Highlights
- Decades in business — running in Nahant for over 40 years
- Consistent ratings — A+ from BBB and 4.8 stars on two platforms
- No BBB complaints — clean complaint history despite four decades in business
- License number mismatch — different self-reported numbers across an old ad and Angi
- Thin review volume — only eight public reviews despite decades in business
Poulin Electric is a small, family-run electrical shop based in Nahant, run by Edward Poulin — the kind of outfit with more history behind it than public reviews. Angi puts its experience at 45 years and BBB's own file backs that up at 44, but its visible customer-review footprint amounts to just eight ratings, spread across two directories over roughly a decade. What's on record points one way. All eight of its Angi reviews recommend the company, averaging 4.8 out of 5, and HomeAdvisor separately lists the same 4.8 mark. The BBB has never accredited it, but shows no complaints on file and grades it A+. One thing worth confirming directly: the license number isn't consistent across sources. An older print ad names a Massachusetts Master Electrician license (#A11221), while its current Angi listing cites a different trade license (#3896, expiring mid-2028) — both self-reported, neither checked here against the state electrician registry. This reads like a long-running, one-owner shop with a clean but thin reputation trail — no red flags in what's public, but not a deep, current stream of reviews either. It's a reasonable call for standard residential electrical work, especially with a personal referral in hand; just verify the current license number and availability directly before booking.

Professional, reliable and responsive. Arrived on time as promised, installed the charger in time as estimated, left the site clean. Always returns my calls.

Technician was on time and was very professional. Took the time to explain how our system worked as we inherited it with the house and didn't have any documentation.
