Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from D.E.S. Systems, LLC. 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.

Steve Durning has been doing electrical work in South Walpole under D.E.S. Systems for years, and the word that keeps surfacing across four review platforms is the same one: prompt. His Massachusetts electrician license, #16589, is active and verified directly against the state registry. The written record is long and almost uniformly positive — 55 reviews since 2018 across Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack, the great majority five stars. In a 2020 review, a customer described Steve responding the same day and repairing a water-damaged circuit breaker within half an hour of arriving; another from that year said he called back the same day after a request and was done within a few hours. A 2020 review recounts a full rewire of twelve outlets to the breaker box finished in half a day, and a 2025 reviewer needed a car charger installed and called the result amazing. Pricing comes up often and favorably: a 2020 review notes D.E.S.'s quote came in at roughly a fifth of a competing bid for the same job, and reviewers in both 2020 and 2021 separately call the pricing fair or reasonable. The newest review on file is from March 2026; most of the detailed, story-length accounts date from 2018 through 2021, so the specifics above are drawn from across that span rather than the last few months, though nothing in the written record suggests anything has changed since. There's nothing here to caution about — no complaints, no pricing disputes, no government actions turn up anywhere in the record. For anyone in the South Walpole or Eastern Massachusetts area needing an electrician — a panel upgrade, a generator hookup, a stubborn circuit issue — this is a licensed, well-documented option with years of showing up and finishing the job.
