Mindful Electric is a Canton-based electrical contractor run by Silvestre, who personally handles most of the calls that come in from Boston, Canton, Milton, Dorchester, West Roxbury, Chestnut Hill, and Walpole. The company describes its own focus as smart-home controls, lighting, energy monitoring, EV chargers, mini splits, solar, and troubleshooting — and the reviews back that up, from Ring doorbell installs to full home-electrification projects. Every review on file, 20 of them stretching from 2021 through late 2025 across Google and Thumbtack, is five stars, and the specifics are consistent rather than generic. A 2023 review describes hiring him for a sub panel, a heat pump water heater, an EV charger, an induction stove hookup, and outdoor waterproof outlets in one project. Another from 2021 credits a full 200A panel replacement and wiring for a 60A hot tub heater. Several customers came back more than once — one describes working with him over the years across a panel upgrade, a home electrification project, and an ADU conversion. That pattern of repeat business spread across half a decade is the more telling signal than any single review. His Massachusetts electrician license is active and registry-verified, and separately Thumbtack lists the company at 4.7 stars from 18 reviews for electrical repair, wiring, lighting, and panel work — a second platform telling the same story as Google. There isn't much to flag here: the written record has no negative reviews, no lapsed credentials, and no government actions on file. What's worth confirming directly, given how many of the jobs described are personal, hands-on work, is his current scheduling — several reviewers mention coordinating appointments directly with him around his own availability. For a panel upgrade, an EV charger, or the electrical side of a solar or mini-split project in the Canton/Boston area, this is a well-documented call backed by five years of consistent, specific praise — confirm his current timeline before locking in a date.
Highly recommend reaching out to Sylvester. Did an amazing job be I couldn’t be happier with the work he did.
Highly recommended calling Silvestre for your electrical needs. He was quick to schedule, thorough with his work, fairly priced, and highly professional. He did a few jobs for us and an EV charger. Great work and he’s a great guy.
Can not praise this company enough! When I was looking around for quotes for different electricians, I was rather worried because it was for my elderly fathers new house. Seeing as I work full time and live quite far from him, Sylvestre was just so helpful and accommodating to my time constraints. He LITERALLY walked me through the entire process and was always SO easy to reach whenever I had questions or needed to reschedule when something eventually popped up. I was so hesitant to use a small business because our budget was quite limited, Sylvestre expertise was invaluable. His work speaks for itself and I would hire him over and over again because he made this entire process so seamless!
I've worked with Mindful Electric a few times over the years and it has always been a joy. Silvestre has worked with me through projects great and small - upgrading my panel, electrifying my house, converting from a single family to a 1+ using Boston's ADU Program, and adding an EV charger, to name a few. He is always timely and goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done well; he is a helpful thought partner when I am unsure about implementation. For all these reasons and more, he's often my first and only call.
Sylvester and Mindful Electric was the best electrical experience I’ve ever had-highly recommend! We bought an older home that needed a lot of electric work. Sylvester worked with us to prioritize the high risk areas first and worked our way throughout the house updating fixtures and switches as we went along. The communication was great, the quality of the work was high and out home not only got a much needed and brightened facelift, it also is a lot more safe and to code for resale. Five stars!
