Verified record
Dana Alarm & Electric is a Gloucester electrician and alarm company that's been in business since 1997, under owner Dana Craaybeek, with 9 employees according to its Better Business Bureau file (BBB hasn't issued it a rating, citing insufficient information, and it isn't accredited). The two reviews on file are both positive and specific. A 2025 review describes a same-day fix after the customer accidentally cut a fire alarm wire during ceiling work, calling the company incredibly communicative throughout. A 2022 review describes a new alarm system installation with a clear explanation of how it worked, calling the staff professional and knowledgeable. With only two reviews to go on, there isn't much of a track record to weigh — but what's there points to a responsive company that handles both electrical and alarm work. It's also a listed member of the Gloucester Chamber of Commerce. Worth confirming current pricing and scheduling directly given how limited the written record is.
They saved me big time. They were able to send someone same day to fix a fire alarm wire I accidentally cut while trying to do some work on my ceiling. Incredibly communicative as well.
Excellent service and explanation of our new alarm system. Professional, knowledgeable staff, I highly recommend!

Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
