John Teheen Master Electrician LLC

John Teheen has been wiring North Shore homes since he started the company in February 2004, and he still runs it himself as Teheen Electric's master electrician out of Salem. The business describes itself as licensed and insured, built around lighting design, wiring, renovations, knob-and-tube removal, and audio-visual installation — the kind of work that gets called in when an older house still has old wiring behind the walls. Reviews spread across five sites tell a fairly steady story: 54 of them since 2021, averaging 4.7 stars on Google (64 ratings) and 4.8 on Birdeye (77 reviews), with the Better Business Bureau handing out an A+ letter grade. The word that keeps surfacing, year after year, is fair — customers describing quotes that matched the final bill and a schedule that held. A review from this spring backs that up directly, praising John for confirming the scope and cost before ever picking up a tool. That said, the last six months have been quiet — just one review — so most of what's here leans on the years behind him rather than anything current. It also isn't a BBB-accredited business, even though the Bureau's own letter grade for it is A+. Worth confirming before booking: current scheduling and availability, since recent activity is thin. For a North Shore homeowner dealing with old knob-and-tube wiring, a lighting project, or folding a home audio-visual setup into new wiring, the multi-year, multi-source history behind Teheen backs up the pitch — just confirm the quote and timeline in writing before work starts, the same thing reviewers say he does.
