# Gene Emerson Electrician

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 35 Hinkle Ln, Orleans, MA 02653 · **Phone:** (508) 255-9998 · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.0/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 4 sources.

## The honest read

Gene Emerson Electrician is a one-person outfit working out of Orleans, on the Cape's outer arm, that Mr. Gene Emerson has run under his own name since 1999 — 27 years in the trade, according to his BBB file.

The written record is thin but consistent. In a 2020 review, a homeowner described Emerson installing a heat pump at their Orleans home and called him a responsive, professional electrician who could handle a full range of a house's electrical needs, adding they'd call him again for the next job. Another 2020 reviewer, more briefly, called it the best Cape Cod electrical repair they'd used. Google shows a 5-star average across three ratings.

There isn't much else to go on — BBB hasn't issued a rating either way, and there are no written reviews newer than 2020. For a homeowner on the outer Cape looking for a solo electrician who handles his own calls, the record points one way; it's just a short one, so it's worth confirming current availability and the scope of work — panel upgrades, heat pump wiring, general repairs — before booking.

**Strengths:**
- Heat pump installation — 2020 customer praised responsive, professional work
- Cape Cod repairs — called the best local electrical repair by a reviewer

**Concerns:**
- Thin review history — only two written Google reviews, both from 2020
