Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Moriel Maccari's Electrician. 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
Moriel Maccari runs a one-person electrical shop out of Malden, by his own description, and the jobs customers write about are the domestic ones: lights, switches, smoke detectors — the small work that makes a house behave. His site lists the bigger items too: panel and service upgrades, wiring for additions, and troubleshooting. Two words come up again and again in the reviews: clean and organized. A customer in May 2026 had lights installed in an apartment and described neat work finished on time at a fair price; another, the same month, had smoke detectors put in. In a 2023 Thumbtack review, a customer itemized the job — two pendant lights, a new bedroom dimmer switch, two lights outside, more in the kitchen — and said the same thing about how tidily it was done. It is worth knowing how new that history is. All seven Google reviews were posted in May 2026, as was the one on Angi; the only older account is that 2023 Thumbtack review. The Angi profile does not add independent accounts either — Angi says the reviews on it were imported from Google. Angi lists a Massachusetts trade licence, #62611, and Thumbtack lists a completed background check while showing him as not available for electrical and wiring repair requests. The profiles disagree about how long he has been at it: six years of experience on Angi, eight years in business with two employees on Thumbtack, against the one-person business described on his own site. For lighting, switches, smoke detectors and small residential electrical work around Malden, this is a reasonable call, and the reviewers who describe that work are consistent about the finish. Before a bigger job — a panel upgrade, wiring an addition — ask to see the licence and a couple of recent jobs that size, and confirm who will be doing the work.
Moriel installed smoke detectors in my home. I am very satisfied with the work that was done and highly recommend him.
An excellent professional—organized and clean work. Always very attentive and helpful... he went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend him.
