Verified record
Longwood Certfied Electricians is a small, owner-run shop working Boston's Longwood Medical Area — the company says owner Alec Sae, a Massachusetts master electrician, runs day-to-day work with a small crew, handling everything from rewiring older apartment buildings to panel upgrades, and answers its own emergency line rather than routing calls through an answering service. The written record here is thin: a single Google review, dated 2020, is the only public account. That reviewer described a rough scheduling experience — a 3:30–4:30 p.m. appointment window that slipped to 8 p.m., then another day lost waiting for parts, before the job was finally finished — and was surprised to see an $85 service charge billed separately after being told it would count toward the repair cost. That's the only third-party account on file, so there isn't enough written history yet to say whether it was typical or a one-off. The company also states OSHA-30 safety training and EPA Lead-Safe certification for work in older buildings — credentials worth confirming directly, since they're self-reported rather than something verified here. Worth a call if you want a neighborhood shop with a licensed master electrician on every job, but pin down the appointment window in writing and ask upfront exactly how any diagnostic or service fee gets applied before work starts.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Longwood Certfied Electricians. 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.

Late service and overpriced! Made an appointment for 3:30-4:30pm Thursday afternoon, called for a update at 5, was told he'd instead be there 6-7pm. Electrician arrived 8pm, didn't have required parts (which we were told he "should have" when appt was made. Said he would go to store and come back first thing in the morning, 10am. Heard nothing, called for update at 11:30am, didn't hear back until noon. Finally returned 4pm and finished. We were told there would be a $85 service charge which would be applied to total cost if we proceeded with repairs but final bill included it as separate item. Absurdly overpriced, charged $600 to switch 40amp breaker to 30amp and swap outlet.
