# Cognati Electric Inc.

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 18 Wadsworth St, Danvers, MA 01923, USA · **Phone:** (617) 513-8229 · **Website:** https://cognatielectricma.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 4.5/5** (high confidence) — from 55 reviews across 5 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
96% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 9 reviews, 1 negative.

## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- Clear communication — explains work and pricing before starting
- Wide project range — from outlet swaps to panel upgrades and generators
- Repeat customers — many return or refer friends and family
- Responsive on short notice — same or next-day scheduling described repeatedly

**Concerns:**
- Unresolved malfunction — a replaced thermostat kept failing with no follow-up visit

- A 1-star review complains about aggressive driving by 'one of your drivers' on Storrow Drive; it never references Cognati, Mauro, or any electrical work, and appears unrelated to (or misattributed to) this business's actual trade work — the arithmetic prices it as a normal negative review, but it isn't evidence about the electrical work itself, so the read moves above the anchor to reflect that. _(confidence: medium)_
