Types of wiring work we handle
Electrical Wiring Explained
Remodel Wiring
Remodel wiring covers adding or upgrading circuits in a finished or partially finished space. Kitchens, bathrooms, home offices, garages, and any room where you need new outlets, lighting circuits, or appliance circuits added. Our team routes new wiring through existing structures using fishing and drilling techniques that minimize drywall damage.
Basement and Attic Wiring
Finishing a basement or converting an attic into livable space typically requires running multiple new circuits for lighting, outlets, and appliances. We plan the full electrical layout, pull the permit, rough in all wiring before insulation and drywall go in, and return for the finish work once the space is ready.
Addition Wiring
Home additions require new circuits branched from your existing panel, and in many cases a panel upgrade to support the increased load. We assess your current panel capacity as part of the addition wiring quote so you understand the full picture before work begins.
Knob-and-Tube and Old Wiring Replacement
Many Worcester County homes built before 1950 still have knob-and-tube wiring. Homes built between 1965 and 1975 may have aluminum branch circuit wiring. Both present safety risks and insurance complications. We assess old wiring systems and complete permitted, inspected replacement work.
Knob-and-Tube Wiring in Worcester County
Knob-and-tube wiring is still present in many Worcester, Auburn, Holden, and Spencer properties. While not immediately dangerous if in good condition, knob-and-tube lacks a ground wire, cannot be covered with insulation without creating a fire hazard, and most Massachusetts insurance carriers either refuse to insure homes with active knob-and-tube or charge significantly higher premiums.
Bergeron Contracting assesses knob-and-tube wiring throughout Worcester County. We identify which circuits are still active, which can be safely abandoned in place, and provide a phased replacement plan if a full replacement is not immediately feasible. All replacement work is permitted and inspected by your local building department.
Wiring for Kitchen and Bathroom Remodels
Kitchen and bathroom remodels require specific electrical updates under Massachusetts code. Kitchens need GFCI protection on all countertop outlets, dedicated circuits for major appliances including refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and range, and adequate lighting circuits. Bathrooms require GFCI protection and dedicated circuits in most configurations.
Bergeron Contracting works directly with your general contractor or handles the electrical work independently. We coordinate the rough-in before walls are closed and return for the finish work after drywall is complete. If your remodel reveals outdated wiring that does not meet current code, we identify it and provide options before work progresses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Remodel wiring is the process of adding or upgrading electrical circuits in a finished or partially finished space without completely opening the walls. Our team routes new wiring through existing structures for kitchens, bathrooms, offices, and finished basements using fishing and drilling techniques that minimize drywall damage.
Yes. We assess and replace knob-and-tube wiring throughout Worcester County. This work requires permits and in some cases coordination with your homeowner’s insurance carrier. We walk you through the process and options before any work begins. We can also provide a phased replacement plan if you cannot address everything at once.
Basement finish wiring in Worcester typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on the size of the space, the number of circuits required, and whether a panel upgrade is needed. We provide a written estimate after reviewing the layout and your plans for the space.
Yes. Any new circuit installation or wiring modification in Massachusetts requires an electrical permit from your city or town. Bergeron Contracting handles all permit applications as part of every wiring project and schedules the inspection before walls are closed.
Not necessarily. If the aluminum wiring is in good condition, the correct approach is to ensure all outlets, switches, and connections are CO/ALR rated and properly treated with anti-oxidant compound not a full rewire. We assess the condition of your aluminum wiring and give you a clear recommendation on what actually needs to change.
Yes. We coordinate directly with your general contractor. We schedule the rough-in before walls are closed, pull the permit, pass the rough-in inspection, then return for the finish work once drywall is complete. We communicate with your GC throughout to keep the project on schedule.
We assess your current panel capacity as part of every wiring estimate. If your panel does not have enough capacity for the new circuits, we include a panel upgrade option in the quote. This way you have the full picture not just the wiring cost before any work is scheduled.
