Licensed Electrician Serving Leicester, MA
Bergeron Contracting serves Leicester, Cherry Valley and Rochdale with licensed, permitted electrical work for homes, rentals and small commercial properties.
Electrical Services for Leicester Homes and Businesses
Leicester is really several communities under one town government. Leicester Center sits up on the hill around Washburn Square, Cherry Valley runs along Route 9 with its own ZIP code, and Rochdale sits to the south with a ZIP code of its own as well. Add Greenville, Burncoat Pond and the farms and businesses along Route 56, and you have a town where two houses a few miles apart can be in completely different electrical situations.
Bergeron Contracting works in all of it. We hold Massachusetts Master Electrician License #21807-A, carry full insurance, and file wiring permits with the Leicester Building and Code Enforcement office on every job that needs one.
The median Leicester home was built around 1965, and roughly a quarter of the housing stock predates 1940. That combination produces a steady stream of the same two jobs: 60 and 100 amp services that no longer carry a modern household, and original branch circuits that were never designed for the number of devices now plugged into them. Leicester also has one of the highest owner occupancy rates in Worcester County, which means most of our work here is for people who intend to stay, not flip.
Water and sewer in Leicester are not run by the town. They are handled by a patchwork of subscriber owned districts, and the sewered area is small. Most of the town is on a private well, a private septic system, or both. That makes well pump circuits, septic pump and alarm wiring and generator hookups regular work rather than occasional work. Electricity is supplied by National Grid, so a service upgrade means filing a work request with National Grid, pulling the town permit, doing the work, passing the wiring inspection, and only then getting the new service energized. We manage that sequence for you.
On the commercial side, Leicester has more than 300 businesses along with the western end of the Worcester Regional Airport property. We handle small commercial and landlord work: panel upgrades, code correction, added circuits, exterior and parking lot lighting, and repairs between tenants.

If you are adding an EV charger, a heat pump, central air, a hot tub or a finished basement, the service is usually the limiting factor. We assess what you have and tell you honestly whether an upgrade is required or simply useful.
