D.C. Kaufman Electrical, Inc.

D.C. Kaufman Electrical is a Waltham electrical contractor run by Dave Kaufman, with Marisa handling the office and scheduling and Chris named among the field electricians. It's been doing residential and commercial work in Greater Boston and MetroWest for about 26 years, per BBB, which also lists the company as an A+ accredited business. Specific jobs described in reviews range from routine repairs — a flickering kitchen switch and a dead outdoor floodlight fixed in about an hour — to bigger projects like a major panel upgrade to support a new EV charger and a switch to heat pumps, and running new electrical service to a house after a storm took down a utility pole. One reviewer, an electrical contractor themselves, hired Kaufman to repair a damaged radiant floor heating system and said the crew arrived with the right tools and did the job well. Several customers say they've used the company multiple times over the years, including one who's called on them for more than a decade across personal and rental properties. Two older Angi reviews, from 2018, mention the pricing runs higher than average — one cites a $150-an-hour rate — though both reviews were otherwise positive about the speed and quality of the work. Angi also lists a self-reported trade license number for the company that hasn't been independently verified. For electrical work from a quick repair to a full panel upgrade in the Waltham/MetroWest area, D.C. Kaufman is a well-established, reliable choice — just ask for a clear hourly rate or quote up front given what a couple of reviewers say about pricing.
