Ocean Electric Co is a two-person electrical contractor at 11 Mechanic Court in Marblehead, Massachusetts, run by Daniel O'Brien. BBB records the business as having started in 1984, which puts it at more than forty years of trading. The permit record is the strongest thing on file. Fifty-one permitted jobs are on record, most of them electrical permits in Marblehead itself, with residential work also appearing in Danvers, Beverly and Arlington. The described jobs are ordinary house electrical work: wiring for outdoor air conditioning condensers in Danvers in 2021 and 2022, a kitchen and two bathrooms in Arlington in 2022, and complete new wiring for a two-family house in Beverly in 2019. That is a working local electrician's caseload, concentrated in one town and its neighbours. The licence picture needs a direct question. A Massachusetts electrician licence, number 8755, was recorded as active when last checked in November 2025. The same number also appears on the directory under a Master Electrician heading with a lapsed 2016 expiry, and again as a cancelled Newton city registration. Ask for the current licence number and check it with the Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Electricians rather than relying on the directory's version. There is no customer feedback anywhere. No reviews appear on any source, and BBB explicitly assigns no rating, stating it has insufficient information about the business. The business is also not BBB accredited, and neither of its directory profiles has been claimed. For Marblehead-area house wiring, a service upgrade or AC circuits this is a long-established local electrician with a deep permit trail in the town. With no published reviews, ask for recent local references, the current licence number, and a written price before work starts.
