Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Mills 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
Mills Electric has been doing electrical and alarm-system work out of Brockton for four decades — the company was established in Massachusetts in 1984, and its BBB profile lists Charles P. Mills as president, running the business as its sole employee to this day. The state registry confirms Charles P. Mills' Massachusetts electrician license is active, and BuildZoom's own permitting records show 44 projects filed at the address, a mix of commercial and residential wiring work. The written record is thin — just two Google reviews — but consistent: in a 2024 review, a customer described relying on the company for commercial and residential jobs for over eight years, praising prompt arrival and well-prepared technicians; a 2021 review calls the company reliable for electrical needs. Worth knowing before calling: this is essentially a one-person operation, so scheduling likely hinges on Charles Mills' own availability, and BuildZoom's own directory badge shows the license as "not-yet-verified" on its platform even though the state registry we checked directly confirms it's active — a directory quirk worth being aware of, not a real licensing gap. Fire and burglar alarm system installation rounds out the electrical contracting work, so it's worth confirming which of those a given job needs.
I’ve had the pleasure of relying on Mills Electric for over 8 years for commercial and residential jobs. They arrive promptly at the scheduled time, and are well-prepared with the necessary tools and equipment. Charlie has decades of experience which is reflected in the service he provides. Whether it's a simple repair or a complex installation, you can always trust that Mills Electric will deliver exceptional results and I highly recommend them for your electrical needs. Thanks not only for all the help but the friendship all these years!
Mills electric is a reliable company to service your electrical needs.
