Greater Boston Electrical is Jonathan's shop, working East Boston and the surrounding neighborhoods with an assistant, Leo, on jobs that range from swapping a light switch to rewiring an entire house. The reviews describe a specific pattern: people find him through a friend, a painter, a tile installer, once even at a hardware store, and then keep calling him back for years. The clearest example is a 2023 review from a homeowner who called Jonathan for a routine bathroom renovation and ended up with far more: he found original 1880s knob-and-tube wiring still in the walls, then removed and replaced it through the whole house and swapped out the failing electrical panel. In a 2024 review, another customer — writing their first-ever review — described a Level 2 EV charger and outdoor outlet installed cleanly and affordably. A 2022 account from an East Boston property owner who'd struggled to get any electrician to show up described new outlets, three light fixtures, breaker replacements, and emergency lighting all finished in a single day. Several reviewers going back to 2022 mention calling Jonathan back across multiple properties and years — a rental, a second home, a business. There's no negative account on file. For anything from a stuck outlet to a full rewire in an older Boston home, this is a reasonable call, and the reviews suggest he's upfront about scope and timeline before starting.

We had a great experience working with Jonathan at Greater Boston Electrical. He did an excellent job, was very prompt, and was also flexible with our schedule to accommodate us. Jonathan installed new light fixtures throughout our remodeled condo, including complete rewiring of our kitchen. The work was done quickly, efficiently, and with great attention to cleanliness. Highly recommend!
Super happy with the work Jonathan did for us. He and his team, were very professional, friendly and responsive when contacted. Prices were fair and the quality was great. Definitely recommend him if you need an electrician you can trust.
This is my first time writing a review because I am truly impressed by their works. I had to install a Level 2 EV charger and an outdoor outlet. Jon and Leo were clear on their plan of action and meticulously performed the task. The final outcome was great. Every steps looks neat and high end. Whats even better is their price is very affordable. I highly recommend them for any electrical works and will be looking forward to work with them again in the future.
Jonathan and his assistant Leo are true professionals who work extremely hard while ensuring the utmost attention to detail. Unbeknown to me, my 1880s home required a significant amount of work. During a routine bathroom renovation, Jonathan discovered old knob and tube wiring original to the home. Jonathan quickly addressed this by removing and replacing the old (and dangerous) wiring throughout my entire home. He also replaced my outdated and faulty electrical panel. We originally hired Jonathan to wire my bathroom and install fixtures, but in the end we can sleep better knowing that we have safe, up-to-date electrical service in my home. Beyond that, he and Leo were surgeon-like in their approach, leaving only a few areas requiring minor patching that I can do myself. The aforesaid is quite impressive considering the amount of rewiring performed. It goes without saying that the fixtures in my bathroom and placement thereof are also perfect. Lastly, all inspections went perfect with zero findings. Bottom line...I highly recommend Jonathan for all your electrical project needs. He is fair, honest and clearly a true master of the trade.
Jonathan was referred to me by my friend and he installed our EV charging station. He is extremely knowledgeable about everything and willing to answer any questions we have in the process. The price is also reasonable. I would highly recommend Jonathan for any electrical work you may have!
