Its Massachusetts electrician license is active and verified against the state registry, held by Joseph A. Silverio. The written record here is thin — just three reviews across Google and the Better Business Bureau. A 2022 customer says a technician showed up on time and quickly grounded a pipe an insurance company required; a Better Business Bureau reviewer separately calls the electrical work outstanding. A recent Google review, by contrast, criticizes the company's drivers. Its Better Business Bureau file carries an A+ rating with no complaints on record, and the company also lists panel upgrades, lighting and EV charger work among its services — worth confirming which of its self-reported New Hampshire license and EPA certification apply to your job, since neither is independently verified. **Strengths:** - Prompt, courteous service — arrived on time and finished a grounding job quickly - Outstanding electrical work — a BBB reviewer highly recommends the company **Concerns:** - Driver complaints — a recent Google review criticizes the company's drivers **Where sources disagree:** - The website says the company has served the area for more than 50 years, while its Better Business Bureau profile lists 25 years in business. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Its Massachusetts electrician license (No. 17118) is active and verified against the state registry, on file under license holder Joseph A.
