Before you call
Is this the right kind of job for us?
Do you do small repairs?
We take whole-house and whole-floor rewiring, fuse box changes and service upgrades. For a single outlet, a local electrician will usually be quicker.
Do you work on new construction or commercial buildings?
No. Palumbo Electric works in existing houses.
Which towns do you serve?
Providence, Cranston, Pawtucket and the nearby towns listed on the home page.
Not sure which one you need?
Tell us the year the house was built. The survey sorts out the rest.
