Verified record
During a winter storm in December 2025, a homeowner needed an electrical fault found before the heat could come back on, and wrote afterward that Dave Cooper made himself available and diagnosed it. Several 2025 reviewers describe the same sequence — he answered, he explained what he found, the work got scheduled quickly. David Cooper Electrician works out of Methuen: a sole proprietorship the BBB records as started in 2003 with two employees under owner David Cooper, covering the Merrimack Valley and into New Hampshire for residential, commercial and industrial work. His Massachusetts electrician licence, #23691, is active on the state registry, and the BBB grades the business A+. Eighteen Google reviews, all from 2025, average 5★, and two kinds of job come up again and again. One is old-house wiring. A July 2025 customer had three things handled at once — stripping out electrical done by others, new exterior outlets, and remediation of live knob-and-tube — and wrote that the work was done as quoted and scheduled quickly; a June 2025 reviewer said knob-and-tube wiring in their home was updated at a fair price. The other is lighting. A January 2025 customer described new LED recessed lights in the kitchen and dimmable fixtures in the bedroom; another that month credited Cooper with lighting design, layout and fixture options; a homeowner writing about a two-bedroom, one-bath addition in January 2025 said the team walked them through smart lighting programming. A January 2025 reviewer working on high-end projects pointed to his design sense on smart lighting plans. The bigger electrical work shows up too. An August 2025 customer had a new subpanel and disconnect installed to support a hot tub, plus switches moved for a new closet light. A business owner writing the same month called him an essential subcontractor from small jobs to large projects, and a June 2025 reviewer had worked with him on multiple multi-family renovations. Several customers call him their go-to electrician, and one wrote in January 2025 that Cooper had done work at their home and a second property for 20 years. If your house still has knob-and-tube, or you want recessed lighting and smart switches planned rather than just hung, this is the shop those reviews describe. Get the scope and price in writing before the crew starts, confirm insurance, and ask how long the job will tie up power in the rooms you live in.
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.
