John Teheen Master Electrician LLC

John Teheen Master Electrician is a one-man-plus-crew operation on Salem's North Shore — John himself handles most jobs, and long-time customers describe using him for a decade of projects, from small light-fixture swaps to complex underground wiring. He describes himself as a licensed and insured master electrician and has picked up multiple Angie's List Super Service Awards. The work covers real range: reviews describe removing knob-and-tube wiring from an older home and passing inspection with no issues (2023), managing a full underground wiring project from design through installation (2022), and adding a sub panel plus separate circuits for new sump pumps while catching unrelated old wiring problems along the way (2025). John also comes up repeatedly for hot tub and pool wiring, smart-home lighting, and same-day fixes for lost power. Three older reviews stand apart from the rest. A July 2023 review describes work paid for but left incomplete, with items not up to code found on a second opinion. A separate review from August 2023 describes missed appointments and unfinished switches after the job was marked complete. And a review from October 2021 appears to come from a former employee rather than a customer, describing being treated poorly on the job. The other reviews, spanning 2021 to 2026, don't describe anything like this. Also worth asking about directly: John's site says he's licensed and insured, but that hasn't been independently checked against the state registry here. For lighting, rewiring, or a bigger project like knob-and-tube removal or an outdoor wiring job, this is a strong call for North Shore homeowners with a long line of repeat customers behind him — just confirm his current license number directly and get a clear timeline in writing before the job starts.
