Recommended Electricians in Maine

The right contractor depends on the building and the job. Here are three Maine outfits we recommend, matched to the kinds of work covered in this guide — verify current licensure with OPOR before hiring, as with any contractor.

How to Vet Any Maine Electrician

  • Verify the license free on the Electricians' Examining Board's online portal — a master electrician should stand behind the business.
  • Ask who pulls the permit — town or state — and confirm the inspection before walls close. A contractor who suggests skipping the permit is telling you something.
  • Proof of insurance: general liability (many clients look for $1M) and workers' comp if they have employees.
  • Scope fit: residential service, energy retrofit, and commercial construction are genuinely different specialties — hire in-lane.

Our Recommendations

BRF Services — China, ME

ResidentialFull-serviceElectrical + Plumbing + HeatingEfficiency Maine partner

A one-call, whole-house outfit out of China (Kennebec County) offering electrical alongside plumbing, heating, heat pumps, generators, insulation, and general contracting. That breadth is the draw: on projects where the electrical scope is tangled up with a heat pump install, a water heater swap, or an insulation job, one licensed, insured crew can carry the whole thing — permits and code compliance included. A strong fit for the homeowner and small-landlord work described in our permits and service upgrade pages.

Maine Energy Services

Energy-focusedElectrical servicesElectrification

An energy-focused Maine services contractor — the natural lane for the electrification projects driving most of today's residential electrical work: heat pumps and the circuits behind them, panel capacity questions, EV charging, and efficiency upgrades. If your project starts with "we're adding heat pumps and aren't sure the service can take it," this is the kind of shop to call first, alongside a NEC 220.87 load review.

Regional Electric — Lewiston, ME

CommercialIndustrialDesign-buildSouthern & Central Maine

A full-service electrical contractor focused squarely on commercial and industrial building projects — healthcare, education, retail, and large-scale construction, with design-build capability and a project portfolio spanning southern to central Maine (Lewiston Middle School, Norway Savings, Hartt Transportation, and more). For the multi-family and commercial classifications covered on our work types page — meter banks, engineered services, complex coordination — this is the appropriate weight class.
