Cyr Electric Inc.

Cyr Electric has built its name on emergency response — the reviews that repeat most describe a tree taking down a pole and pulling every electrical line off a house, or a falling limb ripping a meter clean off the siding, with the company on-site within the hour. The company says Darren Cyr started it in 1989, working alone at first after training as a journeyman then master electrician; it's now based in Auburn and serves Worcester and the surrounding towns with residential, commercial and industrial electrical work, plus knob-and-tube replacement and 24/7 emergency calls. The written record runs 2021 through this year — 28 reviews across Google and a Reddit mention — and the emergency-response pattern shows up again and again: in one 2022 review, a downed line was restored by noon after a 7:20am call, and in another 2022 review, a meter torn off by a fallen tree limb was repaired within an hour of the call. In a 2022 review, one customer called Darren an absolute life saver for calling back within a minute during a crisis nobody else would help with. The company's Massachusetts master electrician license is active. Its more recent activity has slowed — only one review has landed in the past six months, a February 2026 account describing many electric jobs handled safely with responsive follow-up — so the deep emergency-response track record here is mostly historical rather than something happening right now. Worth knowing before calling: the company charges a two-hour minimum plus a service fee, and in a 2024 review one customer was surprised to pay roughly $300 for what turned out to be a 15-minute fix under that policy — worth asking about up front for a small job. Separately, in a 2025 review, a driver of a company van was described tailgating and high-beaming another motorist on the Mass Pike — unrelated to any specific repair, but a mark against how the company presents itself on the road. Cyr Electric reads like the call worth having saved for a genuine electrical emergency — storm damage, a torn-off meter, no power — where its track record for showing up fast is well documented; for a small routine job, it's worth confirming the minimum-charge policy first.
