Managing a building full of tenants means fielding calls about dead outlets, dark stairwells, and breakers that trip every time somebody runs a space heater, usually all in the same week. Craig Faria Electrician has handled multifamily electrical services in and around Taunton, MA, since 1996, and we know that a vacant unit waiting on an electrician costs you rent while an unhappy tenant costs you a renewal. Having one dependable crew for every property on your list takes a lot of that weight off your shoulders.
Craig Faria Electrician is a Taunton, MA-based electrical contractor serving Bristol and Plymouth counties. Our crew works with apartment complexes, condominium communities, multiunit residential buildings, and property management companies, covering generator installation, common area lighting, electrical maintenance, unit renovations, and service upgrades.
It usually starts small. One tenant in 3B complains that the bedroom outlets stopped working. A month later somebody in 2A says their lights dim whenever the neighbor runs the microwave. Then the hallway lights on the second floor go out and stay out, and suddenly you're getting three calls a week about the same building.
The cause almost always traces back to a building whose electrical system was designed for a very different era. A lot of multiunit properties around here were wired in the sixties and seventies, when each apartment ran a fridge, a TV, and not much else. Now every unit has a window AC, a gaming setup, and someone charging three devices on the same circuit. Add decades of patch repairs from whoever the last owner hired, and you've got a system running right at its limit with no margin left.
Straightening it out starts with a full assessment rather than another one-off repair. A licensed multifamily electrician like us will evaluate the main service, check the individual unit panels, trace the shared circuits, and figure out which problems are isolated and which point to something bigger. From there, we lay out a plan you can actually budget for, whether that means upgrading the service, replacing failing panels, splitting overloaded circuits, or updating the common area lighting to LED. Work gets scheduled around turnovers and tenant notice requirements so nobody's blindsided.
The payoff shows up in your inbox. Service calls drop off, units turn over on schedule instead of sitting empty, and your maintenance budget stops getting eaten by emergency repairs. Residents notice too, though mostly by not having anything to complain about.
Here's a closer look at the work we handle for residential properties across Southeastern Massachusetts.
Hallways, stairwells, laundry rooms, and parking areas set the tone for how safe a property feels. Our team installs and maintains lighting throughout these spaces, including LED retrofits that cut energy costs and drastically reduce how often somebody has to swap a bulb. Emergency and exit lighting gets attention too, since those are the fixtures inspectors look at first.
Regular attention keeps small problems from becoming expensive ones. Scheduled visits let us catch loose connections, aging breakers, failing fixtures, and worn receptacles before a tenant ever notices something is wrong. Property managers running several buildings often put us on a rotation, which makes property management electrical services a lot easier to budget across the portfolio.
Extended outages create real problems in a residential building, from failed sump pumps to elevators stuck between floors. Generac and Kohler standby units keep essential systems running, and we handle load calculations, installation, and automatic transfer so the switchover happens on its own. Larger complexes and condominium communities benefit most, especially those with underground parking or shared mechanical systems.
Old services simply weren't built for how people live now. Upgrading means a properly sized main service, updated metering, new panels where needed, and enough capacity to support modern loads across every unit. Buildings planning renovations or adding amenities usually need this handled before anything else can move forward, and it's a common starting point for condominium electrical services in older properties.
Dead circuits, flickering lights, tripping breakers, and outlets that quit working make up a steady share of what we do. Our experienced apartment building electrician finds the actual cause instead of resetting the breaker and moving on, which is what keeps the same unit from generating another ticket next month. Repairs get documented so you have a record of what was done and where.
Turnovers move fast, and electrical work sitting incomplete holds up everything else. Rewiring, added circuits, fixture upgrades, ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) protection, and panel replacements all fit into the renovation schedule, and our crew coordinates with your other trades to keep things moving. Owners handling rental property electrical services across multiple units appreciate that we show up when we said we would and leave the space clean.
New construction and gut rehabs call for a plan that accounts for every unit and every shared system. Feeders, meter banks, unit panels, house panels, and common circuits all get laid out before the work begins, which is standard practice for us on apartment complex electrical services. A well-organized multiunit residential electrician approach up front saves years of confusion for whoever services the building later.
Growing a business usually means adding equipment, and that new oven or compressor needs more power than the room was wired for. Commercial electrical services are our specialty for restaurants, retail, and office buildings, whether you're adding circuits for new gear, upgrading the service, wiring a tenant space, installing a generator, or scheduling regular maintenance.
Plant shutdowns are short, expensive, and planned months ahead, so the electrical work has to land inside that window. Industrial electrical services from our crew cover machine wiring, equipment installation, power distribution, generator systems, and preventive maintenance, along with troubleshooting when a process stops for no obvious reason.
Renovating an older estate means working around plaster walls, tight access, and details worth protecting. High-end residential electrical services from Craig Faria Electrician suit those projects well, with whole-home rewiring, custom lighting, smart home integration, dedicated circuits, panel upgrades, and standby generators, handled carefully in homes where damage isn't an option.
Home inspections have a way of turning up panel problems right when you're trying to close on a sale. Our electrical panel upgrades and service changes clear those hurdles fast through panel replacement, breaker and meter work, increased capacity, and code corrections that satisfy inspectors and insurers alike.
Feeding a barn, shop, or guest house across the property takes more than running wire and hoping for the best. Our underground utility and primary electrical services cover that and much bigger jobs, including primary underground utilities, distribution, conduit and service entrance installation, transformer connections, and full infrastructure for new construction.
Repeat false alarms tend to bring fines from the fire department and a lot of eye rolling from tenants. We install, upgrade, and service fire alarm systems throughout commercial buildings, addressing failing devices and code items that come up during inspections.
Intermittent problems are the worst kind, since everything works fine until it doesn't and you can never show anyone. Our electrical service calls and repairs cover the whole range, from a receptacle that quit and lights that flicker to storm damage, tripped circuits nobody can explain, and emergency response for businesses and industrial sites.
Property managers keep our number handy for a few good reasons.
Tenant emergencies don't wait for Monday morning, so we take after-hours calls when a building needs help right away.
Standby power on our jobs comes from Generac and Kohler, equipment we trust to carry a full building through an outage.
Work we complete is covered by a one-year workmanship warranty, so you're never left wondering who's responsible if something comes up.
Two decades and counting across residential, commercial, and industrial projects shape how our crew handles a busy property, and membership in the Massachusetts Electrical Contractors Association keeps our team current on code requirements.
Massachusetts generally requires electrical contractors to obtain permits for their work and arrange an inspection with the local wiring inspector. For multifamily electrical services in Taunton, the contractor should include permit and inspection steps in the renovation schedule.
Keep repair records by unit, note repeated breaker or outlet issues, and maintain shared panels, lighting, and service equipment on a planned schedule. Multifamily electrical services can use that history to address ongoing causes rather than treating each tenant complaint as an unrelated problem.
The right schedule depends on the property's age, occupancy, equipment condition, repair history, and manufacturer recommendations. A multifamily electrical service may check heavily used common spaces and critical building equipment more frequently than low-use areas.
Unit renovations may involve relocating receptacles, updating lighting, replacing worn devices, adding kitchen or laundry circuits, and checking whether the existing panel can support the changes. Multifamily electrical services also coordinate inspections and electrical work with turnover dates, other trades, and occupied neighboring units.
Consider an evaluation when several units experience breaker problems, modern appliances raise demand, old panels become difficult to maintain, or common building systems leave little available capacity. A multifamily electrical service can review building-wide and individual unit loads before recommending panel or service changes.
