Millennium Electric

Millennium Electric is a Brockton-based electrical contractor that handles residential and commercial electrical work, EV charging stations, generator installation and fire alarm systems across the South Shore and Southeastern Massachusetts. It is a small operation: the Thumbtack profile lists one employee, names Richard Sullivan as the person behind the background check, and records 15 jobs hired through the platform. Customers write about "Rich" or "Richard" personally rather than about a crew, which is the shape of an owner-operator business. The written record is short but consistent. Thumbtack publishes a 4.8-star average from 6 ratings, 83% of them five stars. A homeowner writing in December 2024 said he showed up when he said he would, troubleshot the problem, fixed it and charged fairly. Another, in October 2024, described him installing several light fixtures in a new home and called him knowledgeable and reasonably priced. A 2017 customer had him mount a TV and said he was on time and finished quickly. Two more reviewers, both in January 2025, used the words knowledgeable, prompt and professional. The name also travels by word of mouth: in a June 2025 Nextdoor thread, a Braintree neighbour answering a Boston homeowner's request for an electrician put the business forward under its earlier trading name, Richard Sullivan Licensed Electrician. That is a neighbour's recommendation rather than a documented job, so weigh it accordingly. The one thing worth raising before booking is timing on multi-item visits. A January 2025 reviewer said an under-cabinet kitchen fan took longer than estimated, so a bathroom exhaust fan booked in the same slot was not completed — she still described the kitchen fan as a good job and the space left clean. If you are lining up several small jobs in one appointment, ask how long each is expected to take. On credentials, treat the platform badge as the platform's claim: Thumbtack shows "License verified — Electrician – Master, license state: MA" and a background check passed by Richard Sullivan in September 2024, but publishes no licence number. The business itself says its electricians are EVITP certified for EV charger work, with fire alarm certification as well. Ask for the master electrician licence number and confirm it with the state before work starts. This is a reasonable call for a homeowner in Brockton or the surrounding South Shore towns who wants a licensed one-person electrician for fixtures, outlets, panel work, a generator or an EV charger — with the caveat that the public track record is six ratings on one platform, so ask for local references for anything larger.
