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

Michael Totten Electric is a Cape Cod electrician whose Massachusetts electrician license is held directly by Michael Totten, the electrician whose name recurs throughout the company's reviews as the person customers call and who dispatches crews to jobs. Customers who have hired the business consistently praise its generator work, including installing and servicing standby Generac systems, alongside everyday residential jobs such as panel and lighting installation, outlet work, and circuit-breaker troubleshooting. Reviewers repeatedly credit the same handful of technicians, including Sean, Garrett, Dwain and Anthony, for showing up on time, communicating clearly about scheduling changes, and leaving work areas clean. Several accounts describe repeat business over multiple years, including at least one commercial customer and a neighborhood association, and describe the crew going beyond the immediate job, from helping move a gazebo to stepping in on short notice when another electrician failed to show for a kitchen remodel. The large majority of the business's Google reviews from 2022 through mid-2026 are five-star, with detailed, first-hand accounts naming specific jobs, generator transfer switches, ceiling-fan installs, chandelier hanging, dimmer and exhaust-fan work, rather than generic praise alone. One 2023 review breaks the pattern, reporting an issue that was 'not resolved' and that the reviewer would look elsewhere, without detail on what the underlying problem was. The business carries an active Massachusetts electrician license (#22421, verified directly against the state registry) and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau, though it has not sought BBB accreditation. Anyone considering hiring should ask directly about current pricing and availability for their specific job, since neither is addressed in the reviewed record, and it is worth asking what happened in the one unresolved case before booking larger work.
