Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from BCP 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.

Worcester's BCP Electric has one move that keeps showing up across its reviews: telling a customer they don't need the work at all. In a 2025 review, a homeowner brought Brian Pidgeon in for a second opinion on a project someone else had already quoted — he could have priced it at $20,000 and no one would have known, but told them to skip it instead. In another 2025 review, he looked at an aging 220 stove outlet, explained that city permit rules and the building's grandfathered wiring made a full rewrite not worth the cost, and recommended swapping the equipment instead. A Reddit poster this month described the same habit: he even said they shouldn't do a few re-wires unless they were remodeling. The volume behind that reputation is real: 4.9 stars across 114 Google ratings, an A+ and accredited standing with the Better Business Bureau, and 107 reviews on file running 2021 through this year, 18 of them in just the past six months. The jobs range from routine — ceiling fans, outlet swaps, EV charger installs, panel upgrades to 200A — to more involved work: a recent service upgrade and rewiring job where he coordinated with the local inspector and National Grid on a tight meter clearance, and, in a 2023 review, an extensive wood shop electrical upgrade where the inspector on-site specifically praised him for calling ahead of the work rather than after, calling the practice unusual. In a 2025 review, one homeowner described him arriving within 90 minutes of a weekend panel emergency call; others across the years mention him working around tight schedules and explaining what he's doing as he goes. Its Massachusetts electrician license is active. One caller had a rougher experience: a recent review describes phoning about a bathroom fan replacement and being cut off mid-sentence with "I'm all set, thank you and have a great day" before the line went dead — a sharp contrast with the patience described elsewhere, and worth knowing if a first call doesn't land well. BCP Electric reads like the call for a straight answer before you spend money — someone who'll tell you what you don't need as readily as what you do — for anything from a stuck breaker to a full rewiring project.
“I really liked BCP electric. He’s not cheap and has redone a lot of stuff on my house and I trust him. He even said we shouldn’t do a few re-wires unless we’re remodeling.”
“This post brought me to BCP and Brian and I am so grateful. I recommend!”
“BCP is S tier.”
“Brian does excellent work on my 1908 home.”
“I highly recommend Brian Pidgeon. He based his estimate on discussions and photos I sent him.”
I had consulted Brian for a service upgrade and rewiring my home. I had an old fuse box which didn't have the capacity to run AC in my entire house which is becoming a necessity these days. He was honest in his evaluation and recommended I start with the service upgrade and go from there. The upgrade required a new meter which had unforeseen challenges since it is much larger than the old meter and there was limited space on the exterior of my house to mount it. He worked with the inspector and National Grid to come up with a solution. Despite the extra challenges and the additional labor required, he didn't increase my price. When it came time to rewire, we decided to simply add a couple of new circuits to the existing ones which gave me enough capacity to run AC in my house. He even made sure to get at least one of the circuits installed before an intense heat wave which saved me from roasting in my home. In summary, he didn't try to upsell me and in fact down-sold me from what I originally wanted, he was fair in his pricing despite unforeseen challenges, he took the time to explain what he was doing and adjusted his plan based on my feedback, and he went out of his way to get the work done in time. I would highly recommend giving him a try for any residential work!
I found BCP through a reddit discussion and my husband and I gave him a call at the end of day Friday and he graciously took our call and discussed our situation, which was to install 220 into our kitchen ASAP for a stove. Our house is 18th century and can sometimes pose problems for plumbers, electricians and the like! Brian was able to troubleshoot with my husband on the phone, we provided some pictures and he got us a quote maybe a day later. This guy knows what he's doing and is really responsive. He came out a few days later (we had a delay on our end and he rescheduled for us) and once he and one other guy came out, the job was done remarkably fast. Brian kept us updated the entire time and on top of being super professional, he is also just a cool guy and was easy to talk to. Thanks Brian and Sean for your work! We look forward to giving you future electrical projects at our home!
I called this number about a potential issue about bathroom fan replacement. I had barely finished getting my first sentence out before the person who picked up responded “I’m all set. Thank you and have a great day” then hung up. I was left just shocked at the rudeness of the interaction
Contacted BCP to have 2 ceiling fans installed. Brian responded quickly and gave us great advice on what fans to purchase. Installation was fast and Brian and his apprentice were friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend!
I have hired Brian on a number of occasions for easy things like fixing a light switch to changing me over to 200 amp circuit breakers. He is very professional, on time and thorough with all his work. I would highly recommend him to not only my family, but anyone else who needs a good electrician.
