Duffy Electrical Co

Duffy Electrical goes back to 1933 — that is the start date on its Better Business Bureau profile, and on HomeAdvisor the company claims 93 years of experience. It runs today as a six-employee sole proprietorship under Stephen J Duffy, working out of Walnut Street in Lynn on residential, commercial and industrial jobs. The job list runs from heavy power to low voltage: rewiring, panel upgrades, lighting, smoke and fire alarm installation, and computer networking and cabling. On HomeAdvisor the company has added a solar leg, listing panel installation for homes, businesses and municipal buildings and describing itself as a solar broker and certified solar advisor working with Summit Energy and Palmetto Energy. Free estimates and warranties are offered there; the same profile says it does not take emergency calls. One thing to raise when you call: its BBB page carries a C+, and the bureau gives the reason as a failure to respond to a complaint filed against the business. Ask Duffy about that one directly. A sensible call for an older Lynn-area house that needs rewiring or a heavier panel. Confirm the Massachusetts electrical licence and insurance, and get the scope and price in writing before anyone starts.
