# Poulin Electric Co Inc

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 24 Irving Way, Nahant, MA 01908, USA · **Phone:** (781) 581-1186 · **Website:** http://www.poulinelectric.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.1/5** (medium confidence) — from 8 reviews across 4 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

Poulin Electric is a long-running, family-run electrical shop in Nahant — 44 years in business according to its BBB profile, which rates it A+, and Angi lists a self-reported trade license (#3896, good through 2028).

Its written reviews are mostly old: seven of the eight on file predate 2018, running back to 2012. In a 2012 review, a home builder described using Ed Poulin for both personal and business jobs, residential and commercial, calling the pricing fair and communication good, with "never had a problem." A 2016 review recalls a charger installed on schedule with the site left clean; another from that year describes a technician explaining an inherited electrical system the homeowner had no documentation for. The most recent review, from 2022, still calls the work "prompt and efficient."

A 2018 review called the pricing "a little pricey," though it still rated the work 4 stars overall. With nothing written more recently than 2022, it's worth confirming current availability and pricing directly before booking.

**Strengths:**
- Long-running shop — family-run electrical business with 44 years in Nahant
- Positive track record — Angi and BBB reviews call the work prompt and reliable

**Concerns:**
- Dated reviews — most written feedback dates from 2012 to 2018
- Pricing note — one 2018 reviewer called it a little pricey
