Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from ElectriChris, Inc. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.

A hundred permitted electrical jobs sit behind a two-person shop. ElectriChris is Chris David's operation at 236 Princeton St in East Boston, and BuildZoom's permit file counts 100 projects to its name — almost all of it the ordinary residential electrical work homeowners actually call about. On Angi it holds 4.9 across 16 ratings; on HomeAdvisor, 4.9 across 20, with nine in ten at five stars. The same beats repeat across both: shows up when he said he would, prices the job plainly, cleans up after. A March 2026 customer preparing a kitchen for an electric range described an estimate given on the spot, the work finished inside the quoted window, and a second outlet moved for a dishwasher without the total drifting far from the original number. In July 2026 another homeowner hit the opposite kind of job — an awkward dishwasher outlet that turned harder than expected — and said Chris returned with a second pair of hands and revised the quote downward when the wiring ruled out the breaker he had planned to use. One customer writing in early 2025 counted nine separate projects with him between 2018 and 2024. The account worth reading before you book is a three-star from June 2026. That homeowner credited Chris with being personable and finishing on time, then listed what came with it: hearing him scold an employee in an over-the-top way, a stair light fixture broken and set aside without anyone mentioning it, the basement power cut without warning — which left a carbon-monoxide detector chirping at 3am — and the crew's job debris filling the family's own trash barrel five days before pickup. Those are complaints about how the site was run, not about the wiring. Its BBB page is an A+, accredited since 2018. On licensing, be your own check: BuildZoom lists Massachusetts numbers #20628 (electrician) and #31253 for the company, but that is the directory's own file, and the same page contradicts itself by flagging no active licence on record — ask to see the licence and confirm it with the state before work starts. For a defined residential job — a range outlet, a panel upgrade, a floor of recessed lighting, switches and fixtures — this is a shop with a long run of exactly that work, though a good part of its written history dates to 2016–2018. Settle debris removal and who tells you when power goes off, verify the licence yourself, and the rest has held up across a decade of repeat callers.

“I met ElectriChris, Inc (Chris David) through an online referral service in March, 2018. From 2018 through 2024, Chris has done nine separate electrical projects for me. I am definitely a satisfied customer. Chris does neat, professional work. He knows the code and his work meets the code.”
My ceiling light and medallion was installed expertly!
This job was for an outlet to be installed for a fairly new dishwasher, which I had temporarily hooked up to an extension cord. It turned out to be more difficult than expected, due to the way the dishwasher was situated. Chris came back with a second person and was able to complete the job. He found that because of the type of wiring, he could not replace the breaker with the type he wanted to use and he adjusted the original quote downward significantly because of that. I would not hesitate to hire him again.
Very professional!
Chris was personable and got the job done timely however... - heard him yelling/scorning an employee in a quite over the top manner - someone broke a light fixture on the stairs and instead of repairing or at least informing us they left it to the side - without telling us, turned off the power to the basement which also included a socket with a carbon monoxide detector attached so at 3am we had it beeping with a low battery - threw out all of their garbage from the job in our personal trash barrel, filling it up to the brim so with 5 days until the next trash pickup we couldn?t put any of our trash in our own barrel
Chris was great, helpful, respectful and overall incredible to work with. 10/10 would recommend
