Eric J Pohlmeyer Licensed Electrician

Eric J Pohlmeyer is a Peabody-based electrician whose Massachusetts electrician license (No. 53761) is verified active with the state, and whose review history — 28 reviews across Angi, HomeAdvisor, and BuildZoom dating back to 2016 — is overwhelmingly positive. The pattern across dozens of Angi and HomeAdvisor reviews from 2024 through early 2026 is consistent: reviewers call him prompt, fair-priced, and easy to reach, whether the job is a ceiling fan swap, a kitchen light fixture, GFCI outlet upgrades, or a bathroom exhaust fan install. Several describe him going beyond the original scope — in one review, he offered to fix an unrelated flickering-switch issue for free while already on site — and multiple customers say they plan to hire him again for future work. The record isn't spotless. In a March 2025 review, a customer described a scheduled Friday appointment that Eric canceled 30 minutes ahead of time for an emergency job; the rescheduled Sunday appointment was then a no-show with no response to follow-up texts. A separate 2025 HomeAdvisor review gave a single star with no elaboration beyond "very bad job." And in an older account from 2020, a BuildZoom reviewer said Eric told them he could do a job, then went unreachable for a week of calls, wasting their time. These are a minority set against a much larger run of five-star accounts, but they point to real gaps in scheduling reliability that are worth confirming directly before booking, especially for a time-sensitive project. For routine residential electrical work — fan and fixture installs, outlet upgrades, troubleshooting outages — the great majority of Eric's reviews describe a courteous, competent, fairly priced electrician who follows through. Given the scattered scheduling complaints, it's worth getting a firm appointment window and asking what happens if plans change before locking in a date.
