Advanced Electrical Service Co.

Seventy-six homeowners have written up Advanced Electrical Service Co. on Google since 2021, and nearly every one of them names the same person: owner Dave Pike, who shows up and does the work himself. People hire him for the full spread of house wiring — panel replacements and service upgrades, recessed lighting, EV chargers, GFCI outlets, smoke detectors, and the kind of troubleshooting you need when half the house goes dark. The history is both deep and current. In July 2026 a homeowner described a single job that covered swapping and expanding the panel, replacing every plug and switch, adding dedicated circuits for an air conditioner and a gaming computer, and running new power around the basement. A customer who lost power on a Sunday morning in August 2026 said the fault was corrected promptly, and a March 2026 reviewer had a kitchen GFCI outlet installed around a difficult schedule. Older accounts tell the same story. In a 2025 review, a customer said Pike had been coming to their home for twenty years — kitchen, bathroom and laundry-room work, plus a service upgrade to 200 amps. Another 2025 reviewer had him install recessed lighting, wire new smoke detectors and upgrade bathroom fans in one visit; a homeowner writing in December 2024 said he turned up on Christmas Day when half the house, including the furnace, lost power. A 2022 review describes a hot tub wired end to end, PVC runs adapted tight around corners, working the first time. Pricing and permits come up repeatedly. A Tesla owner writing in December 2024 said he did not upcharge the way several other firms had; a 2025 reviewer said he looked at a project and was upfront that it wasn't the right one to take on; another in February 2025 noted he contacted the electrical inspector and pulled the necessary permits before starting. Old houses are a recurring theme — a 2025 customer with a 1900s home said he explained the safety trade-offs and ran a separate line for a new exhaust fan, and a 2024 reviewer in a very old home credited him with catching problems that could have become major ones. One thing to confirm before a large job: Massachusetts verifies electrician licence 992 as active, but the registry's holder of record reads ADVANCED ELECTRICAL LLC rather than the trading name, so ask him to confirm which registration covers the work. Otherwise this is a one-man shop with an unusually consistent record — dozens of detailed, signed accounts across five years, including a four-star note in March 2025 from a repeat customer who called him straightforward and honest. He is the right call for panel and service upgrades and for older homes where the wiring needs explaining as it is fixed.
