A 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrade done in a 95-degree heat wave is the job one Everett-area customer wanted people to hear about: in an August 2026 Google review they wrote that JA Electrical was affordable, cleaned up its mess, and also replaced the chewed-up wire running down the side of the house — and thanked Jose and his son for the work. JA Electrical is an Everett electrical outfit led by Jose Alves, by its own account in business for 30 years. Its site lists residential and commercial work: remodeling, new installations, lighting, bath fans, high-voltage work, energy-efficiency upgrades and emergency repairs. JOSE ALVES FILHO holds Massachusetts electrician license #22283-EL-A, which the state registry shows as active. The Google record is short — six ratings, all 5 stars. The two other recent reviews, both from August 2026, are specific. A landlord wrote that Jose has handled electrical issues at several of their rental properties, and singled out that he diagnoses the root cause instead of applying a quick fix, communicates clearly, and prices fairly. Another customer described an above-ground swimming pool electrical installation and called him timely, clear and fairly priced. The remaining three reviews date to August 2024 and are brief; one came from a customer writing on behalf of franchise locations, praising the price-to-quality ratio.

I highly recommend JA Electrical! Jose has helped us with electrical issues at several of our rental properties, and every experience has been excellent. He is knowledgeable, professional, punctual, and takes the time to diagnose the root cause of the problem instead of just applying a quick fix. His work is high quality, his pricing is fair, and he communicates clearly throughout the process. As a rental property owner, it’s incredibly valuable to have someone you can trust to get the job done right the first time. Jose has consistently exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely continue using JA Electrical for future projects. If you’re looking for an honest, skilled, and dependable electrician, Jose is the one to call.
Had a wonderful experience for above ground swimming pool electrical installation. He was a timely and clear communicator & helpful. He is very knowledgeable about his craft, and his prices are very fair. Would highly recommend and work with again.
Had my electricity changed over from 100 amp to 200 amp and I’m telling you this man did a magnificent job. I really appreciate what JA electrician did. He was very affordable. He cleaned up his mess, and everybody was amazed at the workmanship he did. I just want to thank him and his son very much because they did a magnificent job and it was extremely hot out too. It was like 95° out when we had the heat wave. he also changed the wire going down the side of my house because it was all chewed up we are extremely preleased thank you very much

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Ja Electrical. 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.
