## The honest read

Ninety-five Google ratings and not one below five stars — that's the record Fazio Electrical Services has built out of Watertown, doing residential and commercial panel upgrades, rewiring, generator installs, and lighting work. The company describes itself as a third-generation, Boston-based family business, and the name that shows up review after review is Sean, the electrician customers say runs the jobs himself.

What keeps coming back across 88 reviews spanning 2024 through 2026 — 12 of them in the last six months, none negative — is speed on jobs that can't wait. In August 2026, a power surge fried the breaker feeding an oven and microwave after another electrician had already rescheduled twice; Sean fit the homeowner in right away and had it fixed the same day. Older reviews show the same pattern: in a 2025 review, someone told they had an electrical 'crisis' found Fazio on Google and had it calmly resolved within the hour, and another 2025 customer described Sean showing up after a full day of other jobs and staying until the problem was fixed that same night.

The panel, generator, and code side of the work shows up just as often. A January 2026 review described Sean pulling the permit for a panel upgrade, coordinating with a tenant and condo management, and handling the city inspection himself. A late-2025 review credited a panel modernization with tracking down why newer appliances kept tripping breakers for no reason, and a February 2026 review said an installation passed inspection after Sean and a colleague, Omar, patiently walked the customer through the code requirements. Fazio's technicians are also Generac-certified, and 2025 reviews describe a GFCI-protected circuit added for a new dishwasher and a buck-and-boost transformer installed only after Sean researched which device the job actually needed.

There's little here worth flagging. The company's own site names only Watertown as its stated service area, even though its reviews describe both residential and commercial jobs — worth a quick check that your address is covered, especially for commercial work.

For a panel upgrade, a generator install, or an electrical problem that needs a same-day answer, Fazio's license is active and verified, and the track record behind it is deep and consistent. Ask for the permit and inspection plan up front, the way the reviews describe Sean handling it.

**Strengths:**
- Verified license — Massachusetts electrician registration is active
- Consistent five-star record — 95 Google ratings, dozens of detailed reviews
- Fast emergency response — reviewers cite quick same-day fixes for urgent issues
- Clear communication — customers highlight patient, code-literate explanations of the work

**Concerns:**
- Service area — company site names only Watertown as its coverage
