Highlights
- Emergency response — 2015 reviewer described arrival within an hour
- Troubleshooting work — homeowner praised a difficult breaker repair
- Dated written account — the only detailed review is from March 2015
GBH Electric is a Scituate electrician whose own site says it has served the South Shore for over 40 years. Its work spans residential, commercial, and restaurant wiring, service upgrades, generators, lighting, and electrical repair; BBB lists Jerry Houghton as owner and 30 years in business. The one written customer account is old but specific. In a March 2015 Google review, a homeowner said GBH answered an emergency call, arrived within an hour, quickly found a difficult circuit-breaker problem, and repaired it. Google shows five stars from one rating, while BBB gives the business an A+ grade; those are different measures, so ask for current references and availability for a new project. GBH is a fit for wiring, upgrades, and troubleshooting in Scituate and nearby South Shore communities. Confirm the exact scope, timing, and price before work begins, especially since the only detailed customer account dates to 2015.
