Fourteen ratings, every one of them five stars, and the same first name in most of the write-ups: Chris. CH Electric is a small Salem outfit that describes itself as mostly residential with substantial commercial experience, and its listing puts it at eight years in the trade. The jobs customers describe are the ones that make or break a week. In March 2025 a homeowner with a serious electrical panel problem had it resolved within a few hours, and said the team took on several other last-minute items while they were there. In June 2022 a customer running a kitchen renovation credited them with making the space safe for demolition and then completing the rough-in for new lighting and switching on a schedule that had to mesh with other trades. Lighting comes up repeatedly: recessed lights and fixture swaps in a living room in October 2023; new fixtures, smart thermostats through a house and replaced recessed trims in June 2022; basement lights that same month. In April 2026 a customer had a four-way switch fault fixed quickly at what they called a fair price. The other thread is conduct rather than craft. An October 2022 customer noted that Chris asked questions, answered theirs, and cleaned up when the work was finished, and a September 2022 customer described him as punctual, reliable and affordable. For panel work, lighting and a renovation rough-in on the North Shore, this is a consistently reviewed small shop with a short history. The volume is modest at fourteen ratings, so ask for a recent local reference, and confirm the Massachusetts electrical licence number against the state registry before work starts.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from CH Electric LLC. 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.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Chris gave me a fair price and fixed my 4 way switch issue quickly
CH Electric were incredible! We had a major issue with our electric panel, and they were able to help us resolve it within just a few hours. They were also super flexible to add various other projects to the list last minute. Very honest, dependable, and hard-working team.
On time and great job.
Chris did a fantastic job installing recessed lights in our living room and swapping out some light fixtures. He was very responsive, professional and great to work with. Highly recommend working with Chris!
They did a great job! They were very quick and very reasonably priced. I will absolutely use them again.
