## The honest read

Rainwater got into a basement, shorted the fuse box, and the power kept cutting out. In a 2023 review, the homeowner said they called Henry Sy and he came the next day to put in a new fuse box. That is the kind of job HS Electrical gets called for around Holbrook — Henry Sy runs it himself, and says he has 26 years behind him and holds Journeyman and Master Electrician licences in Massachusetts.

Explaining the work comes up as often as the work. A 2023 customer who had been burned by predatory contractors before, and was wary about upgrading the electrical service and fixtures in a 70-year-old house, said Henry put them at ease from first contact and taught as he went. Another 2023 customer wanted a mini chandelier hung and the over-the-stove kitchen vent upgraded, bought the wrong vent, and said he guided them through it while staying inside their timeframe and budget.

Small jobs land the same way. A 2023 reviewer had dining room and bedroom lights installed in a few hours, with no mess and no touch-ups needed afterwards. Another said he arrived on time, did the agreed work at the agreed price, spoke up about an issue he found during the visit, and left the workspace clean.

For an older house around Holbrook that needs a fuse box or service upgrade handled, or fixtures and lighting put in without fuss, he is a sensible call. Thumbtack rates him 5.0 from six ratings and shows a background check completed 4/19/2025; ask him for his licence numbers and a certificate of insurance when you book.

**Strengths:**
- Next-day fuse box — a 2023 customer had a shorted box replaced the next day
- Explains as he works — a 2023 homeowner said he taught them along the way
- Clean finishes — 2023 reviewers describe no mess and no touch-ups
- Holds the quote — a 2023 customer said the agreed price held
- Background checked — Thumbtack shows a check completed 4/19/2025
