Powering Electrical Excellence in Every Detail
Licensed electricians delivering precision, reliability, and craftsmanship — exclusively on Martha's Vineyard.
Full-Service Electrical for Island Homes
Whether you're building a new waterfront estate in Edgartown or upgrading a century-old captain's house in Vineyard Haven, MVIS brings Massachusetts-licensed electricians who understand the unique demands of island construction. Salt air, seasonal power surges, aging infrastructure — we've seen it all and we know how to build systems that last.
Our electrical team works hand-in-hand with our low-voltage and automation specialists, so there's never a gap between who wires your panel and who programs your lighting scenes. One team, one standard, one point of contact.
- MA-licensed master electricians on staff
- Residential new construction and renovation specialists
- Island-based team — no ferry delays, no subcontractors
- Single point of contact for high and low voltage
- Code compliance and permitting handled in-house
Electrical Services We Provide
From rough-in wiring on a new build to installing a standby generator before hurricane season, our electricians cover every aspect of residential electrical work on Martha's Vineyard.
New Construction & Renovations
Complete electrical design and installation for new builds and gut renovations. We coordinate with builders and architects from the blueprint stage, ensuring every outlet, circuit, and conduit is exactly where it needs to be — no costly change orders later.
Architectural Lighting & Controls
Precision wiring for Lutron and Savant lighting systems, dimmers, keypads, and motorized shades. We bring architectural lighting visions to life — from layered landscape schemes to statement fixtures in double-height great rooms.
Automatic Standby Generators
Island power can be unpredictable, especially during nor'easters and summer storms. We size, install, and maintain whole-house generators so your home — and all its smart systems — stays running when the grid goes down.
EV Charging Stations
More Vineyard homeowners are going electric. We install Level 2 charging stations with proper panel capacity, smart scheduling integration, and weatherproof outdoor enclosures built to handle coastal conditions.
Whole-House Surge Protection
Island power lines are exposed to lightning, salt corrosion, and utility fluctuations. We install multi-layered surge protection at the panel and point-of-use, safeguarding your electronics, smart home equipment, and appliances.
Panel Upgrades & Power Distribution
Older island homes often run on undersized panels that can't support modern loads — EV chargers, heat pumps, smart systems, and more. We upgrade panels, add sub-panels, and redesign power distribution for today's demands.
One Team, Total Integration
Most island homeowners hire one company for electrical and another for smart home wiring. That means two schedules to coordinate, two crews cutting into the same walls, and nobody taking ownership when something doesn't line up. With MVIS, that problem disappears.
Our electricians and low-voltage technicians work under the same roof — literally. The person wiring your electrical panel is on the same team as the person pulling Cat6 for your network, configuring your security cameras, and programming your home automation. Every wire, every circuit, every system is planned and installed as a unified whole.
For builders and architects, this means a single point of contact for all electrical and technology needs — cleaner coordination, fewer delays, and a finished product where everything works together from day one.
- High voltage and low voltage under one company
- Coordinated rough-in — no conflicting schedules
- Unified design from panel to smart switch
- Single warranty and support through MVcare

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the electrical questions we hear most from Vineyard homeowners.
If you depend on well water, a sump pump, refrigeration, or any smart home system, the answer is almost certainly yes. Power outages on Martha's Vineyard can last hours or even days after a major storm — and unlike the mainland, there's no quick utility crew dispatch from the next town over. A properly sized standby generator keeps your home safe, comfortable, and connected. We'll assess your loads and recommend the right unit for your situation. Get in touch to discuss options.
That's exactly what sets us apart. MVIS employs both MA-licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians under one roof. Your panel upgrade, your Lutron lighting, your structured network cabling, and your home automation are all planned and installed by the same coordinated team. No subcontractors, no finger-pointing, no scheduling conflicts between separate trades.
Common signs include frequently tripping breakers, a panel rated under 200 amps, fuse boxes instead of breakers, or plans to add large loads like an EV charger, heat pump, or generator. Many older Vineyard homes were built for a fraction of today's electrical demands. We'll perform a load calculation and let you know whether an upgrade makes sense — and if it does, we handle the permitting and installation from start to finish.
Yes — every electrician on our team holds a valid Massachusetts electrical license. We carry full insurance, pull all required permits through the Town of Tisbury and Dukes County, and schedule inspections as part of every project. You'll never have to wonder whether the work meets code. We take compliance seriously because your safety depends on it, and because island building departments do too.
It depends on your existing panel capacity and the distance from the panel to your parking area. A Level 2 charger typically requires a dedicated 40–60 amp circuit on a 240V breaker. If your panel is already near capacity, we may recommend an upgrade or a load management solution. We'll evaluate your setup, handle the permit, and install a charger that works with your vehicle — weatherproofed for outdoor island conditions. Schedule an assessment and we'll let you know exactly what's involved.
