Conklin Electric

Conklin Electric is a one-person, family-run Milton operation — David Conklin has been doing the work himself for about 20 years, covering Milton, Quincy, Canton, South Boston, and the wider South Shore. Across 13 Google reviews from 2022 through 2025 (4.9★ from 18 ratings) plus an A+, non-accredited BBB profile, the same traits keep coming up: he shows up the same day for urgent calls — a flooded basement's sump-pump wiring, a dryer that raised electrical safety worries — and he's repeatedly credited with being straight about what actually needs fixing rather than running up the bill. One reviewer specifically said he talked them out of spending hundreds on repairs that might not have solved the problem. Repeat customers describe lighting he installed for a shed and backyard still working flawlessly more than a year later, and multiple reviews describe him patiently walking elderly homeowners through what went wrong and why. There's no negative review on file, and nothing here points to a downside — just keep in mind it's a sole proprietorship, so scheduling runs through Dave directly rather than a larger crew. For routine repairs or an urgent call — a heating circuit that died, a flooded basement, anything electrical that suddenly needs an honest second opinion — the reviews consistently point to fast, straightforward service.
