Giroux Electrical Contractors, Inc.

Giroux Electrical Contractors works out of 41 Lawrence St in Northborough and covers both sides of the trade — homes and businesses, planned upgrades and 3am emergencies. The bread and butter is service and panel upgrades, generator installations, lighting, EV chargers, smoke and CO detectors and general troubleshooting, with a stated 24/7 emergency line and free estimates. Gregory Giroux is president, Matthew Collette vice president, and the company has been a BBB Accredited Business since 2015 with an A+ grade. The credential is verified where it counts: Massachusetts electrician licence 20943 is confirmed active with the state registry under holder Gregory D Giroux, the company's own president. With 4.9 stars from 270 Google ratings and roughly 180 written accounts since 2021, the pattern is unusually consistent, and what it points at is speed and the people who turn up. Homeowners name them: Justin McNamara, Robert W (Rob Wells), Josh, Saul Diaz, Jaxson Claire, Brennan, Mike Dodd, Owen, James, Phil. In a July 2026 review a customer described an underground service installation and 200A panel upgrade done with a full crew on site right on time, finished fast to keep power downtime minimal, with the wiring left looking as good as it worked. In a May 2026 review an estimate came the same day and the install two days later. In a March 2026 review a homeowner had a wiring fault troubleshot and fixed for what they called a very reasonable price. Emergencies are where the reviews get specific. In February 2026, with the temperature heading to minus one, two electricians repaired and restored a downed weather head and riser and had power back before the freeze. In a May 2025 review a household that woke with no power and a main breaker tripping on reset had a technician on site within 30 to 45 minutes, parts fetched and two breakers replaced inside the hour. In a July 2025 review a caller at 8am had a technician diagnosing a dead circuit a couple of hours later. The honest caveats are small. Reviewers who mention price split between calling it fair or reasonable and one who says plainly that they are not the most inexpensive but you get what you pay for. There is a single one-star review from December 2025 that says only "Totally wasted" and gives no account of what happened. And the tenure figures do not quite line up: the company's site says it has been at this for over a decade, while BBB records 19 years in business from a 2007 start. For Northborough and the towns around it, this is a well-documented, fast-responding electrical contractor with a verified licence behind it.
