Glacier Electric LLC is Alex Call's shop, and Alex is the name customers use. The company says it is a residential and commercial electrical contractor based in Rockland, offering 24-hour emergency service across the South Shore and Greater Boston, and that Call, a South Shore Vocational Technical High School graduate, runs it himself. His Massachusetts electrician licence, #23073-EL-A, is active in his name; the company's site lists it as a master's licence, 23073-A. Google shows 4.9 stars from 38 ratings, and most of the written reviews date from 2023 and 2024. They cover small fixes and big jobs alike. In a 2023 review, a homeowner described several large projects at the house over a couple of years: a carriage house gut renovation, an underground service upgrade, panel upgrades, an electric car charger and audio room wiring. Another 2023 customer said Alex traced a tripping GFCI to an air-conditioner load and added a separate outlet on the same visit, saving a second trip, at a fair price. A 2023 reviewer had a panel replaced in a Jamaica Plain condo; a 2024 customer had a water heater installed and a tripping breaker fixed; another in 2023 had a generator installed for outage backup. Speed comes up as well. A 2024 reviewer was surprised Alex came out promptly over the July 4th holiday, and a 2023 customer got a next-day visit. Cleanup is mentioned by name in several reviews, including one 2023 customer who said the crew left the rooms cleaner than they found them. The one recent review is a sharp complaint. In June 2026, a customer wrote that money was taken from their account for services but nobody showed up for the work, that they had not heard back in over two weeks, and that they had to cancel their card at the bank because they could not get a refund or reach anyone at the company.
“Alexander Glacier Electric LLC has filed 27 building permits in Boston since 2023, closing 74% of 19 rated permits. 9 permits remain open. Primarily files electrical permits.”
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.

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Glacier Electric LLC. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
