Barry O'Connor is a Milton electrician whose customers keep coming back for years — several reviews describe using him for six years or across 'many years' of separate projects, and the word that shows up again and again is meticulous. The specific work described is substantial. One customer credits Barry with diagnosing faulty smoke-detector wiring that was holding up their home sale, calling it something that 'saved the day' during a pending inspection. Others describe him removing knob-and-tube wiring in century-old homes — a 1907 house and an 1890 house both get individual mentions — installing a 200-amp service upgrade, adding new circuits to a second floor, and setting up an automatic transfer switch for backup power. On the smaller side, reviewers describe outlet and switch replacements, an outdoor pole lantern, and quick fixes for shorts other people couldn't find. Pricing comes up often and consistently: reviewers describe him charging exactly what he estimates, with no hidden or unexpected fees, and call his rates fair even on complex jobs. One Angi review specifically credits his listening skills and willingness to make suggestions when he sees something worth flagging, and another says he arrived within 30 minutes of a request and solved a problem two other people couldn't figure out. Nineteen reviews across Google and Angi span 2021 through 2025, every one describing a good experience — several from repeat, long-term customers who've called him back for job after job. For anything from a straightforward repair to rewiring an old house or planning for backup power, Barry O'Connor's reviewers describe a careful, fairly priced electrician they've trusted with the same house for years.

Berry and team are awesome. we had him update our kitchen and he was an exelent communicator, he did exactly what we wanted and did a great job. Highly recommend.
He’s great
Barry was able to come quite quickly to help determine where we had developed a short in one of the electrical circuits in our house. He was quite pleasant, obviously quite knowledgeable and skilled and found the short in a part of the house's wiring that I didn't even know was potentially a part of the problem. He worked quickly and efficiently to rectify the situation and I am certain we will use him for other projects that we have waiting!
Barry did several smaller jobs that I had amassed - he was responsive and professional. Will work with him again as needed. I would highly recommend.
Barry was excellent. Arrived on time, was friendly and had the job done very quickly. Would absolutely use him again in the future.
