Verified record
Mount Auburn Electric Inc has been doing electrical work in Cambridge for a while — the company says three generations of one family have run it since 1946, with more than 60 years of combined experience and a master electrician on staff. Its BBB profile lists a different start date for the business, 1992, and shows no complaints, though it also isn't BBB-accredited. The written reviews on hand are both recent and positive. One from January 2026 calls the service professional and prompt at competitive rates; another from mid-2025 describes a team that showed up on time and was easy to reach for scheduling questions. Google's own aggregate — 4★ from 4 ratings — tracks with that. Anyone booking them might ask about the 1946-versus-1992 discrepancy just to square the two accounts of how long they've been around.
Highly professional and prompt service at competitive rates.
Had a great experience. The teams was very professional, arrived on time, and office was easy to get a hold of for scheduling questions. They went above and beyond for the job, and I would highly recommend
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Mount Auburn 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.
Estimated range
