Cox Electric is a one-man electrical shop out of Newton Center run by Will Cox, taking on the everyday jobs — outlet swaps, fixture and fan installs, circuit breaker repairs — that come up around a house. Five Thumbtack reviews from June and July 2026 tell a consistent story: he shows up when he says he will, sometimes the same day he's called, and does the work carefully. One customer described him mounting and balancing four ceiling fans without a single wobble, cleaning up all the packaging afterward, and pricing the job exactly as quoted with no hidden fees. Others mention him replacing a pool circuit breaker and time clock on the first visit and handling a run of smaller repairs — lighting, outlets, minor renovations — that they called clean and well labeled. The record is short — five reviews, all on Thumbtack, over about six weeks — so there isn't much yet to weigh beyond that early run. Thumbtack lists a Massachusetts Journeyman Electrician license under his name, along with Top Pro and background-checked badges, though that's the platform's own listing rather than something checked against the state registry. For small, one-off electrical work around Newton, he's worth a call; for anyone who wants a longer track record to lean on, it's still being written.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Cox Electric. 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.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
I am very satisfied with the outstanding service provided by Will from Cox Electric for my ceiling fan installations. Will arrived exactly on time, brought all the necessary equipment, and maintained a highly professional attitude. Before starting, he took the time to inspect the ceilings and verify the mounting boxes for all four rooms. He worked efficiently to assemble, mount, and perfectly balance every single fan to ensure there was no wobbling. After completing the job, he made sure to thoroughly clean up all the packaging materials and left my home spotless. The final pricing was fair, transparent, and matched the initial multi-fan estimate perfectly with no hidden fees. My new fans are functioning safely, quietly, and correctly. I highly recommend Cox Electric services to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and honest electrician.
