A Newton Legacy, One Circuit at a Time

Castle Electric was founded in 1997 by Jim Prescott, Sr., a master electrician who started as an apprentice straight out of high school. What began as a single crew serving the Newton and Norwood area has grown into one of Eastern Massachusetts’ most respected electrical companies, with multiple field teams and a client list built almost entirely on referrals and repeat business. Nearly three decades in, the Prescott family is still at the helm, and the standard hasn’t slipped an inch.

At Castle Electric, we believe that good relationships are foundational to good business and that you deserve top quality work all the time, whether what you ask of us is big or small. Choose us because:

  • We’re licensed electricians, ensuring all your work is safe and up-to-code
  • We offer reliable service and emergency support when you need it most.
  • We value your time and show up when we say we will

Keeping the Lights On, Together

Castle Electric is a company that is in service of the bigger picture. Jim Sr. volunteers with the Christ Church youth group in Needham, has traveled on mission trips, and helped rebuild homes for families in need. That same instinct to show up and do the work carries into everything we do on the job. When the community is taken care of, everybody wins.

The VOLT Standard

Every job we take on is held to the VOLT Standard — four principles that shape how we show up, how we work, and how we treat the people who trust us in their homes and businesses. It’s how we make sure “royal service” means something more than a tagline.

V

Vision

We listen first. Whether you know exactly what you want or you’re not sure where to start, we bring your vision to life with skill and care, from first walkthrough to final inspection.

O

Ownership

When we take on a job, we own every part of it. That means pulling the right permits, cleaning up before we leave, and standing behind our work long after we’re gone.

L

Loyalty

Our customers aren’t transactions. We show up on time, communicate clearly, and look out for your home’s electrical health the same way we’d look out for our own family’s.

T

Transparency

No surprise charges or upsells. We’re all about honest assessments, clear pricing and communication from people who’ve been doing this for nearly 30 years.

Build Your Career with Castle Electric

Are you tired of being micromanaged? Tired of being treated like a number instead of like family? Are your ideas dismissed, or you feel like you have no agency at work?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then a career with Castle Electric may be just what the doctor ordered!

Castle Electric is small enough to have very involved owners that work hard to set you up for success, but also large enough that there’s always a steady stream of work and even overtime opportunities.
