Glacier Electric LLC is a residential and commercial electrical contractor based in Rockland, Massachusetts, run by Alex Call, a licensed Journeyman and Master electrician who states he founded the company after training at South Shore Vocational Technical High School. The company advertises 24-hour emergency service and states it covers the South Shore and Greater Boston area, including Boston, Quincy, Plymouth and dozens of nearby towns. Homeowners who hired Glacier Electric between 2023 and 2025 described a wide range of completed electrical work: panel replacements, generator installations for backup power, a water heater install paired with a breaker repair, ceiling fan and light fixture installs, and diagnostic fixes such as isolating a tripping GFCI outlet from its AC load. Several reviewers from that period describe multi-year or multi-project relationships with the company, including one who says they used Glacier Electric for three years running and another who had the company handle a carriage house renovation and several other large projects at their home over a couple of years. Named staff — Alex, Corey, Emily and Dylan — recur across reviews from different years, and reviewers consistently praise prompt scheduling, including next-day and holiday emergency response, fair or reasonable pricing, and thorough cleanup after the work. In a June 2026 review, however, a customer alleges the company took payment for services but never sent anyone to do the work, then went unreachable for more than two weeks, forcing the customer to cancel their card with the bank to recover the funds. This is the only review from the last six months and stands in sharp contrast to the company's otherwise strong multi-year record — worth asking about directly before booking and paying in advance. The company's own website states it is licensed and insured and cites a Master electrician's license number, though that number has not been verified against a state registry. A building-permit database also shows the business, listed there as "Alexander Glacier Electric LLC," has filed 27 electrical permits in Boston since 2023, closing 74% of 19 rated permits. For a South Shore or Greater Boston homeowner who wants an electrician with a long, detailed track record of completed residential work, Glacier Electric's history is strong, but the recent unresolved payment complaint is worth resolving with the company before hiring.

Money was taken out of account for services, but nobody ever showed up for the work. I reached out, I haven’t heard back. It’s been over two weeks. I had to go to the bank and cancel my card because I wasn’t able to get a refund through the company or reach anyone for that matter.
Alex and his team underpromised and overdelivered. His professionalism and transparent communication throughout the repairs reflected his business integrity and commitment to keeping the customer first. He went above my expectations with cleaning up after the repairs, being respectful of my tenants’ spaces during their repairs, and finishing under a tight timeline so the unit could be move-in ready. He is a must for any electrical or lightning solutions your home needs!
Highly recommend
Emily and Corey were awesome and especially attentive to detail. The project was completed in a timely manner and the results look great.
Prompt and friendly service. Cleaned up nicely after they finished.
