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

Typical electrical project around $820
Cognati Electric, run by Mauro out of Danvers, is the kind of shop homeowners describe going back to for years — the review record spans 2023 through mid-2026 across Google and Angi, and a striking number of reviewers mention using the company more than once or referring friends and family. The work ranges from a single outlet or light fixture to full panel upgrades, generator installs, and EV chargers. Communication is the thing reviewers single out most: recent reviews describe Mauro explaining the issue and the options before starting and walking through pricing with no pressure, and in a 2025 review one customer described a follow-up call after the job to confirm everything still worked. The scope of jobs described runs wide: in 2023 reviews, customers describe a $7,500 project handled punctually and thoroughly, a 100-amp service update plus ceiling lights, a chandelier, outlets and HVAC wiring for a kitchen remodel, generator installs, and panel rewiring across two rental properties; a 2024 review describes an EV charger going in alongside recessed and undercabinet lighting. A recent review, from July 2026, describes a fast fix that got power back to a workshop. The one substantive complaint in the record, from a February 2025 review, describes a replaced thermostat that began malfunctioning within days and stayed that way through the winter despite repeated calls and texts that went unanswered for months — worth asking about their process for a callback if something needs a second look. Separately, a one-star review from May 2026 complains about aggressive driving by 'one of your drivers' on Storrow Drive; it never mentions Cognati, Mauro, or any electrical work, and reads as unrelated to the company's actual trade work. On Google the company holds a 4.8★ average from 46 ratings, and its Angi rating is a perfect 5.0★ from 15. Given how consistently reviewers across both platforms describe clear communication and work ranging from small repairs to full panel and generator installs, Cognati looks like a solid call for anything from a quick fix to a bigger electrical project — just confirm follow-up expectations if something needs revisiting after the job is done.
A very quick solution got power to my workshop back on in no time. Was able to look at another issue and answer questions about it in a friendly manner. Looking forward to calling again
Hello, I would like to report dangerous and aggressive driving by one of your drivers in Boston today. I was driving toward Storrow Drive in the right lane when one of your black trucks cut into my lane aggressively and nearly caused a collision. I have the incident recorded on my dash camera. After that, the driver made offensive gestures toward me, and when I attempted to pass, the driver moved the truck toward my vehicle again in what appeared to be another aggressive maneuver. The driver also appeared to be laughing during the incident. I believe this behavior was extremely unsafe and unprofessional, especially in heavy Boston traffic. I am submitting this complaint because I do not want someone driving in this manner while representing your company. I have video footage available if needed Thank you.
I’ve used Cognati Electric Inc. multiple times over the past few years for both my home and a rental property. Mauro has consistently been polite, responsive, and transparent in all of our communication. The team has handled a wide range of projects, including installing overhead lighting and ceiling fans, rewiring outlets and switches, upgrading fuse panels, and installing smoke and CO₂ detectors. They always arrive on time, are professional and pleasant to work with, and leave the space clean when the job is done. I will absolutely continue using Cognati Electric for my future electrical needs and highly recommend them.
Very professional. Transparency. Responsive. I very highly recommend Cognati Electric to a business or residential services. Been a small business owner for over 20 years, been through 10 plus electricians but this is the first time I can say electrician has been transparent with their work
Mauro and his crew installed recessed lighting in 5 rooms of our home. Workmanship. communication and reliability were all top notch and we love the results!
