Knight Electrical Contracting Corp

Eleven reviews have landed in the last six months, and ten tell the same story: Knight Electrical arrived when it said it would, found the actual problem, and cleaned up on the way out. One customer in March singled out something small and telling — the crew wore booties over their shoes indoors, which he said most contractors he'd hired hadn't bothered with. The company works out of northeastern Massachusetts and says it has been at it since 2012, serving residential, commercial and industrial clients from Salisbury and Amesbury through Ipswich and Topsfield, with HVAC controls, fire alarm work and 24-hour emergency calls alongside standard wiring. Its Massachusetts electrician license, number 8077, is active in the state registry. The site also lists licenses in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont plus a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration — those are the company's own listings, not verified here. What people hire them for is diagnosis. In July a customer had a panel box labeled and an intermittent outage chased down, with the electricians explaining each step as they went; in April another had the root cause of a household short traced. A June kitchen-remodel customer said the crew brought old wiring up to code and left new outlets and lighting behind. Across 142 reviews going back to 2021 and a 4.9 average over 198 Google ratings, the pattern is steady rather than spiky. The thing worth pinning down is scheduling. A customer in June had a power receptacle install cancelled the morning of the appointment, was told the electrician was unavailable, then learned the next opening was more than a month out; he hired someone else. It is one complaint against a long run of on-time arrivals, and it is about the calendar rather than the wiring — but it is recent. An earlier panel-upgrade customer, otherwise pleased that a two-day job finished in one, said the crew left dust and debris behind, so it is worth setting cleanup expectations if you are working inside a finished space. A good fit if you want an electrician who will explain the diagnosis rather than just swap the part, particularly for panel work, troubleshooting and emergency calls in the Newburyport-to-Ipswich stretch. Before booking, get the date in writing and ask what happens if their electrician gets pulled — that is the one place this run of positive reviews has a crack in it.
