Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Helco Electric. 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.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Helco Electric is a long-running electrical contractor in Peabody — the Better Business Bureau lists it as having been in business for 35 years, with an A+ grade, though it isn't BBB-accredited. One 2025 review called the company and Tommy Carolan "fabulous" from initial contact through scheduling, work quality, and pricing, saying they exceeded expectations. A May 2026 review, on the other hand, complained about a company van (#11) driving aggressively and cutting people off in traffic — a concern about a vehicle on the road rather than about the electrical work itself.
“I finished my apprenticeship here. I learned a lot and got valuable in site of construction method and relationships of the building trades.”
The driver of van #11 from Helco Electric was driving very aggressively and cutting people off in traffic. It created an unsafe situation on the road and was very unprofessional for a company vehicle. I hope the company addresses this and reminds employees to drive safely and respectfully while representing the business.
Helco Electric & Tommy Carolan are fabulous from initial contact, scheduling, quality of work and pricing, they more than exceeded my expectations.
