Alt Electrical Inc

Alt Electrical Inc is a Swampscott outfit whose calling card is showing up in the middle of the night. One reviewer's power line came down under a fallen tree close to midnight and had power back within hours; another had an outlet smoking at 2 a.m. and got a same-night fix. The company, run by Altin, says on its own site it has served Massachusetts and New Hampshire since 2013 and lists a service area running from Swampscott through Cambridge, Lowell, and a dozen towns in between. Across 23 Google reviews from 2024 into 2026, that pattern holds: a breaker fails at night and Altin is there within the hour; an EV charger gets quoted the next day and installed cleanly; a three-family home's pre-sale inspection turns up code violations that get corrected on the spot, with hard-wired smoke detectors added. Several reviewers describe panel work specifically — a 200-amp upgrade, a full house rewiring, a fuse box swapped for a code-compliant panel — and one describes Altin correcting unsafe wiring a previous electrician had left behind. None of the 23 reviews on file are negative, and the Better Business Bureau lists the company at an A+ grade, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business and the page shows no complaint count. The company describes itself as licensed and insured on its own site, which also lists security-system installation alongside its core electrical work — those are the business's own claims, not independently verified here. Between the emergency-response record and the panel and rewiring jobs reviewers describe in detail, this reads as a solid call for anything from a middle-of-the-night outage to a full panel upgrade — the EV-charger and ADU wiring jobs suggest they're comfortable with newer installations too, not just repairs.
