D.P. Electric, Inc. is an electrical contractor in Blackstone, Massachusetts that reviewers know simply as Dave and "Little Dave" — the company says it has been in business since 1981. Homeowners call them for panel upgrades and everyday outlet, switch and fixture work, and its Angi reviews return again and again to the same theme: a fast callback and someone who shows up when they say they will. That shows up in specifics. In a 2026 review, a homeowner described losing power to stove and barn lights after a surge — Dave took a video call, sent his team out the next morning, and had it diagnosed and fixed within an hour. Another described losing her home office internet and phones right before a holiday and getting same-day help after other electricians wouldn't call back. A 2022 review describes the crew wiring in a whole-house generator and walking the homeowner through how it would work; a 2025 review describes eight recessed lights and a dimmer installed in a single six-hour visit. Several reviewers say they've called the company back for more than one job. Pricing is the one place accounts diverge: a 2025 review called the price for one job "absurd," while a 2021 review called the price for materials and labor "very fair" — worth getting a firm number up front rather than assuming either account is typical. One thing worth confirming directly: the company's Massachusetts electrician license shows up on the state registry as expired, so ask to see current licensing and insurance before booking. For a routine panel upgrade, an outlet or fixture repair, or a generator hookup, this is a company with a long, specific track record behind it — just settle the price and confirm the paperwork before the crew arrives.

I called Dave the owner and he was kind and offered advise as to how to see if I could fix the problem myself by doing a few simple remedies. But, when it didn't work he sent Little Dave out the very next day. He came with his intern and they were very professional and diagnosed the problem right away and set out to fix the problem. They went over every aspect with me as to the cause and the fix. They cleaned up the area after themselves and the job was done well. Dave gave me a reasonable quoted amount for the job. I used them again to fix some exposed wires outside the house with the same fantastic results. Very happy with the company. I would definitely call them again if I needed any work done. Would recommend their services.
Excellent service From Dave and "Little Dave" After a brief power outage and subsequent surge I found stove and barn lights were not working, even after resetting the breakers in basement and barn. !. Immediate callback from Dave the owner who Listened and asked for video feedback. Dispatched his team after noting to have the appropriate breakers on the service van 2. Appointment next am With "Little Dave" and apprentice who showed up ahead of schedule. A pleasure to meet and talk with. Showed me the problem as the original panel labeling was misplaced. DID NOT try to sell me something I did not need. He checked and showed the results of a working stove and barn when finished. 3. Finished within an hour, courteous, polite, and friendly throughout. In an era of not even getting a callback from contractors, DP electric stands out as reliable and efficient and performing quality work. You have earned my trust. High praises! I will Definity Use them for further work Keep on Rocking DP!
Little Dave came out today and diagnosed and replaced my exterior electrical wiring. If it had not been replaced could have been very dangerous for me in the future. Just knowing that he could fix the problem made me feel safer in my home meant the world to me. He had been out to my house before and fixed some wiring issues in the past also. Dave and his associates have been very professional and courteous. I will call them again if ever I need an electrician. I recommend their services highly. A+
Responded and completed job quickly. Totally satisfied. Would recommend and use again.
Lost power to my home office hub/work center (WIFI, connected cable, land line, computers, printers, etc). I wasn't able to secure an appointment for days considering the holiday is right around the corner and I have limited availability. I had put the word out and DP Electric was the last to reach out to me and was able to quickly address my issue and had my home office up and running and fully operational. DP Electric saved my week allowing me to do damage control and keep my holiday plans on schedule. Thanks guys!
