Ml Electric is a Norwood, Massachusetts electrical company that's been in business about 11 years, with 4.9 stars across 188 Thumbtack ratings and 396 hires through the platform. What comes through in the reviews is speed and follow-through. In August 2026, a customer described the technician arriving right away, offering money-saving options, and finishing the job quickly with minimal mess while explaining the safety considerations along the way. Another customer from the same month called the company back a second time โ first for a dead refrigerator circuit, then months later for breaker panels a storm had fried โ and said both jobs were handled quickly and painlessly. A June 2026 review described a responsive technician who walked the customer through the fix, and a September 2025 review recounted a same-visit repair of two burnt-out sockets. The reviews name different technicians โ Austin, Markel, Mikal โ which the company's Thumbtack profile confirms is the normal shape here: several electricians work under the ML Electric name, not just one. The 96% five-star share across 188 ratings holds up across that whole crew, not one standout tech. Its listed work covers outlets, wiring, lighting, and breaker panels or fuse boxes, and every review on file is a repair or troubleshooting call rather than a ground-up installation. Across the 188 Thumbtack ratings the spread is heavily positive โ 96% five-star against a small 3% at one star โ the kind of consistency that holds up at volume.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages โ not a quote from Ml Electric. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps โ a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350โ$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers โ hung on existing boxes.

Austin made himself available immediately. He made several money-saving suggestions. He did the job quickly with a minimum of mess. He was in communication with us the whole time and very helpfully explained our options, their costs and benefits. His concern for doing things safely and properly was notable. We liked working with him and would hire him again in a heartbeat.
Markel is great! He came right away when our fridge wasnโt working and got it fixed immediately. We had him back a few months later when a storm fried a bunch of our breakers. It was a lot of work, and he completed it all quickly and made the whole process very easy for us.
Trying to find someone to do the job quickly wasnโt easy. Mikal was very responsive and showed me what he was doing to fix my issue. I will definitely call him and highly refer him for your electrical needs.
Markel was great to work with from the beginning. With the high quantity of 5-star reviews he had, I wasn't terribly worried about the quality of work. I prioritize communication as I had to coordinate with my wife and I's schedules, other contractor work, and ordering the materials (which were delayed)> Markel made it so easy and completed the work in under 24 hours. He installed 4 Ring cameras around the house, removed an old, improperly installed electric heater, and some other minor work. I am very pleased with the work and professionalism and would recommend Markel to others in need of electrician services.
Was able to come over immediately and replace one of the two sockets that had burnt out. Fixing that fix the other one as well I will gladly call him again.
