Edward G Sawyer Co Inc

Edward G. Sawyer Co., Inc. bills itself as the nation's oldest continuously operating electrical contracting business, working out of Weymouth on the South Shore. Its own site describes a shop built for electrical construction and emergency response, plus a separate technology arm — Converged Networks, or LCN — that runs structured cabling, security systems, and networking, mostly for institutional and commercial clients. What actual customers think is hard to pin down. Google shows a 5.0-star average, but it rests on just 4 ratings, and a directory listing citing that same figure looks like the same handful of reviews circulating rather than independent confirmation. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as not accredited, with no rating issued and no customer reviews or complaints on file, so there's no written account anywhere of how a job actually went for someone who hired them. What shows up instead is industry recognition rather than homeowner testimonials: the Boston chapter of NECA named it TEGG Contractor of the Year, it's registered as a federal government contractor under the electrical-contractors NAICS code, and trade press describes its electricians as capable of complex installations. One of its longtime electricians, named on the company's own site as Joe, is said to have 35-plus years in the trade and journeyman/master electrician licenses in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island — a self-reported credential, not one verified against a state registry. Put together, this looks like a company built more for commercial, institutional, and federal electrical work than for a steady flow of residential service calls — the security-systems and government-contracting threads point that way. Anyone considering them for a house call should ask directly whether they take on smaller residential jobs, and should confirm current licensing and insurance directly, since there isn't much independent, written customer experience to lean on yet.
