The first thing to know about Mr Response Electric: the Massachusetts electrician license #17499, held by William J Augustynski, is revoked on the state registry. The written reviews behind it are older. On Angi and HomeAdvisor, the company shows 4.6 stars from 30 ratings, and most of the written accounts date to 2016. An April 2016 HomeAdvisor customer said the crew found and repaired a dangerous electrical panel condition and supplied detailed documentation. In a June 2016 review, a customer described Bill and Josh as professional and friendly, said they finished in a timely manner, and the HomeAdvisor copy adds they left no mess. An August 2016 reviewer said Steve and Will worked hard every day, answered questions and made suggestions. In an October 2016 review, a customer whose appointment was pushed back by a storm said the company quickly rescheduled, came out promptly and installed the lights the customer supplied. A December 2016 reviewer called the work ok but very expensive. The sharpest account is a 2018 one-star BuildZoom review of an electric baseboard and thermostat replacement. The customer said a job described as one day took three, the worker was late every day, eyeballed the old baseboards so half the sizes were wrong, and left debris the customer had to clean up. The day after, lights and fans in one room were blinking and dimming; the customer said the worker promised to come by later that day and never followed up. Angi lists the company with 40 years of experience in residential and commercial electrical service and repair; the BBB lists it as not accredited, with 19 years in business.
Run don't walk from this guy. Had several electric baseboards and thermostats replaced. Was told it would be a one day job that turned into three days and he was late every single day. When he first came out to see the job he just eyeballed the old baseboards guessing as to what sizes they were. Half the sizes were wrong so he had to keep returning and getting the right sizes, this of course could have been avoided if he measured them in the first place! He was also very messy and I had to sweep and clean up the debris because it was just left there. Couple of times the baseboards did not work so he had to keep figuring out why. Right after he finished next day I had issues with lights fans etc. blinking and dimming in one of the rooms. I called him and told him what was now happening after he worked in the fuse box and he said rudely her come by later that day, never heard from him again. Go elsewhere for your electrical work to be done!!!!
The install went very well. The team was very professional and worked straight through to get the job done in one day.
ok but very expensive

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Mr Response 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.
