Highlights

  • Unauthorized panel access — a 2024 review described a technician ignoring explicit instructions

On Time Electrical Service is a Cambridge-based, family-owned electrical contractor led by Vaughn Speller, offering panel upgrades, rewiring, EV charger installation, generator installs, and 24/7 emergency service across Cambridge, Somerville, Boston, Medford, Arlington, Watertown, Belmont, and Brookline, by its own description. The one written review on file, from October 2024, is a serious complaint: the customer called it the worst electrician experience they'd had, describing a technician named Kristopher Farr who repeatedly touched a neighbor's electrical panel in a shared appliance space after being explicitly told not to. With only one detailed account on record — and a negative one at that — it's worth asking directly for recent references and being clear up front about any access boundaries before hiring.

    Without a doubt the worst electrician experience I ever had (the electrician in question is named Kristopher Farr). He was explicitly instructed NOT to touch the neighbor's electrical panel (in a shared appliance space) and yet touched it repeatedly without permission from myself or the neighbors. He incorrectly concluded that we had a "mixed panel," which is absolutely not true, and even a novice electrician should have known. He turned off the power throughout my house multiple times without warning, interrupting work meetings. He incorrectly diagnosed the problem, and suggested a completely irrelevant solution. When I asked to learn more, he was aggressive and condescending when asking my questions. I told the company about this and they refused to refund the exorbitant visit fee, which was inflated by him doing more investigation due to his lack of understanding of the problem. I later solved the problem myself via a method that any competent electrician should have been able to recognize and rectify within a few minutes. I would never, ever recommend this service or Kristopher Farr to anyone.
