Bent Electrical Contractors

Bent Electrical Contractors is a union electrical contractor in Somerville, working IBEW Local 103 crews on commercial and industrial jobs — electrical construction, fire alarm systems, lighting and power distribution, and structured cabling, with 24/7 emergency response. Thomas Bent founded the company in 1979, according to its own site — an industry profile from the Boston chapter of NECA describes him starting out working from a station wagon and building it, over four decades, into one of New England's leading full-service electrical contracting firms. Its BBB profile puts the founding a year later, in 1980, and still lists Thomas Bent as President, while the company's own materials say Vincent Albano became President in 2024. The written customer record is thin — a single five-star Google review from 2023 just says "Great people" — but the company carries an A+ BBB grade, though it isn't BBB-accredited, belongs to the Somerville Chamber of Commerce, and a former employee's post describes a good workplace over a six-year stint there. Between the union affiliation, the trade-press profile, and its long run in Somerville, this reads as an established commercial and industrial shop — worth confirming current leadership before reaching out, since the BBB listing hasn't caught up to the 2024 change at the top.
