Boston Electric Service is Mohamed Rharioui's shop in Malden, and the reviews describe one person doing the bulk of the work himself — the same name comes up again and again across nearly 60 accounts written between 2024 and 2026, from homeowners with a tripped breaker to a gas station with a broken fire-suppression system. The most striking account describes a commercial emergency: during a harsh winter storm, a gas station's fire-suppression system failed, threatening to shut the business down, and after struggling to find anyone willing to help, the owner got Mohamed out in freezing, dark conditions — he climbed the station's canopy late at night to fix it, described in the review as honest and fair rather than taking advantage of the urgent situation. Residential jobs run the same way. A 2026 review described a DIY project that turned up unsettling ceiling wiring; Mohamed was at the house within the hour and had it fixed the same day. Others describe him running new electrical service out to a detached garage to install an EV charger, correcting a GFCI outlet another electrician had wired wrong, and diagnosing a breaker that kept tripping with a clear explanation of the cause. Commercial relationships stand out too: a general contractor's review describes years of working with him on both commercial and residential projects, and a remodeling company owner in Swampscott says he's used Mohamed for four to five years running. There's no negative account anywhere in the written history, and the reviews consistently mention the same things — arriving within an hour of a call, explaining the problem clearly, and pricing that comes in reasonable rather than padded. For anything from a stuck outlet to a commercial emergency, this is a well-documented call.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Boston Electric Service. 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.

Prompt, professional, and efficient electrical work. Found the problem quickly and got my pool equipment running again.
I got just deep enough into a DIY project to recognize the wiring I was finding in my ceiling was .... odd. I called Boston Electric and Mohamed was at the house just over an hour later. Mohamed took care of everything and fixed the newly discovered wiring issues the same day. Professional work. Professional responsiveness. Professional clean-up. These are the guys to hire for your electric work!
Mohamed did an excellent job! He is very knowledgeable, worked efficiently, and did a clean job.
Mohamed was quick to respond and worked quickly to fix several broken outlets. Not an expert on pricing but felt very reasonable for the work that was done.
Had a great experience with the electrician. He quickly diagnosed why the breaker was tripping repeatedly, explained the root cause clearly, and fixed the issue efficiently. The troubleshooting was thorough and professional, and everything was resolved in no time. Really impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail-highly recommend this electrician.
