Elder Electric & Data

Elder Electric & Data is a Bridgewater, Massachusetts electrical contractor whose own site describes it as a family business — Matt Elder is named as the owner, continuing on from his father, while BBB records list George Elder, the president, as its Massachusetts Master Electrician. The company covers the range you'd expect from a full-service shop: wiring, lighting, service upgrades, fire and smoke alarms, security systems, and data networking. In a 2022 review, a real estate professional described using the company for countless jobs — from a light or ceiling-fan swap to full home wiring — and specifically said the crew leaves a property cleaner than they found it every time, which is part of why they keep referring clients to them and use them for their own personal work too. One thing worth confirming directly: the state's registry currently shows George Elder's Massachusetts electrician license (#16720) as expired. The company's own materials are also inconsistent about how long it's been around — its website gives 1980 and 1984 as founding years in different places, while BBB lists 1986 as established and 1998 as incorporated. For everyday residential wiring, lighting, or a service upgrade, the review on file describes a company that shows up reliably for repeat and referral work. Given the licence question, it's worth asking directly which electrician on the crew is currently licensed before signing on for the job.
