Boston Electric Service

Sixty-nine Google reviews, and every single one lands at five stars. Boston Electric Service works out of Malden, and the calls that show up in review after review are the everyday kind — a breaker that keeps tripping, an outlet that stopped working, a DIY project that turned up wiring nobody expected. The company says it's been doing this for 24 years, serving Malden and nearby towns for both houses and businesses. The name that comes up in almost every recent review is Mohamed. Reviewers describe him arriving about an hour after a call, tracing a repeatedly tripping breaker back to its cause and explaining it before fixing it, and once finishing a same-day repair after a homeowner's DIY project turned up wiring that wasn't part of the plan. One customer says they've called him back 'on several occasions over many years.' None of the six reviews posted in the past six months mention a complaint. Jobs are described as one electrician's work rather than a crew's, so if you need several things handled at once or on a tight deadline, it's worth asking about scheduling up front. Outside Google, a write-up on ProsGrade describes 'responsive scheduling, clear diagnostics' as a recurring theme in customer accounts — matching what direct reviewers say. For routine residential electrical work — outlet and switch repairs, breaker troubleshooting, EV charger installs — this is the kind of shop people call back for a fast visit with a plain-language explanation, not a large crew. One review mentions the price felt reasonable without giving a number, so it's worth getting a quote for your specific job before booking.
