Rated 5 out of 5

We’re building a new house in Needham and VivaVolt handled all the electrical from rough-in to final. They showed up when they said they would, worked clean, and caught a couple potential issues with the plans before they became problems. Inspector had zero notes at rough-in inspection which kept us on schedule. Price was competitive and they didn’t nickel and dime us on changes. Would use them again.

Had VivaVolt wire our garage addition last fall. They mapped out the whole plan with us first – outlets, lights, where we wanted the EV charger hookup. Ran conduit for future solar even though we’re not doing it yet, which was smart thinking. Work was neat, everything labeled, passed inspection first time. These guys know what they’re doing and actually plan ahead instead of just slapping stuff in.

Used VivaVolt for electrical on our basement finish. They coordinated with our GC perfectly, showed up right on time for rough-in and finals. Added extra circuits for a future home gym without us even asking – said it’d be way cheaper now than later. Smart panel setup, everything’s organized and makes sense. Electrician explained what he was doing as he went. Professional crew, fair pricing.

It covers full wiring, panel installation, lighting, outlets, and any specialized systems like EV chargers or smart tech. We customize based on your needs.

Costs vary by scope, but we provide transparent quotes upfront.

Most new homes need 200-amp service for standard appliances plus clean energy systems. Larger homes (3,500+ sq ft) may need 400 amps. We calculate your specific needs during planning.


Yes. New construction is ideal for solar integration. Many homeowners install the electrical infrastructure now and add panels later we support both approaches.


Yes, we coordinate all required inspections including rough-in and final. We accompany inspectors, address concerns immediately, and ensure full approval.


Absolutely. We install generator transfer switches and battery backup infrastructure during construction, even if you’re not purchasing equipment immediately.
