Electric Hero's customers mostly call about one thing that stopped working, then end up handing over the rest of the list. The Charlestown company says it does residential and commercial electrical work, including panel upgrades, rewiring, lighting, EV chargers, surge protection and smart home wiring, and that founder Jhon Herrera runs it with more than 17 years in the trade. Its Massachusetts electrician licence #23281-EL-A is active, with Jhon W Herrera as the holder of record. Google shows 5 stars from 100 ratings. Recent Google reviews name Jhon most often. In June 2026, a customer said he came to assess a light fixture install, helped plan moving a socket, and came back a short while later to put the light in; another June 2026 reviewer got an appointment within 24 hours and said the cost was presented up front. A May 2026 customer had exterior lights installed. Earlier accounts are larger: in a January 2026 review, flickering power got a next-day visit and a fix the day after, and the customer said Jon went to multiple stores to save them money on a part. A December 2025 reviewer described Jhon handling the whole electrical side of a kitchen remodel, from under-cabinet lighting to a new cooktop. Daniel and Rodrigo appear just as often in 2025 reviews. A Belmont family wrote in August 2025 that the pair removed BX wire, rewired a second floor, installed a sub-panel and upgraded service to 200 amps, and that when a storm knocked out their power, Daniel arrived in less than an hour and coordinated with the town inspector and the municipal utility. In a February 2026 review, a Hyde Park customer said Daniel came back immediately to swap out a dimmer that had a small issue. A December 2025 reviewer had smoke detectors that kept going off fixed, with the system tested, for under $200.
Great work and always show up
I had a wonderful experience, the technician was prompt, extremely helpful, and courteous . I was able to get a very quick appointment (within 24 hours) and everything through their automated text messaging service was a breeze including payment and invoicing. The cost was very reasonable and presented up-front. Highly recommend!
Cannot rate Jhon and Electric Hero high enough. He came today to do an assessment for installing a light fixture and I had a question about potentially also moving a socket. He helped me troubleshoot and come up with a plan for the latter, then came back a short while later and took care of my light installation in no time at all. He was knowledgeable, friendly and did an excellent job. I couldn’t be happpier with the service and will be moving forward with the socket relocation soon too. Mil gracias Jhon!
Jhon was great. He was able to run diagnostics and quickly identify the problem and fix it. Friendly and professional- would recommend to anyone
