Deao Electric

Deao Electric, based in Middleton, is the call for panel and service upgrades — the kind of job that shows up again and again in its Google reviews: a 200A upgrade for a kitchen addition, a sub panel added to support a second home EV charger, knob-and-tube replacement paired with Mass Save insulation work. Across 57 reviews spanning 2021 through 2026 and a 4.7★ average on 100 Google ratings, the electricians most often named are Chris, Kevin and Matt, alongside office staff Lisa and Susan. What stands out in the detailed reviews isn't just the work but the follow-through: a Christmas-morning outage where the exterior conduit had been ripped off the house, and Chris coordinated the permit, the building inspector and National Grid to get power restored; a job that required tracking down a plumber before the electrical work for a boiler could proceed; a bathroom-light job quoted through BBB and finished for the exact price quoted. Recent activity has stayed positive — three reviews in the last six months, none negative. The record isn't spotless, though. In a November 2025 review, a customer says a panel job was never inspected, and a neighbor in the same attached building later found the same problem when hers was checked, meaning the work had to be redone. A September 2025 review describes a no-show for a scheduled 7:30am appointment with no advance notice. Two older reviews raise similar flags: a 2022 account says an under-cabinet lighting quote went unexplained and the company stopped responding, and a 2021 review alleges a breaker was shut off without being disclosed. Deao Electric fits homeowners tackling panel upgrades, knob-and-tube removal ahead of insulation work, or EV charging installs, where its named electricians have a deep, specific track record. Given the inspection and no-show complaints, it's worth confirming in writing that any permit-required work gets a scheduled inspection, and locking down the appointment window before the crew is dispatched.
