Electricians near Somerville

“I rarely write reviews, so please bear with me.

Long story short: My best experience with any electrician has been with Jim of JDO Electric.

On Saturday, July 5th of the holiday weekend, my home’s electrical system started to fail. Some outlets worked, others were completely out, and a few flickered on and off—creating a strange and somewhat frightening situation that needed immediate attention. I reached out to several electricians I’ve used in the past. Only Jim returned my call—within an hour of me leaving a voicemail.

After I explained the issue, he quickly put me at ease. He said there didn’t seem to be an imminent threat to the house and promised to come by within the hour.

Upon arrival, he diagnosed the problem and explained what was causing it. Jim was able to provide temporary relief by restoring most of the 110v service. It turned out that the electrical load in the house had become too much after we installed a central AC system and an EV charger in the garage.

Jim recommended upgrading to a 200-amp service. This involved not only replacing the entire electrical panel but also extensive rewiring—inside the house, at the meter, and the connection to the utility pole.

Throughout the process, Jim and his assistant Austin were excellent at keeping us informed about what they were doing and why. Their clear communication reassured us that everything was moving along smoothly. They worked diligently and professionally, kept the work areas clean, and were respectful of the fact that we were working from home. Even with the outdoor work requiring them to endure extreme heat, they pressed on and got the job done.

The entire upgrade took about a week and a half, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with both the process and the final result. I wholeheartedly recommend JDO Electric to anyone looking for a competent, experienced, professional, and reliable electrician.“

“Brian, the electrician was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided excellent advice. The customer service was impeccable. I would highly recommend his services to my family and friends.“

“We had a great experience with Ralphie's Electricians for a minor electrical issue in our home. Our appointment was 7am, which was great to get work done before our own workday began. Brad came by on time, was very friendly, and fixed our problem very quickly! Highly recommend!“

“Paul was so friendly and knowledgeable we felt totally comfortable trusting him with our electrical work! He made the process so easy and straightforward and communicated openly from the first call, assessment, and on the work day as well. Brandon and Pedro did a great job replacing our ceiling fans, grounding our outlets, and putting in a brand new sub panel for us to ensure our safety. We would definitely recommend Ledbetter and use Paul and his team again“

“Great company, I am also an electrical contractor and we had to hire them to repair a damaged electric radiant floor heat we had installed. The 2 guys showed up on time, very professional, had all the best tools for this type of repair, and did a great job. They both took great care in the protection of the floor and surroundings
They only had to remove a very small amount of tile, made a very nice and professional repair and completely cleaned up there mess. We are very happy with the service and would recommend them to anyone wit this issue.“

“Dave was professional, easy to communicate with, and gave his honest opinion of our issue without allowing us to spend hundreds of dollars on electrical repairs that might not solve the issue. Highly recommend!“

“Very professional and always gets the job done! But not only do they get the job done, they get it done Right! Worth every penny ??

“Service was very friendly and the techs resolved the issue quickly. I asked another question about an additional electrical issue and they assisted there as well.“

“Haggerty Electrical was great. My pool pump wasn't working and he talked me through a few things to try so I could fix it myself by using override switch. When I couldn't fix it myself, he came by that evening and fixed the issue. His price was reasonable.“

“Joe and Bill were extremely helpful in resolving a repair with the electric service drop to my house. They coordinated with the necessary entities to classify the repair appropriately to avoid a significant service fee. They treat your job as if it were theirs.“

“I put in a call to Frank O'reilly and he returned my call later that day. I told him what I thought the problem was - faulty circuit breaker - and he asked me to text him some photos of the circuit breaker and the outlet it was for. He had me do a few other minor tasks as he tried to assess what the problem was. He said he would come out the next morning and he did. He was able to quickly assess what the real problem was - an old outlet box - and he was able to fix it in a short time. He was also a very friendly person and was enjoyable to talk with while he solved the problem. I am happy to now have a reliable electrician I can call when I have electrical problems that need a professional. I give Frank O'reilly my highest recommendation.“

“Mario installed 3 light fixtures and recessed ceiling lights in two rooms in a new condo. It was easy to go over the project with him. His work is immaculate. He is professional and consulted with me to make sure that he understood what I wanted and that I would be satisfied. Care was taken to protect my furniture and flooring. I have a very busy work schedule, and he was able to work with me and my building easily. I would highly recommend him.Services: Installation“

“Top notch residential electrical work - I've had them do several jobs in my house, large and small. Upgrade from 100a fusebox to a modern 200a circuit, adding outdoor 50a circuit, and some tricky snaking of wiring. Crew is always friendly and professional and they arrive early and ready to work.“

“I have a small business in Boston and Ken has done our electrical work here.
Very professional, nice guy. I just called him for an emergency and he is coming tomorrow!“

“We've used Advanced Beacon's services for several electrical projects in our 120-year old home. They do great work, and we heartily recommend them.“

“Rich and the Greaves Electric team are the best. They literally go above and beyond to ensure the job is done properly the first time using top of the line products. I highly recommend using them for any of your electric needs. I will surely be using them again.“
