Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Morrill Electric. 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.

Morrill Electric is an Amesbury shop the Better Business Bureau lists as 47 years in business, dating to a 1979 start under Earl Morrill, its president and owner — though the company's own website puts its history closer to 35 years, so the two accounts don't quite line up. What isn't in dispute is the volume and consistency of what customers describe: 28 reviews on file across six sources, most of them detailed, and a clear specialty in whole-house generators — Generac and Code Alert certified installs, annual maintenance, and technicians reviewers repeatedly name and thank by name (Andrea, Tyler, Ozzie, Mike). The strongest accounts describe real emergencies handled fast. A March 2026 review described a tree branch tearing the electrical service off a house overnight during a storm; the crew was there within an hour, made the repair, and arranged a city inspection before the next storm hit. In a 2022 review, a customer 800 miles away described a same-day dispatch after sparks were reported coming from an outlet at a family member's home. Another, from 2024, described more than 25 years of using the company across a home, rental properties and condo rehabs — the kind of repeat-customer history that's hard to fake. Two things are worth knowing before calling. A 2025 review described being charged $150 for a GFCI receptacle reset that took a technician about three minutes to fix on a phone-diagnosed issue — worth asking what a service call actually covers. And two separate reviews, one from 2025 and one from 2023, described company vehicles driving recklessly on the road — passing on a double yellow at speed in one case, cutting off another driver near a red light in the other. Neither is about the electrical work itself, but both are worth knowing about. The company's Massachusetts electrician license (No. 17389) is verified active with the state, and it's a member of the Amesbury Chamber of Commerce. For a standby generator, an emergency repair, or ongoing electrical maintenance across Amesbury, Salisbury, Newburyport and the North Shore, the review history — spanning five years of steady, specific praise — points to a shop that shows up fast and knows generators especially well.
Punctual and did a great job. Highly recommend
Very easy to work with, proactively coordinated with the propane company and inspectors to get the job done quickly. High quality work
Great service, very reliable and fantastic customer service. Highly recommend.
A tree branch ripped the wires off our house in the middle of the night on the weekend. Merrill Electric was there within an hour of our phone call, they fixed the damage and arranged with the city to come inspect the repairs so we could be back up and running before the next storm hit. Great work, friendly electrician, reasonable price.
Fast, friendly service.
