Alt Electrical Inc

Alt Electrical Inc, run by Altin and based in Swampscott, describes itself as a licensed and insured residential and commercial electrical contractor also offering security-system installation, serving Massachusetts and New Hampshire. It carries an A+ BBB grade, though it isn't BBB accredited, and a 5-star Google average from 27 ratings. What comes through most in the 23 reviews on file, running from 2024 to 2026, is speed on emergencies: a smoking outlet in the middle of the night answered within hours, a tree that took down power lines fixed close to midnight with power restored the same night, a breaker that failed late in the evening replaced on the spot, and one reviewer who says Altin walked them through a fix over the phone for free before he could even get there. Beyond emergencies, the bigger jobs get the same attention to detail: full panel upgrades to 200-amp service with the old wiring cleaned up, a complete house rewiring, the electrical for an ADU addition, and a pre-sale inspection of a three-family home that caught and corrected code violations before the sale. One reviewer specifically credits Altin with upgrading a main panel, adding proper grounding, and correcting unsafe wiring left behind by a previous contractor. Recent activity keeps the same shape — 4 reviews in the last six months, none negative. One thing worth a quick question: how long the company has been operating is reported two ways — its own site says it's served Massachusetts and New Hampshire since 2013 (12+ years), while its BBB profile lists 7 years in business. For anything from a middle-of-the-night electrical emergency to a full panel upgrade or an ADU wiring job across the North Shore and beyond, this is a well-reviewed, fast-responding electrician.
