Motha Electric is a family-run electrical contractor based in Framingham, Massachusetts, serving homeowners and businesses across Middlesex County since 1979 — a father-and-son operation today led by Jeff Motha, who holds an active, state-verified Massachusetts electrician license. The track record is deep and remarkably consistent: Google shows a 5-star average across 147 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau lists the company as A+ rated and accredited. Reviews from 2025 and 2026 repeatedly describe larger projects landing well — a six-mini-split installation paired with a panel upgrade, a Tesla Wall Connector and whole-house surge protector install, and multiple EV charger setups — alongside routine work like 200-amp panel upgrades, light fixture installation, and outlet and wiring repairs. Communication and responsiveness come up again and again as a specific strength: reviewers describe the team as easy to reach, quick to diagnose problems, and available for emergencies, including a same-day response after ice-dam damage flooded several outlets. A 2024 review also describes the team methodically tracing and repairing a confusing wiring mess left behind by a previous owner's DIY work in an older home, restoring power safely. The one clear exception in an otherwise strong record is a 2021 review reporting a month of silence after a deposit was collected, with the job finishing roughly two months later than expected — a real, dated account, though nothing similar appears in any review since. For panel upgrades, EV charger and mini-split installs, and general electrical troubleshooting, the current body of reviews points to a reliable, communicative, licensed operation; anyone booking a larger job might simply confirm the timeline and communication plan upfront, given that one older account.
“I had an outstanding experience working with Mot”
“I had an outstanding experience working with Motha Electric. Ron and son Jeff are a father-son business, with an excellent team behind them. They dedicated 2 days to updating the electric in a home we purchased.”
Love Motha electric, They are the best in all of Massachusetts I’ve used them for many, many years and have never been disappointed. They are reliable, Dependable and very fairly priced. I’ve gotten estimates from other electricians and they always are the least expensive and do the very best job.. Don’t hesitate to use them you will not be sorry!!!
Motha did outstanding work hanging light fixtures in our kitchen, dining room, and hallway. They paid close attention to detail to make sure everything was right and made sure it was done correctly. No project ends up being as simple as it sounds, and when we encountered some roadblocks that made the job more difficult, the Motha team called in reinforcements (Ron), carefully planned things out, clearly explained the changes, got my acceptance, and completed the work. The team also solved an issue we’d been having with our oven for years, and now it runs perfectly. We can’t thank Jeff, Steve, John, and Ron enough for the great work, excellent communication, and customer service. They will take great care of your home and I sincerely recommend them for your next project!
I had a Tesla Wall Connector and a whole-house surge protector installed by Motha Electric, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally. The installation quality was excellent, and the electrical inspection was completed and approved without any issues. I especially want to thank Jeff, who met with the inspector during the inspection, making the entire process smooth and worry-free. I also want to recognize Jeff and the office staff, especially Kirsty. Their communication was outstanding. Every time I had a question, I received a prompt, helpful, and friendly response. They kept me informed throughout the entire process and made everything easy to understand. It’s not often that you find a company that combines excellent workmanship with outstanding customer service, but Motha Electric certainly does. I am extremely satisfied with every aspect of my experience and would highly recommend Motha Electric to anyone looking for reliable, professional electrical services.
Jeff and his team at Motha were great to work with on our EV charger install. They’re professional, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process simple and stress-free. Everything went smoothly, and I really appreciated how helpful he was. I’d definitely recommend Motha to anyone needing EV charger installation.
We couldn’t be happier with Jeff and his crew, John and Steve. They were easy to work with, responsive, knowledgeable, and highly skilled in completing a wide range of projects — from installing a home standby generator and replacing our existing driveway lamp posts to adding soffit lighting, AC outlets, and a security camera system. Their attention to detail and commitment to doing things right really stood out. Hats off and a big thank-you to Motha Electric for the excellent work!
