MTS Electrical Contracting, LLC

MTS Electrical Contracting, LLC works out of 14 Lynn Street in Peabody and takes on residential and commercial electrical work across the North Shore and into Greater Boston: panel and service upgrades, whole-home rewiring, remodel and new-construction wiring, troubleshooting, and EV charger installation. The Better Business Bureau lists it as a three-person LLC whose owner is Michael T Sarat. Its longest-running credential is with the BBB, which has accredited the business since April 2013 and grades it A+. The company says it was founded in 2012 by an electrician who had been working in the trade since the 1990s, while the BBB profile dates the business itself to 2005, so the two accounts of how long it has been running do not line up. The clearest measure of actual work is the permit trail: BuildZoom counts 55 permitted projects for the company. On Houzz it holds a 5.0 average across four homeowner ratings and shows five posted projects, and it advertises a 41-town service area reaching from Peabody, Salem and Marblehead out to Cambridge, Somerville, Lawrence and Gloucester. Licensing is the thing to nail down before booking. The company publishes Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine licence numbers on its own site, and BuildZoom and Houzz each list a Massachusetts electrical licence for it, but the numbers differ from source to source and the site's own numbers carry no registry confirmation. Ask for the licence number and a certificate of insurance in writing, and check that number against the state board before any work starts. For a homeowner on the North Shore who needs a small-shop electrician for a panel upgrade, a rewire, a remodel circuit or an EV charger, this is a long-established local option with a real permit history behind it. Confirm the licence and insurance yourself, and ask for references on a job the size of yours.
