Which county handles electrical permits for 02493?
This ZIP sits in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Permit and inspection requirements for panel changes, service upgrades and new circuits are set locally, so confirm with the contractor whether a permit is required for your specific job and who is filing it.
What warranty should I expect?
Workmanship warranties are set by the contractor, and one to two years on labour is common on larger jobs, with manufacturers covering the equipment separately. Ask for the warranty terms in writing on the invoice, not verbally.

Permits are commonly required for panel replacements, service upgrades, new circuits, and work in wet locations like kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors.
