Woburn's electrical stock skews old: 41.3% of the city's 17,045 housing units were built before 1960 and 18.7% predate 1940, which is the era when 60-amp services and early branch wiring were normal. Woburn runs its own Electrical Inspector out of Inspectional Services at the City Hall Annex, separate from the Plumbing and Gas Inspector, and a licensed Electrician is responsible for pulling the permit. The city's published fee schedule prices service work by capacity - $25.00 for each 100 amps on an upgrade or replacement and $25.00 for each meter - so a panel upgrade in Woburn is permitted and inspected against a stated, public rate. Woburn's electric distribution utility is Eversource, and the city adopted the Stretch Energy Code by ordinance in March 2011 but has not adopted DOER's Specialized Code, so new construction here does not carry the Specialized Code's electrification pre-wiring mandates.
