Your Electrician in Worcester, MA
Gourley Electric is a locally run electrical company serving homes and businesses in Worcester and the towns around it. We handle the small stuff and the big stuff. A single outlet that quit. A full panel swap. New circuits for a heat pump, a hot tub, or a whole kitchen remodel. Here's how we work. We look at the job, we tell you what it takes, and you get a price before anyone picks up a tool. If we find something unexpected behind the wall, we stop and talk it over with you first. No surprise bills. And when we leave, the only sign we were there is that everything works. Own a house? Manage a rental? Run a shop on Main Street? You get the same careful work and straight answers either way.

What We Do
From quick fixes to full installs, all of it wired to Massachusetts code.
Panel Upgrades & 200-Amp Service
Old fuse box? Breakers that trip all the time? We replace tired panels and bring homes up to 200 amps so there's room for everything you're adding.
Wiring & Rewiring
New circuits, remodel wiring for kitchens and baths, and a second look at older wiring that's been in the walls a long time.
Outlets & Switches
New outlets where you actually need them. Dead ones brought back. Dimmers, GFCIs, and dedicated circuits for big appliances.
Recessed & LED Lighting
Recessed lights, under cabinet lighting, ceiling fixtures. Lighting plans that make a room feel brand new.
Landscape Lighting
Path lights, gate lights, and exterior fixtures that make the yard usable after dark and look sharp doing it.
Heat Pump & AC Wiring
Dedicated circuits, disconnects, and final connections for heat pumps and AC equipment. We coordinate with your HVAC crew so it all lands the same day.
Generators & Transfer Switches
Whole home generator hookups with automatic transfer switches, so the lights stay on when the street goes dark.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 charging at home. We run the circuit, mount the charger, and make sure your panel can handle it.

Panel Swap, Start To Finish
This one had wires running everywhere and a panel that was long past its day. We pulled it, set a new one, and labeled every circuit so the next person knows exactly what is what.

Multi Family Meter Bank
Six units feeding off a tired old bank on a fieldstone wall. New meters, new conduit, everything squared up and run clean.

Straight Answers
Why Worcester Calls Gourley
Electrical work isn't something you want to guess at. So we keep it simple. We explain what the work involves in plain language, not trade talk. You decide what happens next, and we never push. Small jobs like outlets, switches, and fixtures are often done in one visit. Bigger work like panel replacements and remodel wiring gets scheduled around your day and whatever permits the city wants because nobody needs their kitchen torn open longer than it has to be. And if we spot a safety problem while we're in there? We point it out, explain your options, and let you make the call. Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners all get the same thing from us. Careful work, straight answers, and a clean job site when we're done.

Real Questions We Get
Questions Worcester Asks Us
What do most electricians charge per hour?
Around here most licensed electricians land somewhere between 100 and 150 dollars an hour. Some jobs get priced by the hour and some by the project. We quote the whole job up front, so you know the number before we start. Not after.
How much do electricians charge to change an outlet?
For a straightforward swap, most people in our area pay somewhere in the 100 to 250 dollar range. If the wiring behind it is tired or the box needs work, it can run more. We'll tell you exactly what yours needs when we look at it.
Do electricians do HVAC work?
We don't install the heat pump itself, but we do all the electrical for it. Dedicated circuits, disconnects, and the final connections that give your equipment safe, correctly sized power. We can coordinate with your HVAC installer so everything lines up on the same day.
How do I know if my panel needs to be upgraded?
Watch for breakers that trip often, lights that dim when an appliance kicks on, a panel with no room left, or an older fuse box. Any of those is worth a look. We'll tell you honestly whether it needs replacing or whether a smaller fix will do the job.
Do you handle both homes and businesses?
Yes. Homes, rentals, stores, and offices all get the same care. Residential work like lighting, outlets, panels, and repairs. Commercial jobs like office lighting, new circuits for equipment, and troubleshooting.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Worcester?
Sometimes. Panel changes, new circuits, and most remodel wiring need a permit. Small repairs and fixture swaps usually don't. When your job needs one, we file it and meet the inspector, and we'll tell you which group your job falls in before we begin.
Can you install an EV charger at my house?
Yes. We run the dedicated circuit, mount the charger, and make sure your panel can handle the load. Most Level 2 home chargers are up and running in a single visit.
