Electrical Services for Rhode Island Homes & Businesses

From emergency panel upgrades to EV charger installations and whole-home rewires, MXM Electric handles the full range of residential and commercial electrical work across Rhode Island. Every job is licensed, permitted, and backed by the highest quality of service.


What We Offer

Panel Upgrades & Replacements

Electrical control panel with circuit breakers, wires, and fuses.

If your home is running on a 100-amp panel, tripping breakers regularly, or was flagged during a home inspection, a panel upgrade isn't optional, it's a safety issue. MXM Electric specializes in electrical panel upgrades across Rhode Island, including 100A to 200A service upgrades, Federal Pacific and Zinsco panel replacements, and full-service upgrades required for EV chargers or major home renovations.

We assess your panel, pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and have you upgraded with minimal disruption.

Pricing is transparent before we start.

Ideal for…

Homes with Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels · Pre-1980 homes · EV charger prep · Home sales / inspections · Frequent tripped breakers


EV Charger Installation

Driving electric in Rhode Island means charging at home efficiently. A Level 1 charger (standard 120V outlet) adds roughly 4 miles of range per hour — fine for occasional use, not for daily driving. A Level 2 charger (240V dedicated circuit) adds 20–30 miles per hour and fully charges most EVs overnight.

MXM Electric installs Level 2 home EV chargers for all major brands — Tesla, Ford, GM, Rivian, Hyundai, Kia, and more. We assess your panel capacity, run the dedicated 240V circuit, install your charger, and handle the permit and inspection. One call. One visit. Done right.

Compatible with…

Tesla · Ford F-150 Lightning · Chevy Bolt · Rivian · Hyundai Ioniq · Kia EV6 · All J1772 standard chargers


Residential Wiring & Rewiring

An electrical panel with various colored wires inside, some loose and some taped together, mounted on a wall.

Rhode Island has a lot of older housing stock, and older homes often have older wiring. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum wiring, and undersized circuits aren't just inconvenient; they're fire hazards that can void homeowner's insurance and fail inspections.

MXM Electric handles whole-home rewires, partial rewires, room additions, outlet and switch upgrades, and circuit additions across Rhode Island. We work around your schedule, protect your home during the work, and leave you with a fully inspected, code-compliant electrical system.

Common scenarios include…

Pre-1970 homes with knob-and-tube wiring · Aluminum wiring replacement · Adding circuits for home offices or workshops · Room additions · Insurance-required upgrades


Lighting Design & Installation

A modern white kitchen with a large island, black chairs, pendant lights, a gas stove, and open shelving with dishes.

Good lighting does more than illuminate a room — it changes how a space feels, functions, and sells. MXM Electric installs interior and exterior lighting across Rhode Island, including recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, pendant and fixture installation, landscape and security lighting, and smart lighting systems compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit.

Whether you're renovating a kitchen, updating a bathroom, or lighting an entire commercial space, we design the layout, pull the wire, and install it cleanly.

Services include…

Recessed lighting · Pendant and chandelier installation · Exterior and landscape lighting · Smart lighting / dimmer systems · Commercial LED retrofits


Generator Installation & Transfer Switches

Rhode Island's coastal location means power outages aren't a question of if, they're a question of when. A whole-home standby generator connected through a transfer switch keeps your heat, refrigeration, medical equipment, and lights running when the grid goes down automatically, without you doing anything.

MXM Electric installs whole-home standby generators and manual transfer switches for portable generators across Rhode Island. We work with all major brands, handle the electrical connection and transfer switch installation, and coordinate with your gas provider on fuel supply. Every installation is permitted and inspected.

Ideal for…

Coastal RI homeowners · Medical equipment users · Home offices · Multi-family properties · Anyone who lost power during a named storm


Commercial Electrical Services

An office with multiple desks, chairs, computer monitors, and office supplies. The room has a high ceiling with hanging lights, large windows with blinds, and a combination of beige and dark wall panels. There is a wall-mounted TV and some potted plants in the background.

MXM Electric works with small businesses, retail spaces, restaurants, and commercial properties across Rhode Island. We handle the electrical side of tenant fit-outs, lighting upgrades, panel replacements, circuit additions, code compliance work, and EV charger installations for commercial parking.

Commercial work is quoted transparently, permitted properly, and scheduled to minimize your downtime. We understand that a day without power is a day without revenue, and we plan our work around your business hours wherever possible.

Ideal for…

Retail · Restaurants · Office · Medical / dental offices · Light industrial · Landlords / property managers


Xpress Diagnostics - Rhode Island’s Same-Day Response

Xpress Diagnostics is the service that makes MXM Electric different from other electricians in Rhode Island.

Here's how it works: You call or book online. A licensed MXM electrician will connect with you the same day to schedule an assessment. We evaluate the issue, explain exactly what's wrong in plain language, and give you a transparent, itemized quote before any work starts. You decide how to proceed. No pressure. No surprises.

Most Rhode Island electricians make you wait days for a callback, then give you a vague estimate over the phone. Xpress Diagnostics eliminates both problems. It's built into how we operate, not something we charge extra for.

Process:

Step 1: Call or book online  →  Step 2: Talk to a licensed electrician same day  →  Step 3: Full assessment + transparent quote  →  Step 4: You decide — we schedule the work on your timeline

"MXM came out same day and diagnosed the issue we'd been chasing for months. Had a quote in hand within the hour. Everything was permitted and passed inspection first try."
