Nicholas Tomaszczuk Electric has worked out of Melrose for 21 years, and the reviews on file — 21 of them, nearly all five stars — keep repeating the same shape: a call goes out, Nick or a member of his crew (Erica and Chris show up by name) is on-site within hours, and the job gets fixed without much fuss. The specifics back that up. One homeowner recalls smoke alarms and motion-sensing outdoor lighting installed at an affordable price after a false-alarm headache; another describes new wiring and a relay wired in for an oil-heat smart sensor, delivered less than 24 hours after the call. On a Melrose Reddit thread from early 2025, a poster credits him with everything from new light fixtures to bedroom rewiring to the electrical side of a mini-split install. Its Better Business Bureau page confirms the Melrose address and gives an A+ grade (it isn't BBB Accredited), and its Google rating sits at 4.8 from 43 ratings. One theme worth calling out: in a 2025 review, a homeowner describes Nick diagnosing a downed power-line problem by phone on the July 4th holiday and looping in the electric company rather than billing for a truck roll. Several reviewers also describe years of repeat work — chasing a stubborn fault in an older circuit, wiring mini-splits, minor light replacements — the kind of relationship that builds up over time rather than a single visit. It isn't spotless: in a 2021 review, a homeowner reported reaching out twice over two months through the website's contact form and never hearing back, despite an automated reply promising a response within 24 hours. It stands out against an otherwise consistent record but is worth asking about if you're trying to reach the company online rather than by phone. For anything from a stubborn circuit fault to lighting and smoke-alarm work, this is a company people keep calling back on — just pick up the phone rather than relying on the web form.
“Nick Tomaszcsuk (http://nicktelectric.com/) from Melrose has done jobs large and small for me, from installing new lights to rewiring bedrooms, to the electrical parts of installing minisplits.”
“In a few hours one of his electricians turned my whole home around. Things I'd been ignoring or suffering with for years, done in minutes. The price was reasonable too. Felt foolish that I waited so long.”
“Wanted to second Nick Tomasczuk. Used him for something last year and he's our goto guy from now on.”
“Good question. Perhaps I've just happened to get the same person. For electrical, I've been happy with Nick Tomasczuk.”
Nick is great to work with. He knows electricity inside and out and brings great ideas to each job to make life easier (think weather-proof outlets and astrological timers!). Highly recommend!
I've never needed electrical work myself, but I've referred Nick Tomaszczuk to several of my clients over the years, and the feedback has always been outstanding. They rave about his professionalism, reliability, fair pricing, and high-quality work. Highly recommend based on their experiences!
If you need an electrician, I highly recommend you call Nick. He is a highly experienced professional who can help you with all jobs, big or small.
When I lived at 8 Parker Rd.in Wakefield, Nick replaced smoke alarms and installed outside lighting with motion detecting at an affordable price.. The smoke detector kept going off for no reason and Nick came out right away. Need an electrician? Nick Tomaszczuk is your guy.
Nick has done several jobs for me both personally and for my customers. His work is so professional and clean. He makes me look good to my customers. None better than Nick!
