Verified record
Dignan Electric is a Newton electrician run by William Dignan. On Angi, where the company is new with no reviews yet, it self-reports 42 years of experience, electrical services and free estimates, and says it does not offer emergency service or warranties. Google shows a 3.7★ average, but from only 3 ratings — too few to say much either way. There isn't a written customer account on file describing an actual job. Public Boston permit records show William Dignan has filed 5 building permits since 2012, with only one of them closed — a 20% closure rate, well below the city's 50% median — and 4 still listed as open. With no customer reviews to go on, it's worth asking directly about permit follow-through and current licensing status before hiring.
“William Dignan has filed 5 building permits in Boston since 2012, closing 20% of 5 rated permits. 4 permits remain open... 30.0 points below the city median of 50.0%.”
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Dignan Electric. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
