Hm Electric Inc is a one-person electrical outfit based in Melrose, Massachusetts, that the company says has been running for 13 years, taking calls from homeowners mostly for lighting installs, outlet work, and panel troubleshooting. The five written reviews on Thumbtack — all from a few months in 2024 — tell a consistent story about the same electrician, named Hitallo in several of them: fast to answer, quick to show up, and tidy on the job. One customer needed outdoor speaker wire run from the living room through the basement to the patio and called the finished work "a very clean install"; another had him back three separate times, first for a light fixture, then an outlet, then a run of recessed lighting. A third replaced a bathroom fan and put in five recessed lights in a single afternoon. That lines up with Thumbtack's own numbers for the business: a 4.8-star average across 125 ratings, with 93% coming in at five stars. A small slice — about 4% — landed at one star, with no detail available from those particular jobs. Thumbtack also lists the business's electrician as license-verified at the journeyman level in Massachusetts, though that reflects the platform's own screening rather than a state registry check. Anyone hiring for bigger work — a full panel upgrade rather than a fixture swap — should ask directly about licensing and insurance, since the reviews on hand are all smaller residential jobs.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Hm Electric Inc (Melrose, MA). 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
Needed outdoors speaker wires ran from my living room, down through the basement, and outside to our patio. Hitallo exceeded expectations in how I was expecting the project to turn out. His solution to what was a somewhat tricky situation really showed me how experienced he is. He also installed an extra outdoor outlet for us - very clean install. We are extremely happy with his work.
HM electric was a great find! I had a faulty outlet and trouble with my electrical panel. He was very responsive when I sent an email inquiry, and worked quickly and cleanly onsite. Very professional and punctual. Highly recommended if you need help at home!
Very professional and knowledgeable. Installed a chandelier and 3 recessed lights. Work was done quickly and to specifications. I had bought the wrong recessed lights but he had some with him so that was fabulous.
Hitallo is the best!! We initially hired him to install a new light fixture, but have since called him back on three other occasions to install a new electrical outlet in our island, and install several recessed lights around our home. He's clean, professional, responsive, and efficient. I'll be calling him for all our electrical work going forward!
HM Electric responded to my inquiry in minutes with a proposed date, showed up as scheduled, and completed the job quickly. He replaced an old bathroom fan and installed 5 recessed lights in my kitchen in 1 afternoon. Plan to use for any and all electric projects moving forward.
