Loughlin Electric, Inc. has 238 Google ratings averaging 4.8, and the names that turn up in them belong to a staff, not one electrician: Tom most often, alongside Ken, Josh, Nate, Paul and others, plus office staff who answer the phone. The Wrentham company describes itself as family-owned, offering residential and commercial electrical work with 24/7 emergency service across towns from Attleboro and Franklin to Milford and Norwood. Urgent calls account for many of the stories. In a January 2026 review, a customer whose house had an electrical fire, with no heat or power in freezing weather, said the company sent help right away, restored service, handled the permit and checked that everything worked. A 2023 customer whose service wire was torn off the house by a falling tree said the crew was there within a half hour of the wire being cut from the pole and had the inspector out immediately. In August 2025, a family nearing a closing date found outdated wiring; the crew came the next day and finished the rewiring in time for the inspection. The smaller jobs read the same way. An August 2026 customer says Tom installed a kitchen light, a ceiling fan and new switches and outlets, and an April 2026 reviewer described a new 240V kitchen circuit estimated quickly and installed a few days later in a couple of hours. Price is where the complaints land. A January 2026 customer said $400 for 45 minutes of work, priced from a book on top of a visit fee, was absurd; another that month said the company quoted $3,005 to add a couple of basement outlets against another electrician's $500. An October 2025 reviewer said the crew replaced one fuse, said they couldn't do three other jobs, charged $516 and pushed a $10,000 panel replacement. A March 2025 customer who had used them three or four times objected to a $59 evaluation fee. A 2022 customer said no one came overnight for malfunctioning smoke alarms despite the after-hours call. The Massachusetts electrician license #17387 is active, held by James J Loughlin. The BBB grades the company A+ and lists it as accredited.
Excellent electrician! Tom installed my new kitchen light, replaced my old switches and outlets with updated black ones, and installed a new ceiling fan. Everything came out beautifully. He was professional, knowledgeable, neat, and efficient, and made sure everything was done correctly. I’m extremely happy with the work and wouldn’t hesitate to call him again. Highly recommend!
Can not say enough great things about this company! Everyone was so honest and trustworthy. They were so knowledgeable and helpful! Very professional, always on time, and amazing communication! I highly recommend them!!
We needed a 240V outlet installed in our kitchen, requiring a new circuit to be run up from the junction box. Very friendly, transparent and fair pricing, and they worked with us to make sure we got the best price they could offer. Estimate was really quick, and they did the work just a few days later in just a couple of hours. Tidied up their work, very clean install, and we've had no issues with the new appliance we plugged into the outlet.
Knowledgeable and professional but $400 for what ended up being 45 minutes work of work was absurd. They use a “book” to price all their services on top of a visit fee. Ya might make out if they under estimate the scope, but like I said, they are knowledgeable so don’t expect that will happen. Charging for visits on top of the work should be illegal but many skilled professionals do this, especially the bigger companies.
House electric fire. Fire department extinguished. Called for an electrician since it was freezing and I had no heat or power. Sent help right away. Price was reasonable. Service restored and they handled the permit and checked to see everything worked. Good job.
