Verified record
David Bacon Electric works out of Medford, taking on electrical repair and installation jobs around the area β Thumbtack lists him as a Journeyman electrician licensed in Massachusetts, backed by a completed background check, with 24 hires and 19 projects shown on the platform. What stands out across five recent reviews, all from 2026, is how often he catches something someone else missed. In one, National Grid had told a customer they just needed a meter replacement; David found corrosion at the connections instead and fixed the actual problem, then helped the homeowner push back on the utility company. Others describe him responding immediately, arranging a next-day visit, and finishing switch, dimmer, and outlet jobs "in a timely manner and a fair price." The pattern holds across different kinds of calls β a bathroom lighting issue, a circuit-breaker diagnosis, straightforward outlet installs β with reviewers repeatedly calling out his punctuality, stable quotes, and clean finished work. If it's an electrical repair or installation job in the Medford area, the record here is short but consistently strong; confirm his license number against the state board directly before booking, since Thumbtack's own listing is a platform claim, not an independent verification.

David was great to work with. We lost power on one phase and National Grid said we just needed a meter replacement, but that wasn't actually the problem. David found corrosion on the connections that National Grid missed, and he fixed it right instead of just doing the easy thing. He's honest, he has integrity, and he really went above and beyond. He didn't just do the repair, he actually explained what was going on and helped us push back on National Grid, who honestly gave us a really hard time through this whole thing. If you need an electrician, especially if you're dealing with a utility company that isn't giving you straight answers, David is who you want. Highly recommend him and wish him the best with his business.
Dave was outstanding! He arrived right on time, installed several outlets quickly and professionally, and his workmanship was excellent. He was courteous, efficient, and left everything spotless when he finished. It's hard to find someone this reliable and detail-oriented. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Dave again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, honest electrician on Thumbtack.
David responded to my request immediately and made arrangements to come to our home the next day to complete the work. He changed out three old light switches and installed some new dimmers. Great work in a timely manner and a fair price.
I hired David due to some lighting and electrical issues in my bathroom. David was quick to respond, responsive through out the duration of the job, and punctual. He quickly assessed the issues and made recommendation for fixes. He provided a quote that didn't randomly change and gave me to best of the best without breaking my bank. The work quality is a 10/10 and so was the value and professionalism. He was easy to speak with, great demeanor, and polite. Not only would I hire him again but would recommend him for other jobs to friends and family.
He was diligent and focused, carrying out his work in a thoroughly professional manner. Rather than simply trying to make a deal for his business, he set out to solve the problem. Even though I never pressured him, he came to my home right away despite having to travel from far away. There are several things I truly appreciate about how he worked. He clearly understood what needed to be done, and he prioritized that over any concern for profit. That approach helped us find the best solution from the very start. When the right parts weren't available near the local Home Depot, he made a long trip to track them down β and that meant a great deal, since no one wants to see a repair delayed. I found myself trusting his way of thinking. He carefully considers each next step before acting, which helps minimize any chance of a mistake. I doubt many other experienced professionals could have diagnosed the problem the way he did, especially given how young he is β and he's quite handsome, too. I would be more than happy to call on his services again whenever I have an electrical problem. Once more, thank you for his honesty and integrity.
