Kuhlman Electric in Lynn holds 4.9 stars from 472 Google ratings and an A+ from BBB, and its 2026 customers keep naming the electrician who came. A technician named Justin comes up again and again in August and September 2026, troubleshooting and fixing electrical problems; one September 2026 customer said he assessed three zones and the existing wiring before recommending how to install three Ecobee thermostats. Other 2026 customers describe Kyle replacing smoke detectors in August and Jeff D'Entremont and Liam O'Connor laying out a tiered proposal in July. Older Google reviews describe bigger jobs: in a March 2023 review, a five-day knob-and-tube upgrade in an old house; in August 2024, a new electrical line to the meter and a new meter box; and in March 2024, a buzzing breaker box sorted out in a 100-plus-year-old home. Reddit commenters on r/medfordma, r/Somerville and r/SouthShore recommended the company in 2025 and 2026. A July 2026 customer who paid upfront for a knob-and-tube assessment said the technician explained little about the wiring and moved quickly to recommending expensive work, and a May 2026 reviewer said a ceiling fan Justin Kerrigan installed wobbled on high and a light switch in another room stopped working after a dimmer install; the office booked a warranty visit for the next day. In a March 2026 review, a customer said a wiring update done about a year earlier left many holes punched in the walls and ceiling, screws and drywall swept under rugs, some holes unpatched and several breakers labeled incorrectly. A December 2025 customer said poor communication during the sales process led to the wrong work and an incomplete job, and an October 2025 customer said the electricians did good work but the company pressed for final payment before the inspection and scheduled that inspection more than two weeks out.

“Electrician Does anyone have experience with a good electrician, who's licensed and bonded? We're looking to do some upgrades on an old house. We're looking for an 80/20 sort of company. Our biggest requirement is quality but they don't have to be perfect. They should be reasonably priced. I know that good work costs money but if the quote comes in 2x of everyone else I'd want to know what we're getting for that extra money. Update: We ended up going with Kuhlman Electric. We've worked with them before and they did a great job. They're a little higher on the price end but they managed to ”
“Kuhlman stood out for residential electrical specialization, Cranney for homeowners who want electrical plus HVAC/plumbing support, Wayne J. Griffin for large commercial and institutional work, and Upwire for owner-operated residential projects on the North Shore.”

“Jesse Kuhlman, owner of Kuhlman Electrical Services Inc. in Massachusetts, said the company’s South Shore division is booked out to the summer, its longest such backlog in recent years. The company focuses on rewiring old homes and has been doing many more electric-car charger installations lately. ... Mr. Kuhlman has tried to grow the company by training apprentices over time. He expects new demand for rewiring homes and electric-panel upgrades to support the business even if the economy slows, a shift from the 2008 financial crisis, when he remembers not having jobs for weeks at a time. ...”
