Founded by President and Electrical Consultant
Larry DiFoggio in 1973, DiFoggio Electric, a fullservice
electrical contracting company serving
the residential and commercial markets, has
been powering Boston for over 4 decades.
From townhomes in historic Louisburg Square to Back Bay
icons like the Four Seasons to burgeoning new builds
in the Seaport District, serving Boston residents has
become second nature to the team of electricians at
DiFoggio Electric.
The work is not for every electrical contractor. Director of
Operations Eddie Stack, who began his career at DiFoggio
as an apprentice at age 18, explains, “Working in Boston
really is its own animal.” It requires a firm grasp not only of
the work itself—which, for elite properties like One Dalton
and The Millennium Tower is increasingly complex—but
also of city logistics and operations. As 85% of DiFoggio
Electric’s business is in the city, the needs of clients are
swiftly met, whether the company is called upon to
“replace a switch or rewire a house from top to bottom.”
Plus, with today’s intricate high-end AV systems, lighting
and shade control, people look to DiFoggio Electric for
counsel on details beyond what a plan delineates.
With 18 team members and growing, DiFoggio Electric
is a family-run business with a big-city mentality. They
work at such distinguished properties as the Mandarin
Oriental, 50 Liberty, The Echelon Seaport, and more, and
their standards are as high as the buildings they work on.
DiFoggio Electric stands behind everything they do, and
safety is paramount. “Our owner, Larry DiFoggio, views
every project, as if it were his own,” says Stack. “That’s the
way we approach it.”
