Kevin Opperman Licensed Electrician's website names a service area of Fall River, New Bedford, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Taunton, Westport and Bristol, and lists services including electrical panel and service upgrades, EV charger installation, heat pump wiring and mini split installation. In a 2022 Google review, a customer doing a master bathroom remodel said Kevin did an amazing job and made great recommendations. In a 2022 review, a customer said Kevin and his team were professional and knowledgeable and advised them when they needed help making decisions. In a 2023 review, a customer said he came by just to change a battery on a smoke detector that was too high up on the ceiling to reach. A 2023 review said they were in and out quick and the lights looked amazing. In a 2022 review, a customer said they hired Kevin to rewire their entire house, an old 1916 Dutch Colonial, and upgrade its old fuse box. That 2022 review said his prices kept changing over the 8 months and 8 total days he worked, despite the customer asking for a written quote numerous times, that the final inspection talked about for the first week of August came at the end of February, and that they would not hear from him for months. The same 2022 review said he did good work. In a 2022 one-star review, a repeat customer said they contacted the business on October 28, 2021 for a generator hookup and that the first visit came on Dec 10th. That 2022 review said the install, set for the week of Jan 12th, 2022, slipped after the customer was told they "took on several more jobs," and that after a message on 20/Jan/2022 about a part the customer received no further communication.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Kevin Opperman Licensed Electrician. 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

Kind people with great service! Were in and out quick and the lights looking amazing! Highly recommend! Support small business!
We would highly recommend Kevin and his Team. They were professional and knowledgeable. Advised us on making decisions when we needed help! Great team to work with.
We hired Kevin to rewire our entire house and upgrade our old fuse box in our old 1916 Dutch Colonial. Our issues with Kevin lie with his communication. Over the 8 months, and the 8 total days he worked his prices kept changing, despite us asking him for a written quote numerous times. We talked about having our final inspection the first week of AUGUST, and we got it at the end of FEBUARY. We wouldn't hear from him for months. Its an older home that he wanted us to tear it down to studs to make it easier for him, without regard to what it would take to put everything back together. That is not why you buy an older home, if we wanted a new build we would have bought one. He does do good work but I would only recommend him if you have a new build, no time restraints and can make sure to get a written quote.
I would highly recommend that you stay away from this business if you need something performed. I have used them in the past, but it seems like they are taking on too much work now and because of that they are not responsive and organized with their jobs. Great way to treat a repeat customer of yours! I contacted them back on October 28, 2021 for a generator hookup. It wasn't until Dec 10th when they were able to get to my home to get an idea as to what they would need to do. On that day I was told they were 5 min. out but in fact it was more than 30 min. After waiting patiently they finally arrived and was told what they planned on performing during the install. I was then told on that day that the install could not be performed until the week of Jan 12th, 2022, which is when I was expecting the generator to arrive. However, the generator arrived on 30/Dec/2021 and let them know this so the week of Jan 12th, 2022 would not be a problem. I contacted them on 07/Jan/2022 to make sure the week of the 12th was still feasible and was told that they would let me know soon as they were working on their schedule. A week later I called to find out what date I would be looking at since the 12th of Jan had already passed? I was told the week of the 24th they would get back to me since they "took on several more jobs." I guess mine is no longer as important as these new jobs??? On 20/Jan/2022 I messaged them letting them know about purchasing a certain part and was told they would order it. From that day until now I have not received any type of communication from this business. My advice is to stay away unless you want to wait, and I mean patiently wait!
