Verified record
Call Aucoin Electric about an outlet and you tend to hear back fast. A March 2024 customer said Nick called back within minutes, came the same day, and had the outlets fixed inside an hour. Versions of that keep turning up: a November 2024 homeowner with an urgent need said he sent another electrician out to handle it, and an August 2026 customer who had an overhead light fixture repaired and a new outlet put in singled out how quickly the crew got there. The Newton company's licence sits with Nicholas Aucoin, the holder of record on Massachusetts electrician licence 58856, which is active on the state registry. Angi and HomeAdvisor both list that same number, with an expiration of 07/31/2028. The work is mostly the small, exact stuff a house needs. Outlets: one under a kitchen sink in September 2025, a pair in a bedroom in March 2024, another beside a TV mount in February 2024 with the cables run inside the wall and everything up to code. Ceiling fans went in directly over the beds in a June 2024 bedroom job, and that reviewer noted how clean he kept it. A bathroom light-and-fan followed in March 2024, and the circuit for a heat pump water heater the same month. Bigger pieces turn up too. A February 2025 customer had a fuse box converted to a breaker panel along with new light fixtures; another February 2025 review describes high-end speakers and all the wiring for a home remodel, fairly priced and done with the right tools. Two February 2024 reviewers were working on other people's houses — one renovating a three-family who said the prices were good, one flipping an investment property who would hire him again. An April 2024 customer had an electric car charger put in the garage. Two habits come up more than any single job: cleanup and straight talk. An April 2024 customer said he cleaned up immaculately and followed up about a week later to check the work was right; a March 2024 reviewer said he laid out the options, including ones that didn't benefit him; another March 2024 customer was upfront about price and time frame before starting. The thing to ask about is schedule. HomeAdvisor's profile flags one review about a job that ran longer than estimated, so settle the window before the work starts. For the list of household electrical jobs you have been putting off — outlets, fixtures, fans, a car charger — and for the panel work that comes with an older house, this is the kind of call these customers made.
Had Aucoin come in to repair an overhead light fixture and install a new outlet. We were extremely pleased with the communication, how quickly they were able to come out, and the quality of the work. Would definitely recommend them and would hire them again.
Eric was responsive, easy to work with, and would recommend him to anyone.
Nick installed an outlet under my sink and he paid attention to detail. I was happy with the result.
