Bovill Electric

Bovill Electric is a family-owned electrical contractor based in Rockland, MA, serving residential and commercial customers across the South Shore. Jake Bovill founded the company in 2021, and it has grown into a small family operation with Dana Bovill managing operations alongside other family members and crew. Customers who hired Bovill Electric describe the same things again and again across four years of Google reviews: clear communication, on-time arrivals, and fair pricing, with a five-star average across 28 reviews and no negative ones. People hired the company for panel upgrades, whole-home generator installations, EV charger installs, recessed lighting, and rewiring, and several rehired them for additional projects afterward. A 2025 review describes a difficult panel upgrade with a new feed line running across multiple units during an office-to-commercial-kitchen conversion, and a 2022 review walks through a full generator installation from the initial consultation through the transfer-switch wiring and startup. Reviewers also repeatedly name the same small crew, Jake, Dana, Tommy and Sophie, suggesting a consistent team rather than rotating subcontractors. Jake Bovill holds active Massachusetts and New Hampshire electrician licenses, both verified against the state licensing registries. The company also lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, though that comes from the company's own website and a contractor directory rather than a state registry check. Worth asking about directly: a related Massachusetts electrician credential shown on one contractor directory, License #23885-A, is marked active but carries an expiration date of July 2025 that has already passed, even though the state registry itself lists Jacob Bovill's Massachusetts electrician license as current. Separately, Angi's page for the company states both 'more than 7 years of experience' in its text and '5 years of experience' in its own highlights field, and the shorter figure lines up with the company's 2021 founding date. Public Massachusetts building permit records also list 57 electrical projects filed under the business, showing steady licensed work beyond what the reviews alone capture. Bovill Electric is a reasonable choice for South Shore homeowners who want a small, hands-on family crew for panel work, generator and EV charger installs, and general electrical repairs, backed by a currently active state license held by the person running the company.
