"1 call. 2 days. 2 men. Over 8 hrs" is how a July 2026 Google reviewer summed up Craig Faria Electrician, adding that the crew "saved my home and our lives." Craig Faria is the Rhode Island electrician of record on licence B-011685, which the state registry shows as active, and the company says it has been in business for 30 years. Its website lists a service area across southeastern Massachusetts, from New Bedford and Fall River to Taunton, Bridgewater and Mansfield. The company holds a 4.9-star average from 25 Google ratings, and the written reviews run from 2021 to 2026. Many describe a fast first response. In a March 2026 review, a customer losing power to a faulty 100-amp breaker at the meter box said two electricians arrived within an hour, quoted a price the customer called very reasonable, and spent an hour and a half to two hours from arrival to completion. A 2022 reviewer said Craig answered the first call, came first thing the next morning, went for parts, and had a pool house back up and running the same day. Another, in 2022, got service around closing time on Veterans' Day. The jobs range widely: a storm-damaged weatherhead and service drop replaced in 2021, two chandeliers installed in 2022 (one on a 17-foot cathedral ceiling) at the price quoted over the phone, an EV outlet in a garage in 2023, and an improper switch replaced in a 2023 apartment job after Tony and John diagnosed a problem affecting much of the unit. A 2021 customer credited Craig with sorting out the local electrical department and wiring inspector in a day after weeks of runaround. In a January 2025 review, Old Colony Habitat for Humanity thanked the team for showing up the next day, a week before the holiday, donating their time and completing the wiring of a Taunton home in three days. A March 2025 reviewer said they had hired the team several times over ten years for renovation and real estate portfolio properties. The one complaint is a 2★ review from August 2025. The company was subcontracted for the electrical work on a heat pump installation; two workers finished in about 60 to 90 minutes, and the customer objected to one worker using the home's bathroom for an extended visit, calling it unprofessional.

Craig Faria electric recently responded to a problem outside at our meter box. The house was loosing electric power because of a faulty 100 amp breaker. They arrived within an hour and quoted a very reasonable price to fix the problem. From arrival until completion was 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The two electricians were professional and polite. Breaker was worn out where it mounted to the meter buss. Replaced and checked. No more issues. Thanks guys!
This review will be divisive, and spark many opinions-but here goes-- We recently had a plumbing contractor install a heat pump. They subcontracted the electrical work to Craig Faria Co. On the second day, 2 workers showed up in a Faria company van (see photo)and took only about 60-90 minutes to complete their work. This service is listed on our invoice as costing 2 thousand $. That cost was figured into the estimate by the plumbers-Pricy? Maybe, but not the point or the problem. What was a problem, was that the older male electrician( the owner perhaps?) I forget his name) about 55-65, heavyset, light hair-asked me if "it was okay to use the bathroom"? "Sure". I said. Wrongfully assuming that he would need to urinate. His assistant that morning also asked to use the bathroom as well, and was in and out within 2 minutes. This older gentleman, however, must have been in my bathroom for at least 8-10 minutes. You can assume what he did-A number 2, a bowel movement!!! Now the point of this review/commentary: I fully understand that someone working for you on or in your home should have access to a bathroom. However; I have owned 3 homes over the last 40 years, and never, ever, ever, has a worker taken a big old smelly dump in my bathroom!!!! He did use the air spray-To no avail. I bleached the entire room after I realized what happened. So, while Craig Faria Co. may be amazing electricians, at least one of their workers felt entitled to befoul our bathroom. Even IF, he had some medical condition-There is NO excuse! This was a very, very, quick job-there were several places(shops, gas stations, etc..)besides my home at which he could have "taken care of his business "! Hell, he passed at least 5 Dunkin's on the way! Totally unprofessional and a lesson for me. If a contractor asks to use my bathroom I am telling them that if it is for anything but urination, head down the road ! Perhaps not a popular opinion, but one that homeowners need to be aware of. Next time I have a multi-day job, I will rent a porta-john!!
