CNE Electrical

CNE Electrical is a Peabody, Massachusetts electrical contractor holding an active Massachusetts electrician license, held under CNE Electrical LLC, with an A+ BBB grade and a 5-star Google average from 49 ratings. Owner Chris Ellis runs the company himself, and its site describes it as specializing in standby generator installation as a Generac Authorized Dealer, electrical panel upgrades, and EV charger installation across the North Shore. The 44 reviews on file, running from 2022 through 2026, describe a business that handles everything from whole-house renovations and additions to smaller emergency fixes. Reviewers describe Chris and his crew wiring full additions and basement renovations — including a service upgrade from 200 to 400 amps, a bathroom remodel, and a whole-home refurbishment fitted with smart technology. On the equipment side, customers describe Tesla Wall Connector installs, standby generator installs, including for a newly purchased home, and a straightforward 200A panel replacement with a new disconnect and sub panel finished in a day. A recurring theme worth noting: several reviewers are themselves contractors or builders who use CNE repeatedly on client projects — one says they "wouldn't put our business at risk if CNE was anything less than top notch", and another, a contractor of many years, says CNE never needs to be asked twice to go the extra mile. One reviewer specifically credits Chris and his team with fixing shoddy work left by a previous electrician and bringing it up to code. Recent activity keeps the same shape — 7 reviews in the last six months, none negative — and responsiveness comes up again and again: reviewers describe Chris personally answering the phone, fitting in small jobs, and returning years later for follow-up work on a generator installed long before. For generator installs, panel upgrades, EV chargers, or a full renovation's electrical work across the North Shore, this is a heavily reviewed, consistently well-regarded electrician — trusted enough that other contractors keep bringing him back.
