Charles Electrical Company describes itself as a family-owned electrical contractor based at 104 Charles St in Boston, serving Boston neighborhoods and nearby towns including Cambridge, Somerville and Brookline, by its own account. The company says it's led and personally run by Rex Santos, a licensed Master Electrician who it says does not subcontract work out. Its site lists residential wiring, panel upgrades, 24/7 emergency repairs, and code-compliance work as what it's hired for. Confirm Rex Santos's Master Electrician license number directly with the state before booking, and ask about current availability for emergency calls.
