A room that kept blacking out for hours turned out to be a too-long screw on an outlet face plate touching wires; a June 2026 Google reviewer said Josh found and fixed it in 30 minutes. JP Electric and Son is a Fitchburg electrical company with 4.9 stars from 83 Google ratings. A 2022 Sentinel & Enterprise article says Joshua Page started it in the basement of his Templeton house in 2011 before moving to Fitchburg, and a June 2026 Worcester Business Journal piece names him president. Its Massachusetts electrician licence, #606-EL-A1, is active, with JP Electric and Son Inc DBA Ruel Electric as holder of record. Recent Google reviews cover everyday jobs: grounded plugs installed by Paul in July 2026, old outdoor lighting units removed by Aaron B in August 2026, and smoke detectors upgraded in June 2026 with an inspector issue worked through. Generators come up in several reviews; a June 2026 reviewer said the company has serviced their generator for years. Larger work appears too: a June 2026 reviewer brought them in for guestroom and public space renovations at a Residence Inn in Marlborough, and in a May 2022 review a customer described a 3-day underground run to a shed wired for a nano brewery, with the company handling the town permits. Pricing is the recurring complaint. In a September 2026 3-star review, a customer called the work good but said a $247 assessment charge was already committed before the proposal, and the estimate rolled labor into line items, so a recessed light the customer found for about $22 was shown at about $295 on a job of about $1,450. In a March 2026 3-star review, a customer paid the $247 booking charge for travel and the first hour, then saw an extra $102.50; the office explained that GPS time from dispatch to departure is billed, for $349.50 in all. A January 2023 2-star review called the price unreasonable. A June 2026 4-star reviewer said there was no clean-up afterwards.
“Joshua Page, president of JP Electric & Son, Inc., and a member of the North Central chamber board of directors.”

“Joe was a master electrician employed by JP Electric and Sons Inc. of Fitchburg for over a decade.”
“The town resident decided to do a t-shirt fundraiser with the proceeds split evenly between J P Electric and Son Operations Manager Marci Newell and lead electrician Joe Goodbrake, who have both been with his Fitchburg based company for over a decade.”
“He started his own business, JP Electric and Son Inc., in the basement of his Templeton house in 2011 and the business is now headquartered in Fitchburg.”
I cannot recommend JP Electric. The electrical work itself was good, and I agreed with the electrician’s recommendations. The switches needed to be replaced, the existing lighting was outdated, and replacing the recessed lights was a sensible recommendation. My issue was with the estimate and the way the pricing was presented. I had already committed to a $247 service/assessment charge when I received the proposal for the work. The estimate did not separately show parts and labor. For example, a recessed light that I found selling for approximately $22 was presented at approximately $295. When I questioned this, I was told that labor was rolled into that amount. The total job was approximately $1,450 and took about four hours, including travel time to obtain parts that were not on the truck. Based on the retail prices I found, I estimate the actual parts totaled around $150. The estimate made inexpensive parts appear substantially more expensive because labor and markup was embedded in the individual line-item prices rather than clearly identified. When I questioned the pricing, there was considerable back-and-forth rather than a straightforward explanation. I also felt somewhat trapped. I had already spent $247, the switches were broken and needed to be replaced, and the lighting needed updating. Starting over with another company meant potentially losing the $247 without knowing whether I would ultimately save money. The work itself was good. My complaint is not about the quality of the electrical work. I felt the estimate was deceptive and the pricing lacked transparency. For that reason, I cannot recommend JP Electric.
Very efficient, Very nice and right on time - actually even a bit early. The fan looks and works great and they left the worksite spotless.
JP Electric is a company that a homeowner can rely on. They know their business, are professional and responsive; a company you can really count on.
We had an electrical issue that required massive work and they completed the job in less then 24 hrs and were totally professional and honest throughout the process. Would 1000% use them again!
I had very old, broken & no longer working large, outdoor lighting units removed. Aaron did a great job. From the office folks to the service technician - a great experience. Doris, answering calls to scheduling services, was friendly, efficient with initial, confirmation and follow-up communications and is a wonderful voice representing the company... 5 stars! Aaron B arrived on time, worked efficiently, totally professional, left not a speck of anything, and he was really nice! Another 5 stars! I already have an appointment for the next job.
