## The honest read

Poulo Electric is a Southwick-area electrician whose reviews return to the same theme again and again: reasonable pricing and a real person answering the phone. George Poulo, the business's owner, holds an active Massachusetts electrician license (No. 25420), and reviewers across HomeAdvisor and Angi name him and members of his crew directly for panel upgrades, breaker replacements, EV charger installs, and everyday fixture and fan work.

HomeAdvisor and Angi both show the same 4.7-star average from 58 ratings apiece, a rare match between platforms. The most recent activity backs it up: three reviews in the last six months all came back five stars, including a same-day ceiling fan job and a customer who called Poulo "the only company to call me back" about a bathroom fan. Further back, a 2022 review described a Tesla wall-connector install finished on two days' notice at 35 to 50 percent below other electricians' quotes, and a 2018 review recounted a full breaker-to-200-amp upgrade priced hundreds of dollars under the next lowest bid.

The one recurring snag worth asking about is reachability once a job is on the books. A 2022 Google review said calls went unreturned after three tries, and a 2021 Angi review described a no-show with no firm rescheduled time. The sharpest account, a detailed 2019 review, said a helper working under Poulo left a thermostat wire cut inside a wall and the job stretched to about a month before it was sorted out.

For straightforward electrical work — panel upgrades, EV chargers, fixture and fan installs — Poulo Electric has a long paper trail that's mostly positive and a license that checks out under the owner's name. Given the scattered scheduling complaints, it's worth pinning down a firm appointment window up front and following up quickly if a callback doesn't come.

**Strengths:**
- Fair pricing — reviewers cite below-quote pricing repeatedly
- Quick callbacks — praised for responding when others didn't
- Verified license — active MA electrician registration under owner

**Concerns:**
- Missed callbacks — 2021–2022 reviews cite unreturned calls and a no-show
- Unsupervised helper — a 2019 review described a cut wire and month-long job
