Coastal Light Electric

Coastal Light Electric is a one-man-plus-crew shop out of South Yarmouth, run by Aliaksei Kuharenka since 2011, and the calls that keep coming in are service upgrades and EV chargers — the kind of job where a panel needs to come up to code before a car charger or a solar system can go in. Not a single negative account turns up anywhere in nearly two decades of reviews. Across Google, Angi, BuildZoom and Porch, the ratings sit at 5.0 or close to it, and the specifics repeat: quotes that come back fast and hold, same-day visits, work finished ahead of schedule rather than behind it. In a 2024 review, a customer described Alex meeting them the same day they called, pricing a service upgrade and EV charger install fairly, then finishing the job a day early. In a 2009 review, a customer described him arranging for a roofer to be on site to properly weatherproof an attic fan replacement rather than leaving the non-electrical part to the homeowner to sort out. Most of the story-length reviews date from 2008 through 2018, so the written record here runs long rather than fresh — only two reviews land within the last six months, both five stars, both on Google. The state's electrician license registry confirms #20711 as active under Kuharenka's name, and the company's own site lists panel/service upgrades, generator wiring, and solar PV and battery-storage installation alongside standard residential and commercial wiring. Angi's FAQ for the business notes it does not offer emergency service or a formal warranty, so a homeowner with a middle-of-the-night problem should call around rather than assume this shop will pick up. BBB has no rating or reviews on file, which just means BBB isn't where its customers show up. For a service upgrade, an EV charger, or a solar tie-in on the Cape, this is a shop with a real, verifiable track record and nothing but praise attached to it — worth asking for a couple of recent references given how much of the written record predates 2018, and worth calling ahead if the job is urgent since after-hours coverage isn't something they advertise.
