## The honest read

Chad Woods runs a one-person electrical business based in Dracut, Massachusetts, and the reviews keep circling back to one job: backup generators. Between 2020 and 2022, homeowner after homeowner describes him wiring transfer switches and whole-house generator hookups, and explaining exactly how to operate them afterward — "walked us through how to operate the switch," one wrote in 2020; another the same year called him "competent, quick, and neat."

More recent work leans smaller. A 2025 review describes him installing ceiling lights and a bathroom fan and swapping an outside receptacle in one visit; another from that year found him "prompt, honest, very smart and experienced and reasonably priced." By 2026 he'd added EV charger installation to the list — newer work for a business whose written reviews stretch back six years.

The same two things show up whether the review is from 2020 or 2026: he explains the job before and after, and he leaves the site clean. A 2025 customer specifically flagged his "transparency," saying he helped cut labor costs when they wanted to handle some prep work themselves.

That six-year span of largely five-star accounts, without a real complaint running through it, says more about how consistently this business operates than any single review does.

For a generator hookup, a fan or fixture install, or an EV charger, this is a well-documented call. The reviews don't describe larger panel upgrades or full rewiring jobs, so it's worth asking directly if the work goes beyond what's covered here.

**Strengths:**
- Generator installs — repeated, detailed praise across years
- Clear communication — reviewers cite thorough explanations
- Clean job sites — multiple reviewers note tidy cleanup
