Benjamin Electric works out of Tewksbury, run by Benjamin F. Morey, the electrician named on the company's Massachusetts registration. What people call them for shows in its two Google reviews: panel work — upgrading undersized service, and knowing when not to upgrade at all. In a 2020 review, a homeowner described getting three electrician quotes before Ben proposed a fix that avoided a $1,500 panel replacement altogether, calling it an easy, hour-long job — and came back to Benjamin Electric the next time electrical work was needed. An earlier, 2017 review covers the other end of that job: a full 100-amp to 200-amp panel swap, with the crew testing every switch and outlet in the house and labeling the new panel before leaving. Before booking, check where things stand on paper. The state registry shows Morey's Massachusetts electrician license, number 51819, as expired; BuildZoom's own copy of that same license still lists it active, though its file notes an expiration date of July 2016, so the two sources don't even agree about a single license. BuildZoom also carries two other license numbers for the business, both shown inactive there. Its permit records separately show 103 permitted electrical jobs pulled for the company across Massachusetts towns, but no written reviews of its own — and Benjamin Electric's Google record hasn't picked up a new review since 2020. For a panel upgrade or a second opinion on one, the two reviews on file are detailed and consistent. Confirm the current status of the electrician's license directly with the state before signing anything.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Benjamin 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.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Over a year ago, I had three electricians come by for an estimate. Ben was the only one that came up with a solution that avoided upgrading the panel, a $1500 job. It was quick and easy and only cost an hour of labor. Again, I find myself in need of an electrician. You can bet I called Benjamin Electric!
Ben and his team replaced our overloaded 100a electrical panel to a 200a panel. Completely comfortable leaving the team in the house alone - Ben is so kind, even taking off his shoes as if it is his own house while working inside. Panel was exactly as described, team tested each and every switch and outlet in the house before leaving to ensure wiring was functional and assigned to the correct breaker. Labeled breaker clearly for future reference. All in all great experience - will be using him again for our kitchen project!
