Gary D. Then

Gary Then told one customer he would be at the house in 15 minutes and was there in 10, then traced the fault in about another ten. That April 2017 account is not a one-off: ten of his twenty-two reviews mention him arriving on time or early. Then Electric works out of the Merrimack Valley, with a Lawrence address on the permit record and a Methuen one on the Angi profile, which reports 16 years in the trade. The permits tell the clearest story — 88 electrical permits on file at BuildZoom, 29 of them in the last three years, typical value around $6,000: service upgrades, rewires, recessed lighting and code-violation corrections, heavily in Methuen and also in Lowell, Waltham, Brookline, Beverly, Malden and three Boston neighborhoods. The written reviews run April 2017 to October 2025, 22 of them behind a 4.7 average from 32 Angi ratings, and seven call the price fair or reasonable. An October 2025 customer had switches and outlets quoted and finished the next day for $888. A July 2024 homeowner described a pool electrical connection done in two days, on time, with the property left clean. In an April 2018 review, knob-and-tube wiring came out and new wiring went in; a July 2017 customer noted the crew knew the town's codes. One job went less cleanly. A March 2018 customer rated it 3.5 and wrote that the basic electrical work went well, but that a few challenging areas "needed some more knowledge of how to achieve" — that part did not go as smoothly, though it worked out in the end. If your job has an awkward piece, an old panel in a tight spot or a run with no obvious path, put it in front of him before the quote rather than after. Angi's profile lists Trade License Number 53666, a number the company reports itself; ask to see the licence when he comes out to look at the work. For a residential electrical job around Methuen and the Merrimack Valley — a service upgrade, a rewire, recessed lighting, a code correction ahead of a sale — this is a fast quote and a crew that turns up. Get the licence number onto the written quote, and walk him through anything unusual in the job before he prices it.
