Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Forte Electric, 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.

Forte Electric, Inc. is an electrical contractor at 74 Forest St in Attleboro, working across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Its Massachusetts electrician licence is verified active with the state registry, held under the company's own name. The company describes itself as family owned and operated, and says it is the renamed continuation of Bristow Electric — "After more than 60 years Bristow Electric is growing, while still family owned and operated, it will now be known as Forte Electric, Inc." That is the business's own account of its history rather than an independently confirmed one, and the site carries a 2020 copyright. Its stated work is new construction, repair, remodel and installation, with a services page naming generators, electric panel upgrades, parking-lot lighting, emergency lighting, LED lighting upgrades and fluorescent bulb recycling. The site leads with "commercial and industrial needs" while also listing "Commercial/Industrial and Residential", so a homeowner should confirm that a residential job is one they take. The customer record is thin and dated. Google shows 3.7 stars from three ratings, and the one written review on file is from 2014: a customer called them "Honest, kind, and easy to work with" and said they would highly recommend the company. In a 2022 Reddit thread asking for a good electrician, a commenter volunteered them as being "Out of Attleboro MA, but certified to work in RI as well" — a word-of-mouth nod that matches the company's own stated footprint, though it describes no job. They are a reasonable call for an Attleboro-area homeowner who wants a state-licensed electrician for panel or lighting work, especially one comfortable with a firm whose everyday footing is commercial. Before booking, confirm they take residential jobs of your size, ask for recent local references given how old the written record is, and get the scope and price in writing.
