Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from High Tech Electrical Contractor Inc. 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
This is a commercial and industrial shop, not a house-call electrician. High-Tech Electrical Contractors works office suites, shopping centers, restaurants, banks, hotels, hospitals, manufacturing plants, machine shops and clean rooms, and it gets most of that work as a subcontractor to general contractors — fire alarm systems, telephone and data wiring, UPS and standby generators, building automation, plus the unglamorous maintenance side: lighting repair, parking-lot lighting, cubicle relocation, on-call troubleshooting. A homeowner looking to have a panel swapped or a ceiling fan hung is not the customer it describes. Michael J. Pallazola, a Master Electrician, started the company in 1986 by his own account and still runs it as president. His Massachusetts electrician licence, number 11889, is active in the state registry — the registry lists him personally as the holder of record, which is the normal arrangement for a small incorporated shop with a master of record. Richard J. Lattof, also a Master Electrician, heads its construction projects division. The written history is close to nonexistent for a company nearly forty years old. Google carries a 5-star average across three ratings, and a single reviewer in July 2026 described the work as impeccable and the staff communicative and knowledgeable. The company also turns up in New England Real Estate Journal coverage among the trade contractors listed on a commercial project team. Its BBB file is not accredited and carries no BBB rating at all, because BBB says it lacks sufficient information to issue one. The sources also disagree about basics: the company says 1986 and forty years, while BBB records a 1987 start and 1991 incorporation, and BBB lists a single employee where the company describes a management team, journeyman wiremen and a fully staffed office. If you are a facility manager or a GC, ask directly about crew size and current commercial references before you bid it.
“there were over 100 members of the construction team including representatives from Rob Hannon Architects, The Dubay Group, Millennium Construction Services, Southern NH Concrete, Eyecor Excavation, High-Tech Electrical Contractors, Inc.”
Absolutely pleasure to work with from start to finish. Impeccable work, very communicative, friendly & knowledgeable staff, just the best to work with.
