Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Clifford Electric Inc.. 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

Clifford Electric has been David Clifford's own shop in Salem since 1991 — he's a licensed master electrician in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and the company's Massachusetts electrician license is verified active. It specializes in knob-and-tube rewiring, common in the North Shore's older housing stock, and offers free estimates. In a 2024 review, a customer described Dave and his crew handling a renovation — new pendant lights, rewiring for a modern oven, and a bathroom circuit upgrade — while explaining each step along the way; the reviewer singled out the crew's courteousness and how clean they kept the site. A 2024 Reddit thread in r/SalemMA echoed that, with a poster in an old house calling their experience with Clifford "very good." It's a thin written record so far — one review and one Reddit mention — but both point the same direction: attentive, tidy work with clear communication.
“We have had very good experience with Clifford Electric for this sort of thing in our old house.”
Dave and his crew were so helpful with our recent renovation. They installed new pendant lights, rewired for a modern oven and upgraded the circuit in the bathroom. Every step of the way Dave explained what was being done and why. The thing that I was most impressed with was the courteousness of the whole crew, and the cleanliness of the job throughout the whole proccess! Highly recommend!!
