Verified record
Nicholas O'Brien Electrical Services is a veteran-owned electrician working out of Newton, offering the range of everyday residential jobs — panel upgrades, wiring, lighting, recessed lighting, exhaust fan installs, and electrical/HVAC controls — with the company itself saying no job is too small. The written record is thin: two five-star Angi reviews, both from 2021. Neither goes into the specifics of a particular job, but both describe a satisfied repeat client — one calling Nick 'my go to Electrician,' the other praising his knowledge of the electrical code and calling him an out-of-the-box thinker who works hard. Both Angi and HomeAdvisor show a perfect 5.0-star average, though each is built on only two ratings. Worth knowing before calling: there isn't a detailed, recent account of a specific job on file, so for a bigger project it's worth asking for references or examples of similar work he's done.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Nicholas O'Brien Electrical Services. 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
Nick has been great! He is my go to Electrician and I wouldn't want it any other way!
It has been an fun experience working with Nick. He truly does beautiful work and is very knowledgeable in the industry. I feel confident using him because of his high level of experience, he's an out of the box thinker, works hard and his mastery of the electrical code. I have been recommending him as much as I can and will continue to do so!
