DC Electric is a Lowell electrician business homeowners call in when something goes seriously wrong — in a review from September 2026, a customer described an old GFCI outlet shorting out and causing a small fire in their kitchen, and Christian came over promptly to install a new circuit and an extra outlet. Its Massachusetts electrician license (8803) is active on the state registry, held by DC Electric Inc.; Thumbtack's own profile shows a 'License verified' badge for a journeyman electrician license. The company's website also says it's insured, offers free estimates, and has 15 years in business. Most reviews describe working with Christian directly, though a September 2026 review names David coming out on short notice on a Saturday to fix lights that had gone out across a bathroom, closet, and bedroom, explaining the problem before finishing the job in a few hours. Christian's work spans small emergency fixes and larger jobs: an April 2026 review described searching for months before finding him for basement work and outdoor outlet installs; a March 2026 review said he came the next day to repair a nicked feeder wire going into the main panel, calling it a safety issue; and an August 2025 review described him installing an EV charger. A May 2025 review said that after spending hours diagnosing a microwave that kept tripping the breaker, he determined the microwave itself was faulty rather than the wiring, and charged only $100 for the work. Reviewers across 2025 and 2026 also describe smaller jobs — recessed lighting, kitchen pendant lights, ceiling fans, outdoor lanterns, and updating outlets in older homes to bring them up to code — along with repeat customers and referrals from neighbors. For an electrical emergency, a panel or wiring safety issue, or smaller lighting and outlet work, DC Electric is a strong call — confirm which technician is assigned and get pricing in writing before the job starts.
All the lights in my apartment bathroom, closet, and bedroom suddenly went out, and David generously came in on a short notice on a Saturday to get our lights up and running again. He throughly explained what was going on before fixing everything in only a few hours. He even took the time to wipe down the floors to remove the white flakes and dust from the wall sockets he removed and reinstalled. Highly professional, super friendly, and thoughtful service and clean up afterwards!
We had an old GFCI outlet in the kitchen that shorted and caused a small fire in our kitchen. Christian came over promptly and installed a new circuit and an additional outlet for us. He’s on time, professional and very fair. I would not hesitate to hire him again for any electrical needs. Very pleased with his work.
The service was great! Christian was very knowledgeable and professional. My house was back up and running in no time.
Christian is great! He came out same day to provide an estimate and completed the project the following day. Will definitely be hiring him again!
After months of searching for a reliable electrician, I was finally introduced to Christian. He completed work in my basement as well as some outdoor outlet installations. Not only was he professional, but he also kept everything clean and organized throughout the job. The struggle of finding a dependable electrician is finally over now that I’ve seen the quality of Christian’s work. Highly recommend
