Verified record
AK Electric is a Palmer-based electrical contractor working across residential, commercial and industrial jobs — street and parking-lot lighting, underground utility work, building lighting, industrial motor controls and solar installations. Incorporated in Massachusetts in 2002, the company names Anibal Alves and Scott Kibbe as its licensed electricians, each with more than 25 years in the trade, and says it holds master electrician licenses in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont — those numbers weren't independently verified here, so treat that as the company's own claim rather than confirmed status. The one review on file, from February 2026, is a short five-star 'Professional.' Its BBB profile is unaccredited but carries an A+ grade. The more substantial thing worth knowing: a 2016 news report said the company paid $61,000 in restitution and penalties after a state investigation found it had violated Massachusetts prevailing-wage law, improperly classifying workers as unregistered apprentices on a University of Massachusetts campus project. Given how little customer history is on record, it's worth asking for recent references directly, especially for larger commercial or industrial jobs similar to their described specialties.

Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.

“AK Electric, Inc. has paid $61,000 in restitution and penalties to six workers who were underpaid for their work on the the University of Massachusetts campus. An investigation by the Attorney General’s office found that the company had been violating Massachusetts prevailing wage law. ... The investigation showed that the company improperly classified workers as apprentices who were not registered with the Massachusetts Department of Labor & Workforce Development, Division of Apprentice Standards. Due to their unregistered status, the workers should have been paid a higher prevailing wage rat”
