A Plus Communications Inc King Electric is an Andover, Massachusetts telecommunications and electrical contractor. John King and his wife own the company, which King runs out of a restored Ballardvale mill on Andover Street. Its best-documented project comes from a 20-year client, Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program: in 2017 and 2018 coverage, King said the clinic had approached him and his wife about "a unique problem," and he was contracted to build an alarm system for a public restroom where staff had been responding to as many as five overdoses a week. Its Massachusetts electrician license (25341, held by John J King) is active on the state registry, and the company's own BuildZoom profile says it has been in business 28 years — first as King Electric, and since 2000 also as A Plus Communications. A Plus Communications is worth a call for electrical or voice-and-data work, particularly given King's long run with at least one institutional client — confirm scope and timing directly for a residential job.

But thanks to tech designed by King, no one has died.”
