Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Elliot Daniels Master Electrician. 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 400-amp service upgrade is not a small job. In October 2024 Elliot Daniels did one that needed the town to set a new transformer and the entire service line moved from one side of the house to the other, and the homeowner wrote that he took care of all of it and was struck by the level of detail he worked to. Daniels is a master electrician working out of Belmont, and his Massachusetts electrician licence, 20949, is active on the state registry. The Better Business Bureau accredits the business and grades it A+, listing 26 years in business. BuildZoom shows 283 building permits pulled under the name and puts the profile in the 92nd percentile. The listed work covers the residential range: general wiring and data communications, recessed and landscape lighting, bath exhaust fans, phone and cable, and home theatre installation. The other two reviews are short and both good. One homeowner reached out on a weekend in September 2023 about hard-wired smoke detectors playing up and had the problem fixed quickly; a November 2024 customer called him friendly, professional and quick to get back to them. Two things to check before calling. Google averages 4.3 across six ratings, while the three written reviews on file are all five stars. And BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration under the same name, number 195949, as inactive and once cancelled — the electrician licence is the one that is current and verified. For wiring, a service upgrade or lighting work around Belmont and Waverley, a licensed master electrician with 283 permits behind him is a strong call. Ask whether your project needs a home improvement contractor registration as well as the electrical licence, and who will be on site alongside him.
Elliot was friendly, professional, and quick to get back to us. Thanks Elliot!
Elliot and his apprentice upgraded our service to 400amps. We had to coordinate with the town to install a new transformer and completely move the line from one side of the house to the other, and Elliot took care of it all. I am so impressed by the level of detail that Elliot delivered. I have even had other trades people compliment his work when they see it. He went above and beyond my expectations on how the meter socket was mounted to the siding (mounted on a new pvc block, backed by house wrap, and installed a drip edge!). I could go on and on about how happy we are with the final product (also included rewiring two new panels in the basement), but I think you get the idea. If you need something done professionally, to code, and for a reasonable price, look no further. Thanks Elliot & Sebastian!
I reached out to Elliot Daniels on a weekend to fix problems with our hard-wired smoke detectors. He fixed the problem quickly. He was professional, respectful and did a great job. My husband and I have peace of mind again. A five star rating!
