EV chargers come up in two of Derek Bennett's four Google reviews. In May 2026, a customer said the town inspector called his charger installation "a phenomenal job"; in a 2024 review, another described an EV charger install paired with a panel upgrade to 200 amps, done quickly with long hours and a clean work area. Bennett says he provides residential and light commercial electrical work across Duxbury and the South Shore, from repairs, upgrades and lighting to EV chargers, generators and safety inspections, in towns including Cohasset, Hingham, Marshfield, Plymouth and Scituate. His Massachusetts electrician licence, #58060-EL-B, is active in his name. The history is short: four Google reviews from 2024 to 2026, all five stars. A 2024 reviewer who had used him twice said he found the source of a challenging problem other electricians could not, and called his prices very reasonable.
Derek was simply outstanding throughout our EV charger project. From the very beginning, Derek was thoughtful, detailed, and a great communicator. His expertise was clear and the work he did was to the highest standards. The town inspector was noticeably impressed, saying Derek did 'a phenomenal job.' We could not be more grateful to Derek for making this entire process so straightforward. Derek will be the first and only person we contact for future electrical projects. Thank you!
Derek is an excellent electrician. Professional, attentive, and extremely detailed. 10/10 service and I can't recommend him enough!
Dereck installed an EV charger and increased my panel to 200 amps. He worked long hours to get the job done quickly, and was always attentive and easy to get a hold of. He keep his work areas clean, and treated my house like it was his own. I would absolutely recommend him for any projects needed!
Derek is extremely professional and an expert at his work. I have used him twice and about to use him again. I had one project that was very challenging but Derek was able to find the source of the problem where others could not. His prices are VERY reasonable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of electrical services big jobs or small.
