Nicholas Tomaszczuk Electric, LLC.

Over the Fourth of July weekend in 2025, a homeowner called Nick Tomaszczuk about a power problem and got it sorted on the phone: a neighbor's tree was pushing on the line, so the job belonged to the electric company, not to him. The customer wrote a five-star review for the service call that never happened. Nicholas Tomaszczuk Electric is a small Melrose shop — Nick plus a few electricians, with Chris and Erica named by customers — working on houses north of Boston. Its Better Business Bureau page shows an A+ and 21 years in business, and its Google page carries 4.8★ from 43 ratings. The work people describe is the everyday residential list: rewiring bedrooms, wiring for mini-splits, upgrading old wiring, replacing smoke alarms, motion-sensor lighting outside, and chasing down a stubborn fault in an older circuit. In a 2022 review, a customer who needed new wiring and a relay for a smart heating sensor said Nick was out in under 24 hours and laid out several options before they chose one. A 2023 customer had an exterior outlet replaced while she was out of the house, at what she called a reasonable cost. A 2025 reviewer credits him with suggestions the customer wouldn't have known to ask for — weatherproof outlets outdoors, timers that follow the sunset. He is a regular name in Melrose's own online conversation. A commenter in the town's subreddit wrote in December 2024 that Nick is their go-to guy from now on; another wrote in January 2025 that one of his electricians spent a few hours fixing things she had put up with for years, at a reasonable price. A 2025 Malden thread named him for everything from new lights to rewiring bedrooms to the electrical side of mini-split installations. Two things to weigh before calling. In 2021, a homeowner said he used the website's contact form twice over two months, got the automated promise of a reply within 24 hours both times, and never heard back — so pick up the phone instead of typing into the form. And take the December 2025 run of reviews lightly: most of them landed in a single week, and several come from real-estate agents and other contractors who refer Nick to their own clients, including one who wrote that he has never needed electrical work himself. For small and middling residential electrical work in Melrose, Wakefield and the towns around them — a circuit that keeps tripping, mini-split wiring, lighting you want done properly — this is a shop customers keep for a decade. Call the office rather than the web form, and ask who on the team will be on the job.
