Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Nichols 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.

Nichols Electric is a Framingham electrician that shows up fast — reviewers keep pointing to next-morning callbacks and same-day fixes for tripped breakers, chandeliers, and basement outlets. Kevin Nichols, who reviewers name directly, runs the shop with help from technicians like Dylan and Nicholas, and the written record stretches back to 2018. Recent Google and HomeAdvisor reviews describe quick diagnostic work — a 2026 review says the team "troubleshot an elusive wiring problem, found it, fixed it," and I couldn't be happier the same visit it was called in, and another from early 2026 describes Kevin, Dylan and the team as "professional, knowledgeable, and dependable," showing up on schedule. A 2023 customer having Nichols Electric hang a chandelier — their third time using the company — said the crew "took their time to make sure the light was perfectly centered" and polished the fixture afterward. Repeat business and named praise for specific technicians run through the record from 2018 to 2026. One clear exception sits in a 2019 HomeAdvisor review: a customer says Kevin quoted the job verbally, then billed well above that quote and wouldn't adjust it when asked — worth getting a written estimate up front for. Separately, the state's electrician registry lists Nichols Electric's own registration, No. 3702, as expired, even as the business keeps taking electrical calls. For the kind of call where you want someone out fast — a tripped breaker, a fixture that needs hanging right, a small panel job — this is a company reviewers keep coming back to. Get a written quote before work starts, and ask directly about current licensing status.
Prompt service, great job.
quick, professional, perfecty completed.
He lived close and great communication
They responded right away, came quickly, troubleshot an elusive wiring problem, found it, fixed it, and I couldn't be happier.
Nicholas was absolutely fantastic, he came by and gave me a quote and then worked with me to get someone out here as soon as he could and they were incredibly professional and I will be using them moving forward for any electrical projects in the future.
