# Modern Electric, Inc.

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 190R Main St Ste 8, Wilmington, MA 01887, USA · **Phone:** (978) 658-7200 · **Website:** https://www.modernelc.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 4.0/5** (medium confidence) — from 12 reviews across 5 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 4 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

Modern Electric is a Wilmington shop that's been doing residential and light-commercial electrical work locally since 2009, the company says — troubleshooting, panel upgrades, EV chargers, and safety work. Google shows a clean 5★ from 28 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau gives it an A+ grade, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business.

Panel upgrades come up repeatedly: one customer had their service bumped from 100 to 200 amps after comparing quotes from five vendors and picking Modern Electric for having the most competitive price and the most communicative team (an August 2025 review); another separately describes a 200-amp upgrade done on time to what they called a very high standard (a 2026 review). EV charger installs get mentioned too, with one customer saying theirs went in quickly with no issues (a 2025 review).

The longer-tenure reviews point to repeat business: one customer says they've used Modern Electric as their sole electrical contractor for over five years, working consistently with the same crew (a 2023 review). No negative account shows up anywhere in the 12 reviews on file.

For a panel upgrade, an EV charger, or general electrical troubleshooting in the Wilmington area, the reviews consistently describe on-time work, clear communication, and pricing that's come out ahead in head-to-head comparisons.

**Strengths:**
- Panel upgrades — 100 to 200 amp service done on time
- Quick EV installs — charger installation with no issues
- Competitive pricing — beat quotes from four other vendors
- Repeat customers — sole electrical contractor for over 5 years
