About
M W Burns Electrical Contractors has been serving the Greater Boston commercial market since 1968, giving facility managers and property owners access to more than five decades of hands-on electrical expertise in one of the country's most demanding urban markets. Based in the Boston metro and active throughout Cambridge and surrounding communities, MW Burns fields master electricians who are industry-certified and committed to continuous training — a critical differentiator for facility teams managing complex commercial properties where code compliance and minimal downtime are non-negotiable. The firm's commercial scope covers the full range of building electrical needs: power distribution upgrades, panelboard and breaker work, branch circuit installations, lighting system retrofits, tenant build-outs, and electrical audits that help property managers benchmark energy consumption and identify code deficiencies before they become costly violations. Their electrical audit capability is particularly valuable for office buildings, mixed-use developments, multifamily properties, and retail centers undergoing repositioning or change-of-use conversions — common scenarios across the Boston and Cambridge commercial real estate landscape. MW Burns has built its reputation on delivering projects on time and under budget, as confirmed by client feedback, making them a dependable partner for general contractors coordinating multi-trade schedules. With master electricians at the helm of every project, the firm brings the licensing depth required for permitted commercial work in Massachusetts, where the inspection and permitting process is rigorous. Facility managers overseeing office, retail, industrial, or institutional assets in the Greater Boston area will find MW Burns a seasoned, accountable electrical contractor capable of handling everything from routine repairs to full electrical system installations and build-outs.
