Bay State Electric says it has been wiring Massachusetts and New Hampshire buildings out of Peabody since 1980 — 46 years by its own count. The company describes residential, commercial and industrial electrical work, and puts its service area at Greater Boston, the North Shore, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The Better Business Bureau grades it A+, listing it under the legal name McDonnell Electric, Inc., doing business as Bay State Electric. On Google, four ratings average four stars. That range makes it a plausible call whether the job is a panel upgrade at the house or a fit-out at a storefront. Before booking, get the scope and the price in writing, confirm the Massachusetts electrical licence of the electrician who will actually be on the job, and ask for a certificate of insurance.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Bay State Electric. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
