Northern Lights Electric Inc

Northern Lights Electric is a North Attleboro, Massachusetts electrical contractor Nicholas McCourt has run as owner-operator for roughly two decades — the site says he's a master electrician, and his Massachusetts electrician license is active on the state registry. The company works standard weekday hours (no stated 24/7 emergency service) on panel upgrades, EV chargers, generator hookups, and everyday lighting and outlet work for homes and small commercial jobs across six New England states. The clearest strength in the record is longevity: several customers describe using the company for 10 to 15 years across multiple properties, calling Nick, Vin, or one of the other named technicians back for job after job — panel upgrades, ceiling fans, moved outlets, Tesla and other EV chargers. EV installs come up especially often, with reviewers describing careful routing decisions (running cable through a finished wall rather than an exposed conduit) and installations that have run trouble-free for months or years afterward. One reviewer's solar installer later called a Northern Lights panel job meticulous on sight, unprompted. The record isn't uniformly clean, though, and it's worth knowing both sides. A February 2026 review describes the owner as rude and sarcastic during a visit, with his dog barking and disturbing a neighbor. A separate review reports a $1,000 charge for a bathroom exhaust fan swap and an outlet install that the customer felt was excessive, including a dispute over what fixture they were actually billed for. A 2022 review says a doorbell rewiring job left the crew unprepared to do the work, requiring a reschedule, with the reviewer saying money was taken without the job being finished. And a 2021 account describes a rushed condo panel upgrade where the crew didn't answer questions on-site and the reviewer discovered the next day that their hot water had been disconnected in the process. These accounts sit alongside a much larger and more consistent run of positive ones spanning nearly two decades, and none of the negative accounts are recent — the most recent falls just outside the current six-month window. Recent activity is thin (two reviews in the past six months, both positive), so it's worth checking recent reviews directly before a larger job. The written record spans 111 reviews from 2019 to 2026 across Google and HomeAdvisor (4.5 stars on 139 Google ratings, 4.8 on 1,013 HomeAdvisor ratings), plus an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. For routine electrical work — an EV charger, a panel upgrade, lighting — Northern Lights has a long track record of satisfied repeat customers. Given the range of experiences on file, it's worth getting pricing and scope confirmed clearly in writing before work starts, especially for a smaller job.
