About Us

About Bent Electrical Contractors

Bent Electrical Contractors has spent years wiring the homes and businesses that make Somerville, Cambridge, and the surrounding communities run. Our crews show up on time, protect your floors and furniture, and treat every property like it's our own — because in a neighborhood this tight-knit, our name is only as good as our last job.

Somerville's housing stock presents challenges you won't find in a suburban subdivision: century-old triple-deckers still running on knob-and-tube wiring, panels stuck at 60A or 100A that can't keep up with modern EV chargers and central air, and plaster walls that make retrofitting layered, architectural recessed lighting a real craft. We've built our practice around solving exactly these problems — safely, to code, and without tearing your home apart.

Whether it's a full knob-and-tube remediation, a heavy-up to 200A service, or a lighting layout that finally makes your kitchen renovation look finished, we walk you through the plan and the price before we ever pick up a tool. No vague estimates, no upselling — just straightforward electrical work from people who live and work in this community.
