## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- Rewired knob-and-tube — replaced 1880s wiring found during a renovation
- EV charger installs — Level 2 chargers and outdoor outlets
- Same-day turnaround — full outlet and lighting job finished in one visit
- Repeat customers — called back across multiple properties for years
