Electrician in Pepperell, MA
WJW Electric works out of Pepperell — a master electrician licensed on both sides of the state line, based right where the line is.
- MA Master Lic. #23701-A
- Owner-Operated
- Fully Insured
Pepperell is home. WJW Electric operates out of town, and Billy Webber has lived here for several years — drawn, like a lot of people, to the quiet country living this corner of Massachusetts offers compared to the congestion closer to Boston.
Being based here shapes how the business works. Pepperell sits directly on the New Hampshire border, which is why Billy holds master electrician licenses in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. A job in town and a job in Brookline or Hollis can be ten minutes apart, and both need doing properly and legally.
Pepperell’s Older Homes
Pepperell was incorporated in the 1750s, and it shows in the housing. The older homes around the village and the historic streets are where original wiring, ungrounded two-prong circuits, and panels that predate modern demand still turn up — alongside decades of newer building spread across the rest of town.
For the older houses, that usually means knob-and-tube removal, a partial or whole-house rewire, and an electrical service upgrade so new grounded circuits have somewhere to land. For the newer ones, it’s usually capacity — an EV charger, a hot tub, a heat pump, or a finished basement.
Electrical Services in Pepperell
- Panel & service upgrades — more capacity for homes that have outgrown their service.
- Generator installation — standby and portable, sized for well pumps and heat.
- Whole-house rewiring — full or partial, phased so you stay in the house.
- Lighting & ceiling fans — recessed lighting, fixtures, fans, dimmers.
- EV charger installation — Level 2 charging in the garage, sized properly.
- Knob-and-tube removal — for the older homes around the village and the historic streets.
- Hot tub & sauna wiring — dedicated circuits, GFCI, disconnects.
- Troubleshooting — the circuit that trips and nobody knows why.
On the Line, in Both Directions
Pepperell’s position is the reason WJW Electric works the way it does. The town sits at the Massachusetts edge of the border, with Route 111 and Route 113 running through it and Route 122 heading north into Hollis. Brookline, New Hampshire is directly north; Hollis is a short run up 122; Nashua and Hudson are a little further on.
Most of our work now sits across that line in Southern New Hampshire, where a New Hampshire master license is required to do the work — and where being based this close means we can actually get there. See the full service area →

Pepperell Electrician FAQs
Are you based in Pepperell?
Yes. WJW Electric operates out of Pepperell, right by the New Hampshire line. It’s our home base, and it’s why we can reach the Southern New Hampshire border towns so quickly.
Do you work on older homes in Pepperell?
Yes, and Pepperell has plenty of them. The town was incorporated in the 1750s, and the older housing around the village is where original wiring, ungrounded circuits, and outdated panels still turn up.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Pepperell?
Most electrical work beyond a simple like-for-like fixture swap requires a permit and inspection. We pull the permit through the town and coordinate the inspection ourselves.
Can you handle both Massachusetts and New Hampshire work?

Everything residential — panel and service upgrades, EV chargers, rewiring, knob-and-tube removal, generators, hot tub and sauna wiring, lighting and ceiling fans, and general troubleshooting.
