Ostrow Electric traces itself back to 1939, when, by the company's own account, John Ostrow started it with an $8 loan from his father. Today it works out of 9 Mason St in Worcester, and its website describes commercial and institutional electrical work, security, photovoltaic and wind-generation systems, fire alarms, and fiber and copper telecommunications. The company calls itself a family-owned union shop in its third generation of leadership, and cites NECA membership, an IBEW partnership and BICSI certification. BBB lists Matthew Ostrow as president. Its Massachusetts electrician licence, #3765, is active on the state registry, held in the name Ostrow Electrical Co. Directories mostly describe a commercial contractor: Procore lists it as a Worcester general and specialty contractor serving Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, with 13 projects across commercial, healthcare, industrial, energy and institutional work, and BuildZoom shows 137 projects for electrical work at the Worcester address. Homeowner-facing reviews are few. On Google it holds 4.2 stars from 5 ratings, and a July 2026 five-star review calls "Sam and his team" consummate professionals.
