Licensed Electrician Serving Sterling, MA
Bergeron Contracting serves Sterling with licensed, permitted electrical work, from panel upgrades and septic alarm circuits to EV chargers and generator hookups.
Electrical Services for Sterling Homes and Businesses
Sterling covers 30 square miles between the Wachusett Reservoir and the I-190 corridor, and it has an unusual mix for an electrician: a colonial town center and 19th century farm properties, a heavy layer of 1960s to 1980s subdivisions, and a commercial and light industrial spine along Chocksett Road.
Bergeron Contracting works throughout Sterling, including Sterling Center, Chocksett, Sterling Junction, Pratt Junction, West Sterling and the homes around East and West Waushacum Ponds. We hold Massachusetts Master Electrician License #21807-A, carry full insurance, and file every required permit through the town e-permitting portal with the Sterling Building Department.
Two local facts shape most of the work we do here. First, Sterling has no municipal sewer anywhere in town. Every property, from the newest subdivision to the oldest farmhouse, is on a private septic system. Pump chambers, float switches and septic alarms all need dedicated, correctly protected circuits, and a failed alarm circuit is something homeowners usually discover the expensive way. Second, electricity in Sterling comes from the Sterling Municipal Light Department, not National Grid. SMLD handles the meter and the service disconnect on a panel upgrade, and it runs its own EV charger and heat pump rebate programs rather than the statewide ones.
About a fifth of the town is still on private wells, which puts those households in the same position as Princeton: no power means no water. We install generator inlets, interlock kits and manual transfer switches so a portable generator can carry the well pump, the septic pump and the heating system safely, without backfeeding the utility lines.
Sterling also has one of the oldest median ages in Worcester County, and a lot of the calls we take reflect that. Better exterior and stairway lighting, additional outlets so extension cords come off the floor, hardwired and interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and service capacity for a heat pump or backup power. If you plan to stay in the house, those are the jobs worth doing first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We hold Massachusetts Master Electrician License #21807-A and carry full insurance for residential and commercial electrical work in Sterling.
Sterling has no municipal sewer, so every property in town is on a private septic system. Many of those systems have a pump chamber with a float switch and an audible alarm that must sit on its own protected circuit. We wire new septic pump and alarm circuits, replace failed ones, and correct installations that were never done to code.
The Sterling Municipal Light Department, the town owned utility, not National Grid. SMLD handles the meter pull and reconnect on a service upgrade and offers its own EV charger and heat pump rebates. We coordinate that schedule as part of the job.
Outlet and switch work typically runs $200 to $300, and a service call is $250 to $450. A panel upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp runs $4,500 to $6,500 depending on the service and the scope. Every estimate is free and provided in writing.

Yes. A large share of our Sterling work is safety focused: brighter stairway and exterior lighting, motion sensor fixtures, added outlets so extension cords are not running across floors, hardwired and interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and enough service capacity for a heat pump or backup power.
