**Trade:** Electrical · **Phone:** (508) 335-5819 · **Website:** https://www.johnweisselectric.com/ · **Languages:** English

93% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 2 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

JW Electric is a family- and locally-owned residential and commercial electrician serving Cape Cod and the South Shore, founded in 2019. Several reviewers name the owner as John Weiss, who runs the crew that shows up for jobs.

Customers who've hired them consistently praise punctual, communicative service and clean work: a 2025 review describes a full rewire and service upgrade on a 134-year-old house, including catching dangerous old wiring, finished on time and on budget. Others cite generator transfer-switch installs, EV charger installs, recessed lighting, an outdoor sauna wiring job, and a commercial electrical-panel upgrade at a hotel. The most recent reviews (within the last six months) are positive, and the track record runs from 2022 through 2026 with no negative reviews in that recent window.

Worth asking about before booking: a 2022 review reports a scheduled appointment where no one showed up and calls weren't returned, and a separate 2022 review alleges a more serious dispute — a mini-split installation that leaked weeks later, ceiling damage from a wire search, a failed electrical inspection, and a missing tool cord. Both predate the multi-year run of detailed positive reviews since.

JW Electric looks like a solid call for residential rewiring, panel upgrades, generator and EV-charger installs, and light commercial electrical work on Cape Cod — worth confirming current licensing and insurance directly, since no verified state licence record turned up in this scan.

**Strengths:**
- Punctual, communicative crews — reviewers cite reliable scheduling and follow-up
- Detailed rewire work — a 134-year-old home's service and wiring replaced safely
- Repeat customer relationship — several reviewers name owner John Weiss directly
- Backup power installs — generator transfer switches and EV chargers installed

**Concerns:**
- Missed appointment reported — a 2022 review describes a no-show with no callback
- Mini-split install dispute — a 2022 review alleges a leak and a failed inspection

**Where sources disagree:**
- A 2025 review names 'JW Electronics' rather than JW Electric for a Nest doorbell install; likely reviewer phrasing rather than a distinct company, since it appears among this business's own Google reviews
- No registry-verified electrical license record was found for this business in this scan despite Massachusetts requiring one for this trade
