Lightning Electric is an electrical business whose website names Seekonk, Swansea and Rehoboth as its service area. The website reports 30 years in business, says it is insured, and offers free estimates and 24/7 emergency service. The services it lists include electrical troubleshooting, electrical panel upgrades, home rewiring, knob and tube wiring removal, EV charger installation, pool wiring and landscape lighting installation. In a 2026 Google review, they installed a standby electric generator at the writer's home; the writer said the installation was done professionally and the generator has worked great every time it has been needed. In another 2026 review, a generator was installed completely in one day, and he also discovered extensive water damage in the electrical panel, quoted a price to replace and repair the damage, and returned at a later date to finish that work. In a 2026 review of an electricity emergency on a Sunday night, Dan came within an hour, told the writer what the problem was, came back on time at 9 o'clock the next morning, and contacted the town to obtain the permit on Sunday night; that writer called the price fair. In a 2026 review, after a truck had ripped down the wires, Dan was there fast and the power was back within an hour. During a blizzard, a 2026 review said, they diagnosed the issue quickly and had the writer back up and running. In a 2026 review, a writer referred through a RISE Engineering energy assessment reached out for an inspection, and Lightning squeezed them in the very next day. A 2025 review said Dan arrived on time, explained the work that needed to be done, and left everything clean and tidy afterward. In a 2026 review, the writer was quoted $30,000 for a job updating a circuit that another company offered to do for $1,000. A 2025 review called them not professional.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Lightning Electric. 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
The whole process from quote through installation was easy Dan answered all our questions and we were very happy with the end results Highly recommended!
Having a standby electric generator installed by lighting electric at our home has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. The generator has already proven its value last winter when we’ve lost power. The installation was done professionally, and the generator has worked great every time we’ve needed it. There is something reassuring about knowing that when the weather gets bad and the power goes out, we have a reliable backup system ready to keep our home running.
I was referred to Lightning Electric while working with RISE Engineering energy assessment. Coincidentally, Lightning is one of the electricians that RISE will contract with as well, so I reached out for an inspection. We were in a time sensitive situation & Lightning was able to squeeze us in the very next day. We appreciated the accommodating & friendly service
Easy scheduling! At first, I was a little apprehensive that there might be issues with the generator at the new home. Dan worked fast & fielded all of my questions which gave us peace of mind for the year ahead.
