and service upgrades.
An older panel may struggle to support modern appliances, new equipment, or an expanding property. We perform electrical panel upgrades and service changes, including breaker and meter replacements, capacity increases, code-related updates, service upgrades, and emergency panel replacements.
Before a new building can use power, the underground system has to be planned around the site, utility requirements, and future electrical demand. Our underground utility and primary electrical services include trenching coordination, conduit installation, underground distribution, transformer connections, service entrances, and new construction infrastructure.
A fire alarm system needs to alert occupants properly and meet the requirements that apply to the building. We install and service fire alarm systems, including addressable equipment, new construction systems, upgrades, replacement devices, and code-related improvements.
When lights flicker, equipment stops working, or a circuit keeps tripping, finding the source is usually more helpful than guessing at the fix. Our electrical service calls and repairs include emergency service, outage assistance, lighting and equipment repairs, troubleshooting, and support for commercial and industrial properties.
Homeowners and builders come back to us for reasons that have little to do with wiring alone.
Problems that can't wait until morning get a response from us, because losing power in a large home creates headaches fast.
Generac and Kohler supply the standby generators we install, since equipment protecting a home like yours has to start every single time.
A one-year workmanship warranty backs everything we complete, giving you a clear answer if anything ever needs revisiting.
Over 20 years spanning residential, commercial, and industrial projects inform how our crew approaches a custom home, and our place in the Massachusetts Electrical Contractors Association keeps us up to speed on code.
Yes, a well-planned system can connect lighting controls, climate settings, security features, audio equipment, and selected appliances. High-end residential electrical services work best when the electrician coordinates these features before framing and finish work begins.
Most new wiring, panel work, additions, and major electrical alterations require a permit and inspection in Massachusetts. For high-end residential electrical services in Taunton, the electrician should coordinate local filings and inspections as part of the project schedule.
Bring an electrician into the conversation during the design stage, before the builder finalizes framing, cabinetry, and fixture locations. Early planning allows high-end residential electrical services to account for lighting layouts, panel capacity, dedicated circuits, generator placement, and future technology.
Start with how you'll use each room, then consider layered lighting, dimmers, charging locations, specialty appliance circuits, smart controls, outdoor power, and standby generation. High-end residential electrical services can turn those choices into an organized wiring and panel plan before construction moves forward.
Large appliances, workshop equipment, home technology, and other high-demand features can overload general-use circuits when they share too much power. High-end residential electrical services provide dedicated circuits when the equipment instructions or electrical code call for them.
