Verified record
Lumen Electrical Systems is a Carver, MA electrician run by owner Joe Slowey. It's smaller than some of the other shops in the area -- 19 reviews on Google since 2023 -- but the average sits at 4.8 stars, and the write-ups describe a business that leans into lighting and finish work rather than just basic repairs. The recent record shows Joe and his crew handling bigger jobs, not just quick fixes. A recent review described the team wiring an entire home addition and upgrading the electrical service from 100 to 200 amps, with the reviewer calling Joe's crew the best of the many subcontractors on-site for communicating clearly and cleaning up each day. Another recent review described Cam fixing a dryer outlet in "record time" after a same-day call. Older reviews point to a specialty in lighting design: in a January 2026 review, Joe installed a wifi-based smart hub to replace an aging porch-light timer; in an October 2025 review, a homeowner had every hi-hat in a 2004-built house swapped for LEDs along with Lutron Caseta smart switches; and in a mid-2025 review, a customer described the team carefully installing an entire home's worth of unusual Hubbardton Forge fixtures. The record isn't spotless -- in a 2023 review, one customer wrote that no work was completed and said they wouldn't trust the company, though no further detail is given about what happened. For lighting-focused or larger electrical projects, the more recent, detailed reviews point to a careful, communicative crew -- it's worth asking directly about the 2023 complaint, since nothing else in the record echoes it.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Lumen Electrical Systems. 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.

Fantastic service - very much appreciate the professionalism, and courtesy - Cam and CT were perfect Thank you
Joe and his team did all the electrical in our addition as well as a service upgrade from 100 amps to 200 amps. All of his employees were great to work with. We had numerous subcontractors at our house during the addition process. Joe and his team were BY FAR the best of all of them. They made sure to introduce themselves on arrival, kept us informed during the day on progress and cleaned up when they were done. We found that these 'little things' were not the norm with most other subcontractors we dealt with on this project. We highly recommend using Lumen Electrical Systems and we will be using them again when the need arises.
Cameron and Cameron were excellent. Did great job.
Excellent service and always on time.
Great experience working with Lumen Electric. Joe Slowly, owner, always answers emails, texts, phone calls in a timely manner. The crews arrive on time and are very professional, polite, explain when necessary, and clean up. Additionally all work is top-grade. Not sure about the cost as I have not had a significant amount of electric work to base an opinion.
