Verified record
Paul W Chace's electrical work shows up the same way across three review platforms: reviewers keep saying he showed up fast, explained what was wrong, and fixed it in one visit. He holds 4.9 to 5.0 stars on Angi, HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack (135, 135 and 45 ratings), and ten reviews posted in the past six months are all positive. The jobs people hire him for are the everyday electrical calls: replacing defective breakers, installing EV chargers, hanging ceiling fans, running recessed lighting, and fixing outlets and GFCIs. In one recent review, a customer described him replacing defective breakers and making other repairs the same day he was called out. In an August 2025 review, another customer detailed him installing four ceiling fans, updating her on each step as he removed old track lighting and extended the wiring for every fixture. Further back, in a pair of 2021 reviews, customers described him coming prepared to chase down fire alarms going off at random times and fixing a broken GFCI outlet — one reviewer noted he first tried, for free, to walk her through solving the problem herself before coming out. A recurring theme is that his estimate landed lower than expected: one customer said a different electrician couldn't diagnose their problem at all, while Paul knew what was wrong right away; another said his quote came in well below a previous one they'd gotten elsewhere. The one blemish in the record is a February 2026 review at 3 stars: the customer said a code issue meant he had to come back and redo the work, adding $800 to the final cost. It's the only negative account among 33 written reviews going back to 2021, but it's worth asking about for any job with real code exposure — confirm upfront how a redo or added cost would be handled. For routine repairs, breaker and panel work, EV charger installs, and lighting or fan upgrades, the five-year, multi-platform review history is deep and consistent. For a bigger job, pin down the code and inspection details before work starts, given the one report of a costly surprise.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Paul W Chace. 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.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Paul did a great job updating my light fixture. He was very easy to communicate with, transparent about pricing and friendly! There were some unexpected challenges with the light fixture and Paul was committed to finding a solution and explaining to me what was going on! I would definitely recommend him!
Professional, clean work, pleasant
Fine and dandy.
Great work! Paul was flexible and quick not only to come home for an estimate but also to get the job done promptly. He comes across as knowledgeable and very professional.
Paul was able to come on the same day. He replaced the defective breakers, made some other repairs, and got the job done quickly. Also made some recommendations for upgrades. Very satisfied with the service.
