Verified record
Customers of Coastal Electric keep naming Pat as their electrician. The Hanover company's HomeAdvisor page carries 28 ratings, all of them 5 stars, and its written record runs from 2018 to 2022. In a December 2018 review, a customer described having an EV charger retrofitted onto an old subpanel in the garage. Pat checked whether the subpanel was up to code and could support the charger, explained it clearly, gave a couple of options for running the wire, and afterward walked through what an upgrade to the subpanel would involve and why it was not urgent. A December 2018 customer had four ceiling fans and an exterior motion-sensor light installed. Another that month said Pat explained everything they needed to hook up their generator. In June 2019, a customer had recessed lighting put in two rooms after a same-day visit. Several customers mentioned a clean worksite; one in November 2018 said everything was kept very clean even on a rainy day. A January 2022 customer called the work very neat. Its HomeAdvisor listing names full-service electrical work, generator installations, new construction, renovations and service upgrades. The state registry shows the company's Massachusetts electrician licence, #8144, as expired.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Coastal 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
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Very professional and knowledgeable. his work was very neat
Pat was the ultimate professional. He completed the work in the committed time frame.
Coastal did a great job, was efficient, courteous, and very professional. The level of service they offered was excellent in relation to the cost of the overall project. I fully plan to use them again in the future, and would certainly recommend them for your electrical needs.
Careful work and courteous, would hire again.
Great company
