Verified record
Louis Benson Electrician is a sole proprietorship run by Louis S. Benson, with 29 years in business according to BBB, which gives it an A+ grade though it isn't a BBB-accredited business. The written record is thin but positive. A 2022 review described him responding quickly, doing thorough work, and pricing reasonably. On Thumbtack, a customer described hiring him — referred to as 'Lou' — after two other electricians backed out of a job installing three pendant lights and a switch; he came out within a few days and finished it for less than either of the other quotes. For a smaller job like a light fixture or switch install, the limited but positive record here is reassuring — worth confirming current pricing directly given how few reviews there are to go on.
Good place
Responded quickly and was very thorough. Excellent work and very pleasant to deal with. Also very reasonably priced. Will definitely use again for any electrical work needed.
I had two electricians back out after committing to do the job prior to hiring Lou. Once I connected he came out within a few days and was able to complete the job at a better price than either of the other contractors I contacted. We had 3 pendant lights and a switch installed above a kitchen island and the work came out great. I would definitely use Lou again.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Louis Benson Electrician. 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
