David Cooper Electrician Inc. is a Methuen electrical contractor built almost entirely on repeat and referred business — reviewers keep mentioning using Dave for a second, third, or "7 or 8" project over the years. His Massachusetts electrician license (#23691) is active and state-verified, and the company holds a BBB A+ grade. The work described spans real range: new subpanels and disconnects for a hot tub installation, exterior outlets, remediation of old knob-and-tube wiring, recessed lighting installs, and smart-home lighting programming. In a late-2025 review, a homeowner said Dave met them on short notice to walk through last-minute electrical fixes before selling their house, then had his team finish everything in under a day. In another late-2025 review, a customer described Dave running a new circuit out to a hot tub through finished ceilings and exterior walls and leaving the site clean. And in a review from earlier in 2025, someone who'd used him for about 20 years across two properties said they still trust him with all their electrical work. A theme across the reviews: reliability under time pressure. One customer, snowed in during a winter storm, said Dave made himself available to diagnose an issue that restored their heat. Others describe him showing up on quoted schedules for additions, multi-family renovation work, and knob-and-tube remediation, and several say they've brought him in for family members' homes after their own projects went well. There's nothing negative in the record to flag — no complaints, no licensing issues, and the written history is limited to 2025, with no review yet from the past several months specifically. For anything from a panel upgrade to smart lighting to old-wiring remediation, this is a licensed, well-reviewed electrician with a long-running client base — worth getting on the schedule given how often past customers say they keep coming back.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. And to say Dave went above and beyond would be an understatement. He made himself available, during a winter storm, to diagnose an electrical issue that helped restore heat to our home. I found him to be communicative, on-time, and able to explain issues and solutions in plain English. Highly recommended!
Dave and his team did a great job on 2 electrical projects. I needed a new subpanel and disconnect to support a new hot tub installation. I also needed some switches moved to support a new closet with a new light. Dave is easy to work with and kept me informed throughout the process. They had to run a new line out to the hot tub and had to work through a finished ceiling and outside walls. The work looks great and they left everything perfectly clean. I was so satisfied that I even brought Dave to my brothers house as he was looking to upgrade his main panel and to add a new subpanel. My brother was also impressed with Dave’s evaluation of his current panel and options that could be considered. He plans on going forward with Dave. I highly recommend Dave for your next electrical project- whether big or small!
Dave and his team have been an essential subcontractor for my business. From small jobs to large projects Dave is always there when we need him.
David Cooper and team handled three projects at my home. Removal of electrical done by others, installation of new exterior outlets and remediation of live knob & tube wiring. On all three projects the work was done as quoted and scheduled quickly. Dave clearly explained areas of concern to manage my expectations of cost and the length of time to complete the projects. Team arrived on time, finished early and provided recommendations for other electrical improvements. Highly recommended.
I found Dave Cooper by reading Google reviews and they were very accurate. Dave is a true professional and a wonderful electrician! He responded to my message immediately and we had the project scheduled and completed within days of my initial call. I hired Dave to install some outdoor light fixtures for me. He was a perfectionist in his work and they look beautiful. In addition to his electrical skills, Dave is the kindest person and goes the extra mile to help. I feel very blessed that I found Dave Cooper and will continue to use him for all my electrical needs.
