Duffy Electrical Co

Ninety-three years is the number that stands out. The Better Business Bureau dates Duffy Electrical in Lynn to 1933, which makes it one of the older names on any North Shore electrician list. Stephen J Duffy owns it, and the bureau files it as a six-employee sole proprietorship also known as Duffy Electrical Services, Inc. The work is standard residential-through-industrial electrical: rewiring, panel upgrades, computer networking and cabling, smoke and fire alarm installation, lighting. It also sells solar - the HomeAdvisor page describes the company as a solar broker and certified solar advisor with Summit Energy, offering panel installation for residential, commercial and municipal jobs. The thing to weigh is the BBB grade. It is a C+, and the bureau states the reason plainly: failure to respond to one complaint filed against the business, with one complaint on file. A single complaint against a company this old is not a pattern - but leaving it unanswered is a choice, and it is the one third-party assessment attached to this business. Neither the BBB nor the HomeAdvisor profile carries a customer review. So the useful questions are specific. Ask what that complaint was about and how it was resolved. Ask for the current Massachusetts electrical licence number and check it yourself with the Board of State Examiners of Electricians. And if the job is solar, pin down the role the company plays: its own page describes brokering the work to a partner installer rather than doing it in-house. Right call for: routine electrical work around Lynn from a long-standing local shop - provided the complaint question gets a straight answer first.
