DQR Electric is a Metrowest electrical contractor the company describes as family-owned, run day-to-day by Dan with a crew that includes Bill, Andy, and Jimmy doing much of the fieldwork. Its own site says it's been working across Massachusetts for more than three decades, though it gives no founding year. What shows up again and again in its Google reviews is how fast someone actually picks up the phone. A July 2026 review describes calling several electricians the day before the Fourth of July, during a heat wave, after losing power on the second floor — DQR was the only one to answer and get someone out quickly. A February 2025 review describes Dan returning a call on a bitterly cold day for a heating-system electrical issue after other electricians hadn't called back at all. Several reviewers describe using DQR repeatedly over years for both small fixes and larger jobs — one for 20 years, another for four — covering panel upgrades, EV chargers, generator hookups, a kitchen-remodel rewire, and wiring for a house built from scratch. Its Massachusetts electrician license is active on the state registry, held under DQR Electric Inc. The company also designs, installs, and monitors fire alarm systems alongside residential wiring, and reviewers single out Bill, Andy, and Jimmy by name as courteous, on-time crew members alongside Dan himself. With 37 Google ratings averaging 5 stars, 32 reviews on file back to 2022, and six more in the last six months with nothing negative among them, this is a reasonable call for Metrowest homeowners needing panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators, or a full rewire — Dan quotes and coordinates most jobs personally, so confirm scheduling directly with him.
“DQR Electric. Out of Marlborough but I had them out to Holden to upgrade my panel, great work, owner is a great guy”
On the day before the Fourth of July (and in the middle of a heat wave!), my power went off on the second floor of my house. I called several electricians and got answering machines and no answer, and DQR was the first to immediately pick up the phone and offer quick and friendly service. They walked me through some troubleshooting on the phone first and my power was restored, so in the end, I didn’t even need them to come in person, saving me time and money. Excellent customer service, highly recommend!
Great team and clean professional work. Highly recommend, level of service unmatched by other local electricians.
Have used Dan and his team several times over the past few years and they never fail To deliver great service!! Needed a whole bunch of different electrical work done, fixing lights, installing new fans and some recessed lighting. After consulting with Dan the owner he sent Andy and Ryan who did a fantastic job way quicker than I would have expected. They were respectful, asked my opinion and really listened to what I wanted. These are the only electricians I use and would 💯 recommend DQR for any electrical work.
UPDATE AUGUST 2026 I reached out to Danny again for some additional electrical work. As always, he was very accommodating and was able to schedule me in a few days. He and his team are professional and courteous. The work (moved outlets, installed new outlets, replaced outlets, and installed lighting fixtures) was done to perfection. DQR Electric should be your first choice when seeking a professional electrician. I needed to get an electrical box and outlet installed for an under cabinet appliance. Reached out to Danny and he was able to get a crew to my house the next day. The crew was great, professional and friendly. They completed the work in under an hour. We have used DQR Electric before and will continue to use them.
DQR came to my house and replaced my meter socket and other associated wiring, he was very professional, he came out very quickly and was right on time. His price was fair. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to friends and family.
