# Michael Totten Electric **Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 164 Mid-Tech Drive, STE G, West Yarmouth, MA 02673 · **Phone:** (508) 280-3550 · **Website:** https://www.mtecapecod.com/ · **Languages:** English, Spanish **Rating: 4.5/5** (high confidence) — from 52 reviews across 6 sources. 96% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 3 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read 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. **Strengths:** - Generator installation & service — repeated praise for standby Generac work - Fast response — reviewers describe quick callbacks and next-day scheduling - Consistent crew — named technicians recur across years of praise - Verified license — active MA electrician registration held by Michael Totten - Residential and commercial range — trusted for homes and a business's electrical needs **Concerns:** - Isolated complaint — one 2023 reviewer said an issue went unresolved ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Holds an active Massachusetts electrician license (#22421), verified directly against the state registry and held by Michael Totten himself. _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/centerville/profile/electrician/michael-totten-electric-llc-0021-528287) — “Licence listed on Better Business Bureau: License #22421, issued by Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Electricians, expiration 7/31/…” - [State License Registry](https://elicensing21.mass.gov/CitizenAccess/GeneralProperty/PropertyLookUp.aspx?isLicensee=Y&TabName=Home) — “MA electrician license 22421 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: MICHAEL TOTTEN” - Better Business Bureau lists the business with an A+ letter grade; the business is not a BBB Accredited Business. _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/centerville/profile/electrician/michael-totten-electric-llc-0021-528287) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - Google shows a 5-star average from 69 ratings. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Michael%20Totten%20Electric&query_place_id=ChIJbVsjwpsz-4kRpPPVoJue1p0) — “Google: 5★ from 69 ratings” - Customers repeatedly single out generator installation and service, including standby Generac systems, for reliable follow-through. _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/centerville/profile/electrician/michael-totten-electric-llc-0021-528287) — “Services offered (Better Business Bureau): Commercial Electric, Data Wiring, Generators, Heat Pumps, Light Commercial Wiring, New Wiring, Po…” - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2s1Tlp6VjZhV2h6YXpCek5TMURRakZzZEd4WE1HYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x9dd69e9ba0d5f3a4!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOk5NZzV6aWhzazBzNS1DQjFsdGxXMGc%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ MTE is an outstanding company to deal with.
