Michael Dorsey runs an electrical business (Electrical Residential) out of Boston, working the small, concrete jobs homeowners call an electrician for — swapping outlets, adding circuits, wiring in recessed lighting. On Angi, he holds a 4.9-star rating from 8 reviews, and the five on file paint a consistent picture: in 2025 reviews, homeowners described him walking through the plan before starting, then explaining exactly what he'd done once the work was finished. One customer, writing in 2025, called the price 'very reasonable' after he added switches and recessed lighting plus a new circuit run from the panel; another, also in 2025, said he finished a job faster than the timeline he'd quoted. Angi lists his services as light fixtures and rewiring, and attributes a Massachusetts trade license (#60622, expiring July 2028) to him — that's the directory's own record rather than something checked against the state here, so it's worth confirming directly. He also offers free project estimates, per his profile. All five reviews on file date to May 2025, so there isn't yet a longer or more recent stretch to point to — but for a Boston-area homeowner needing outlet, panel, or lighting work handled by someone who explains the job as he goes, this is a reasonable one to call, with a solid first impression to build on.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Michael Dorsey. 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

Michael was very professional with the installing a couple new outlets in my entertainment room in the basement. He gave me a very simple breakdown on what he would be doing and after he was done he walked me through everything he did. Thumbs up for him. Highly recommended!
Michael was very professional and explained the process in its entirety. He did the work quickly and it looks amazing. Communication was easy and reliable and the price was very reasonable. I will definitely continue using him for any projects in the future

Mike was amazing! And a perfectionist everything was measured to perfection!!!
Michael added switches and recessed lighting in my basement as well as an outlet that required the running of a circuit from the panel. He was very communicative and professional and I was very satisfied with his work.
