Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Modern Electric, Inc.. 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.

Modern Electric is a Wilmington, Massachusetts electrician built around a small crew that keeps coming back to the same jobs: panel upgrades, EV charger installs, and lighting work for local homeowners and light commercial clients. The company says it was founded in 2009 and has worked the greater Wilmington area for more than 15 years under president Danny Resendes. What stands out across a dozen Google reviews from 2021 through 2026 — all five stars — is how specific the praise gets. One customer described upgrading their electrical service from 100 amp to 200 amp and called the crew's work "all done on time to very high standards"; another said the same 200-amp upgrade came in at the most competitive price of five vendors compared. A separate reviewer had an EV charger installed "quickly with no issues," and a third mentioned lighting installation in a hallway handled "very professionally." A customer who says they've used Modern Electric as their sole electrical contractor for over five years called Danny and his crew consistently courteous, on time, and professional — a relationship that's lasted well past a single job. Modern Electric also holds an A+ Better Business Bureau grade, though the company is not BBB Accredited and its BBB page lists no complaint history or customer reviews of its own. There isn't much to flag before calling — the reviews are uniformly positive and describe real, named jobs rather than vague praise. What's worth confirming directly is pricing, since only one review mentions comparison-shopping against other vendors. Modern Electric looks like a solid call for panel upgrades, EV charger installs, and general residential electrical work in the Wilmington area, especially for anyone who wants a crew with a multi-year repeat-customer relationship rather than a one-off vendor.
Modern is a great company with knowledgeable and responsive teams who are easy to work with.
Lighting installation in hallway. Very professional and courteous service. Recommended.
I updated my electrical service to 200 amp and was very pleasantly pleased with Modern Electrics service they provided. Work all done on time to very high standards I couldn’t be more impressed with their work.
Great service and professional team - would highly recommend
The team from Modern Electric was the best! They installed my EV charger quickly with no issues. It works great and we will definitely use them again for all of our electrical needs.
