Eric Pohlmeyer runs a one-person electrical repair business out of the Salem, Massachusetts area, and the ratings back him up: 4.7 stars on both Thumbtack (64 ratings) and HomeAdvisor (65 ratings), with 91 percent of his Thumbtack ratings at five stars. HomeAdvisor's listing dates the business to 2005. What comes up again and again in reviews is speed paired with follow-through. One customer says he solved a complex electrical issue quickly with good communication and a fair price; another describes him arriving on time and sticking to a price he'd already quoted even after the job turned out more complicated than planned. Fan and lighting installs draw similar praise — customers mention him fitting the work in ahead of schedule and cleaning up afterward — and outlet installations get the same marks for efficiency and reasonable pricing. A HomeAdvisor customer separately described his pricing as reasonable after an electrical repair. Not every rating is glowing: 8 percent of his 64 Thumbtack ratings are one star, though none of the written reviews shown here say what went wrong. The two platforms also don't quite agree on his tenure — Thumbtack lists 24 years in business, HomeAdvisor dates him to 2005 — so treat either figure as approximate rather than exact. For routine electrical work — outlet and switch installs, fans, lighting fixtures, general troubleshooting — from a single electrician who shows up and holds his price, he's a reasonable call; just confirm scope and cost upfront if the job looks like it could grow.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Eric Pohlmeyer Licensed 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.

Great experience working with Eric! Solved my complex electrical issue quickly. Good communication. Fair price. Will be hiring him again!
I had a fan/light ceiling for my kitchen and he was the one taking the “risk” to work with an old electric house system to install it. Thanks for all the work done!
Eric did a great job installing two fans in our home. He was professional and got the job done quickly! Also very responsive and ended up fitting us in a couple days earlier than planned. Would definitely recommend!
Eric arrived on time and prepared. The job turned out to be more complicated than either of us thought, but he soldiered on in sweltering heat without complaint. He was focused on getting the job done, and he did. He quoted a price without seeing the job and he stuck to it, even though it took more time and planning. He consulted with me on options, which I appreciated. He cleaned up after himself, which many trades wouldn't. I highly recommend Eric for any electrical job you have, big or small.
Eric was great, I reached out to him to install an outlet on my deck. He came out and gave me an estimate and was able to fit me in on his schedule to start the work 2 days later. I found Eric to be polite, knowledgeable, efficient, and fair on pricing. I will use Eric again in the future for any electrical needs. I highly recommend.
