Coghlin Electrical Contractors is listed in Worcester as an electrical contractor. BBB lists Electrician, while BuildZoom lists Electrical Work and shows 130 projects, giving the profile a documented electrical footprint. The available public discussion is not a customer review: a 2021 Reddit post lists Coghlin Electrical Contractors as an AVOS Locker ransomware victim. That is a negative event reference, but it does not describe electrical workmanship or customer service. Before booking, confirm the current Massachusetts license status directly with the licensing authority. BuildZoom reports electrician license #5255 as inactive/expired and lists other inactive licenses, including #13033, SSCO-000822, and SS6481. Ask for a current license number, the exact work covered, and a written proposal before hiring.
