Fast, knowledgeable, and reliable — from a single outlet replacement to a full-home troubleshooting visit. We serve homeowners and landlords throughout Essex County, MA. When you call Zolotas, you get the same licensed electrician who knows your home, not a rotating crew of strangers.
Most electrical problems don't require a major project — they require someone who shows up, knows what they're doing, and actually fixes it. That's what a Zolotas service call looks like.
We handle the full range of residential electrical maintenance and repairs: the stuff that trips up homeowners day-to-day, the deferred maintenance that starts failing, and the compliance items that come up during inspections or sales.
💡 Not sure if it's a big job? Call us. Most homeowners overestimate what repairs cost. We'll give you a straight answer over the phone before you even schedule anything.
Anyone can swap an outlet. What separates a real electrician from a handyman is the ability to diagnose the underlying problem — not just the symptom. When a breaker keeps tripping, the issue might be the breaker itself, an overloaded circuit, a loose connection somewhere in the run, or a failing appliance. Getting it wrong means the problem comes back.
☎ Emergency calls: Electrical problems don't always wait. Call (978) 535-6260 and we'll tell you honestly whether it needs same-day attention.
From single-room issues to whole-home inspections, we bring the same knowledge and care to every job size.
Replace worn, damaged, or outdated outlets and switches. Upgrade to GFCI, AFCI, tamper-resistant, or USB-equipped outlets. Add outlets to rooms that are underserved.
Diagnose tripped or overloaded circuits, loose connections, and intermittent failures. We find the actual cause — not just reset a breaker and leave.
Ceiling fans, pendant lights, recessed lighting, exterior fixtures, and under-cabinet lighting. New installs and replacements, including new wiring where needed.
Hardwired smoke detectors and CO detectors — replacements and new installations. GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and exterior locations.
Pre-sale electrical inspections, updating wiring to current code, addressing violations found during home sales or permitting. We know what MA inspectors look for.
A full assessment of your electrical system — panel condition, wiring quality, outlets, grounding, and anything that warrants attention. Useful before buying, selling, or renovating.
Rental properties have their own electrical demands: turnover repairs, tenant-reported issues, code compliance for rental inspections, and deferred maintenance on older units. We work with landlords and property managers throughout Essex County who need a licensed electrician they can count on to show up, do the job right, and not create new problems.
Building a relationship matters. When we know your properties, we can spot problems before they become emergencies and give you better advice on what to prioritize. We're not a one-and-done contractor.
A lot of electrical service calls are quick. An outlet, a fixture, a breaker. Homeowners shouldn't have to schedule a week out, pay for a two-hour minimum, and wait for someone who shows up late and charges for the confusion. We know what things cost and we don't pad it.
Forty years of residential work in Essex County means we've seen every wiring age and style — knob-and-tube, aluminum, cloth-wrapped, modern Romex. We know what's normal and what's a problem. When we look at your electrical system, we're not guessing.
John Zolotas founded Zolotas Electric in 1984. His son Greg runs it today. That continuity isn't just a nice story — it means we have deep roots in this community. We've worked in the same neighborhoods for decades. We've done service calls in homes we wired 30 years ago.
We built our reputation on repeat business. If we do your job right, you call us back. You refer your neighbor. That's the only growth model we've ever known.
Answer 8 quick questions about your home and we'll email you a personalized guide — what to prioritize, what to watch, and every Massachusetts incentive you qualify for on bigger upgrades.
