Verified record
Melville Electric is a Dedham electrician run by Chris, and in a 2024 review a customer said Chris upgraded their service from a 100 amp panel to a 200 amp panel, obtained the permits, coordinated with the inspector, and passed inspection with no issues. That 2024 customer said the final cost was exactly on budget. In a 2025 review, a customer said Chris did a number of jobs on two units, adding lights and new outlets and changing out switches, and that his quote matched the final tally. In a 2023 review, a customer said Chris worked on a variety of electrical issues as they converted their place to all electric. A 2022 customer said the company scheduled them same-day and fixed a problem with their fluorescent lights. In a 2023 one-star review, a customer wrote: "Job not up to code." In a 2022 review, a customer said Chris checked out the project, gave a quote and filed a permit, then disappeared when it came time for inspection, and did not respond to repeated contact for weeks.
Chris did a number of jobs on two units for me. He was professional, accommodating and easy to work with. I had lights added, switches changed out, and added new outlets. His quote was spot on when the tally came at the end. I will be calling him with all my future electrical needs and recommending him to my friends and family.
Chris upgraded our service from a 100 amp panel to a 200 amp panel. Chris was responsive and made us feel like we were his top priority. Chris obtained all the necessary permits and coordinated with the inspector. His work passed inspection with no issues and the new panel looks/works great. Most importantly, Chris gave us a thorough estimate that was in line or better than the others we had received. The final cost was exactly on budget. So glad we went with Chris. We will definitely hire him again for some additional work we are planning.

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Melville Electric. 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
