Colonial Electric inc

Colonial Electric is a Weymouth electrician built almost entirely around one name customers keep repeating: Scott. Across 192 reviews since 2022 — a 5.0-star average from 236 Google ratings — the write-ups describe the same electrician showing up call after call. Its Massachusetts electrician license (No. 8720) is verified active. The thing that shows up again and again is speed under pressure: reviewers describe Scott arriving the same day their AC quit on the hottest day of summer, the same day a breaker and AC failed together, and on a weekend when a faulty outlet turned into a fire hazard. One customer called during a Fourth of July weekend outage and got a callback the same day; another called during a snowstorm when their heat kept cutting out and got a follow-up call the next day just to check it was still working. Several reviews point to something more specific than general praise — a willingness to say when the cheaper fix is the right one. One customer who thought they needed a new circuit was told the real problem was a failing sump pump motor instead; another wrote that Scott "pointed out things that were priorities and things that weren't necessarily needed." The work itself ranges widely: panel upgrades, generator hookups, recessed lighting, a swimming pool's electrical work, and rewiring old homes with outdated wiring — a 2025 review describes Scott assessing a house with "ancient wiring" and recommending how to modernize it. A couple of reviews credit a team member, Greg, with ductless mini-split AC installs. There's essentially no negative signal in the recent record — the last 13 reviews are clean. For anything from a panel upgrade to an emergency call, this is a company where the same electrician tends to be the one who shows up.
