J.J. Galvin Electrical

J.J. Galvin Electrical, based in Newton, built a deep run of praise between 2022 and 2025 — 38 Google reviews on file, nearly all five stars, repeatedly naming individual technicians (Ruby and Hugh, Arthur Alexander, Sean Galvin himself) rather than just 'the company.' The specifics span a range of jobs. In a 2024 review, a homeowner describes calling on the company after 'an awful flood with an insurance nightmare' — electrical damage in the kitchen and basement was repaired immediately, with the process explained at each step. Another 2024 review describes an emergency at a mother-in-law's home with no power to the AC and heat; the crew was there within an hour and got the work signed off. Elsewhere, reviewers describe a 200-amp panel upgrade paired with a generator install, a GENERAC natural-gas generator sold, installed and later serviced, and, in a 2023 review, a technician diagnosing and repairing a system 'in no time.' A 2024 review from an older-home owner describes the company finding ways to work around the original wiring rather than pushing a full rewrite. One real concern surfaces: in an August 2024 review, a customer described the company's marketing emails targeting an elderly father undergoing cancer treatment, suggesting service for a generator he hadn't purchased from them, then scheduling maintenance without clearly confirming he wanted it done. For panel upgrades, generator installs, or an old house that needs an electrician willing to work around original wiring rather than replace it outright, this is a company with a long list of specific, positive jobs behind it — just be aware of its email marketing practices, and ask to be taken off any list if unwanted outreach shows up.
