Ilias Bintas Journeyman Electrician

Ilias Bintas Journeyman Electrician works out of Boston, and Thumbtack's profile puts him at ten years in the trade with eight hires through the platform. The reviews on file describe a one-person operation handling the ordinary run of household electrical work — outlets, wiring, lighting, smoke detectors — plus smart-home add-ons like security-system and lighting installs. The strongest thread across the five reviews on file, dated 2023 through 2025, is speed paired with explanation. In a 2024 review, a homeowner in a 110-year-old house described a quick outlet fix that turned into a full walk-through of the home's wiring problems and a plan to bring the wiring up to code. Another from mid-2024 called the process of swapping out smoke detectors prompt and professional, and a 2023 review credited him with solving a wiring issue that had stumped three other people. Not every account was smooth: a 2025 review said he came across as unprofessional for asking the customer to send a photo, without further detail on the context. Thumbtack's own tally — 4.3 stars from six ratings, split 83% five-star and 17% one-star — lines up with that mix of strong praise and one clear complaint. He's a fit for straightforward household electrical work — outlet and wiring repairs, smoke detectors, smart-home installs — from a Boston-area electrician customers describe as fast and willing to explain the fix. Worth asking upfront how he prefers to handle photos or estimates, given the one review that flagged it.
