“Feels like family”
Jason Einwechter and his team were amazing! My husband and I recently bought a ‘fixer upper’ and Einwechter Electric handled all of the rewiring, new panel install, and smart home upgrades. Professional, tidy, and on time every day. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for fast, efficient, customer focused, reliable and professional service, Einwechter Electric is your electrical contractor. I have used their services on many occasions, upgrades, quotes and emergencies. They are quick to respond, reasonably priced, provide excellent service and a “feels like family approach”. They are my trusted electrical contractor and always my first and only phone-call when I need something.
Jon RollemanManaging Funeral Director at Coutts Funeral Home, Cambridge
I am so happy with the professional work of Einwechter Electric. They were precise in the placing of the pot lights and careful with our finishes. Communication was excellent from quote to cleanup. We will absolutely be calling them again.
