Kaake Electric is a Plymouth, Massachusetts electrician run by Douglas Kaake for about 30 years, according to its BBB profile. Its Massachusetts electrician license is active. The work reviewers describe leans toward electrical tied to heating and cooling: wiring for heat pumps, service upgrades, and boiler hookups, alongside standard electrical jobs. In a 2024 review, a homeowner said Kaake came quickly to move a mobile home's heater and air conditioner outdoors and texted updates along the way. In a 2023 review, another homeowner was scheduled in quickly to check the wiring on a gas boiler's blower after a plumber's referral, and a separate 2023 review described a 200-amp service upgrade, a new central air system, and a new boiler installed by three different crews. Two reviews raise a similar concern about follow-through: a 2023 reviewer said a promised Mass Save rebate on a heat pump job was rejected and Kaake stopped responding afterward, and a 2025 reviewer, writing from Maine, warned of no-shows, poor communication, and a high lump-sum quote. For any job that leans on a Mass Save rebate, get the terms and the expected timeline in writing before work starts, and confirm the schedule up front.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Kaake Electric inc. 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.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Best company family owned and operated. You can’t find anyone better. Honest and so reliable. Will never use another company
MAINE RESIDENTS BEWARE ... he's advertising up here, but he's going to string you along, not show up, not communicate, provide a lump sum outrageous quote and you're just going to have a bad feeling the whole time. Use someone else, even if it means waiting months.
I own an older mobile home and wanted to move the heater/air con outside. I’m super thrilled at the speed with which he came. He always returned my texts and even showed me how it was going when things were being done. I highly recommend Kaake Electric for all your plumbing/electric needs.
Great work in the house, amazingly efficient, clear and professional. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Stuck with a painstaking process with MassSave to the very end - years later and got it done!
My plumber said next we needed to see if the wiring to the blower of my direct-vent gas boiler had juice. That required an electrician. So I had to find Kaake by calling around. Kaake scheduled me in quickly. The wiring to the blower did conduct power, but the blower wouldn’t come on, & needed replacement. They would have entertained replacing only the motor to the blower, if that was a choice. But you can’t buy just that part alone for my Burnham FCM, you have to buy the blower. Kaake wasted no time. Christian was polite and kindly explained what he was testing, evaluating, & what he was doing. I got the part for them because I knew it would save time, and they were trying not to charge me anything more than necessary. (Part had to be ordered in at plumbers supply because it’s not a common boiler.) I really appreciate the effective service, the price, the straightforwardness. Another electrician told me they would’ve charged more per hour than Kaake did. I have heat again in my home today! And I am grateful I found a trustworthy place. I appreciate Kaake, and I also liked hearing that Christian enjoys working there because of how they treat people. He said working at Kaake he can repair parts to boilers, but (like I found myself as I called electricians) most other places replace boilers instead of testing and repairing their electrical parts. Obviously it’s more expensive to replace the entire unit. I’d rather repair it since my boiler still has a few years left possibly. Also it’s important to note that my boiler is discontinued and not a common one. However this repair was handled well and without confusion. Even the plumbing supply takes a moment when I mention the model of my high efficiency boiler (hahaha).
