Boston Light & Power is an owner-operated electrical business based in Milton — the kind of shop homeowners call for a stuck breaker, an EV charger, or a full panel upgrade. The company says it was started by Ryan Kelson and Matt Fallon, both licensed electricians, and its Google page carries close to 80 ratings, nearly all five stars — reviewers name Ryan or Matt directly often enough that it sounds like two people who still show up to the jobs themselves.
The reviews line up behind a handful of recurring jobs: EV chargers, panel and service upgrades (including a 200-amp upgrade in Barnstable), whole-home rewiring, and a lot of smaller lighting work — hanging fixtures, mounting a TV, adding recessed or exterior sensor lighting. One review describes a diagnosis job that took under 30 minutes to trace flickering lights and a tripping breaker to their source, with the electrician sketching a diagram to explain the fix before finishing it. The company's Massachusetts electrician license (#24281) is verified active in the state registry under Ryan Kelson's name, matching the number the business lists on its own site.
The company says its history runs a little longer than its current name suggests — it operated previously as Harborside Electric with the same crew and license before rebranding, and a few reviews, including one from a home improvement contractor describing Ryan fixing other electricians' shoddy wiring, still refer to it that way. Whichever name was on the truck, the license and the people behind it stayed the same.
Nothing in the reviews raises a real complaint: none of the 71 on file are negative, and the one that isn't five stars just says 'good' with no detail attached. That's a short public track record to judge consistency against over multiple seasons — not a concern on its own, just something to keep in mind.
Boston Light & Power fits homeowners across the South Shore — Milton, Boston, Quincy, Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham, Cohasset, Scituate, Hanover and Norwell, by its own account — looking for straightforward electrical work, from a small fix to a full panel upgrade. Confirm they can cover the 24/7 emergency line the company advertises, since none of the reviews describe using it yet.
