Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Nec 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.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
NEC Electric & Solar is a Needham-based electrical and solar contractor founded by David McMullen, and one review captures what they're built for: a customer who bought a 125-year-old house full of knob-and-tube wiring and old gas lines in the walls had NEC strip out all of the antique wiring, bring the house's capacity up to code, and convert wall-mounted lighting to ceiling fixtures throughout. Recent reviews describe the same care on smaller jobs: Kyle and Tom installed an EV charger within a week of the quote, calling the crew professional, careful and friendly; another customer said Keith showed up on time, gave a timely and reasonable quote, and left the installation neat and clean; and a Thumbtack reviewer called the experience quick, neat, and handled by "absolute pros." The company also holds an NABCEP solar-installer certification and is listed as an Enphase Platinum Installer, alongside its core electrical work. One recent review raised a real concern: a customer said they were quoted a price based on a labor-intensive approach and wanted to discuss cheaper, technology-assisted alternatives with the owner directly before signing off — worth asking about upfront if a quote seems heavy on labor hours. There's also a mix-up worth knowing about: a review attributed to this profile names a different company, "Newport Electric," throughout, even though it references the same technician (Kyle) as another NEC review — most likely a reviewer error, but a reason to double-check who you're actually booking with. Separately, the company's own profiles disagree on its history: one directory says it was established in Needham, Massachusetts in 2011, while another says it has served Rhode Island since 2008. Best Pick Reports lists a license number for the company, though it hasn't been independently verified against the state registry — worth confirming directly. For a straightforward electrical job, an EV charger, or old-house rewiring in the Needham area, NEC's recent work looks solid; just get the pricing approach in writing before the job starts, given that one complaint.
Highly Recommend Newport Electric and Kyle! I had an excellent experience with Newport Electric, and I especially want to recognize their technician, Kyle, for his outstanding service. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The work was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail. It's refreshing to work with someone who truly cares about doing the job right and providing excellent customer service. If you're looking for a reliable electrician, I highly recommend Newport Electric and Kyle. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again for any future electrical needs.

We called NEC for an Electric Car charger installation, they came and gave us a quote very quickly and installed the week after!! Kyle and Tom installed our charger and it went perfectly!! They were very professional, careful/clean and friendly!! Everything looks perfect and works well!! I would recommend this company if you need any electrical work!!
Great quality work! Excellent scheduling. The only thing I'm not happy about and I love to speak to the owner, Is that when we were quoted a price it was based on a very labor intensive process. I had asked about the option of utilization of technologies in order to reduce the labor intensive part of the process, The sales agent told me that wasn't possible, and I have this in writing. The price we paid is based on more labor than what was actually provided because tech technologies were actually used. We asked for a price reduction and it would not be honored. This to me appears to be a deceptive practice and it does not leave a great taste in the customer's mouth at the end of the day. I would love to speak to the owner of the company about this because I do believe we were significantly over charged for what we got.

Even if we were offered a four to $500 discount that would’ve been more than enough to cover a Fair arrangement.
