Loughlin Electric, Inc. is a Wrentham-area electrical contractor handling residential and commercial work, including repairs, panels, lighting, generators, inspections, and small remodels. Its own website describes 24/7 emergency service across Southeastern Massachusetts, while BBB identifies James Loughlin as president and says the business started in 1987. A Massachusetts electrician license held by James J. Loughlin was registry-verified active on August 25, 2026. Customers repeatedly describe prompt emergency response, clear explanations, tidy work, and courteous technicians. Recent reviews cover kitchen lighting, outlets, ceiling fans, generator transfer switches, circuit repairs, smoke detectors, and complex rewiring before a home closing. A 2023 reviewer described storm-damaged service being repaired quickly with an inspector brought in, while another detailed a 240V kitchen outlet installed cleanly and without later problems. Google shows 4.8 stars from 238 ratings; the written record includes many specific positive accounts but also a small set of complaints about estimates, service fees, and response time. Before booking, confirm the full scope and price of diagnostic or emergency visits. One January 2026 reviewer objected to a $400 charge for 45 minutes of work and a separate visit fee; another reported a $3,005 quote for a small outlet job compared with a $500 competing quote. A 2022 reviewer said an overnight smoke-alarm problem was not handled as expected, and a 2024 reviewer reported not receiving a response to an appointment inquiry. These accounts sit alongside many positive experiences, so written scope, response expectations, and any Family Club or discount-plan terms are worth clarifying. Loughlin is a sensible call for homeowners needing licensed electrical repairs, upgrades, emergency restoration, or inspection-related work across its stated service area. Ask which technician will handle the job, whether permits are needed, and what the estimate and visit fees include before authorizing work.
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.
