R.A. Hamilton Electric is Ryan Hamilton's electrical shop on Boston Post Road in Weston, and the account that says the most about it is from February 2022. A homeowner had been told by another electrician they needed a new breaker box; they called Ryan for a quote and he proposed a simpler job instead, a saving of $3,100. The work described is the ordinary and the old. In an October 2023 review a customer found the knob-and-tube wiring they thought had been taken out was still in the walls of their apartment, and hired Ryan to remove it. A June 2018 reviewer had a self-installed Ecobee thermostat that would not run properly rewired and working. A February 2016 reviewer had an emergency panel installed, clearly labelled, at what they called a reasonable price. Nearly every account from 2015 and 2016 says the same three things — on time, finished fast and often earlier than promised, and a competitive rate. Two Google reviews from 2024 add that the process was seamless and that he is now their go-to electrician. Most of the written history sits between 2015 and 2018, with a handful of accounts from 2022 to 2024. Ratings run 5.0 from 15 Angi ratings, every one five-star, 5.0 from 15 on HomeAdvisor and 5.0 from two Google ratings. A contractor-ranking site carried one customer's line — timely, efficient and reasonable — in February 2026. On paperwork, Angi and HomeAdvisor both list trade licence number 14066 expiring 31 July 2028 for the company. That is the directories' listing rather than a state answer, so ask to see the licence and the name on it before work is scheduled, and put the quote in writing. A good call for a second opinion on a panel, for old-wiring removal, or for a fixture and thermostat job where a fair quote and a quick finish matter.
“Timely, efficient and reasonable.”
Highly recommend. Finding a decent, timely electrician can be difficult, and I was fortunate to be referred to Ryan. Timely, efficient and reasonable. Will be our go-to electrician from now on.
Was a seemless and easy process, extremely professioal. I will recommend to all my friends and family!
We had a great experience with Ryan Hamilton Electric when they came to work on our building and in our apartment. We had discovered that the knob and tube wiring that we thought had been removed from our apartment was still present, and so we hired Ryan to remove the old type of wiring and bring our unit up to code. Ryan and his assistant Tim went above and beyond when it came to doing the work. Ryan explained very clearly to us exactly what the issues were with the knob and tube wiring and showed us exactly what had to be done to fix the problem. We had no surprises. While we were hiring Ryan to remove the old wiring, we also asked him about doing some other electrical work in our apartment. Ryan was happy to add on these further improvements and charge us only for the materials since we were already paying for the labor. Ryan listened to our desire for improved lighting and better outlets, and he presented solutions that would work for us and our kids. He found the perfect lighting fixtures for all the bedrooms and the bathroom, and he offered to improve lighting when it seemed necessary. The project took a few days; Ryan made sure we had the temporary lighting we would need in the evenings after he had completed work for the day. Ryan and Tim also cleaned up beautifully each afternoon when they were done with their work. Ryan and Tim didn't just do exemplary work. They were also warm, friendly, and affable, and a delight to have working in our apartment. We will actually miss having them around, but we were so impressed and delighted by their work that we plan to hire them again soon to improve the lighting in the kitchen and to install new outlets in the bedrooms. R. A. Hamilton Electric has my highest recommendation. I am a very happy and satisfied homeowner.
I asked him to come for a quote because another electrician told me I needed a new breaker box, which would have been very costly. He suggested a much simpler process for a savings of $3,100. He was also able to show me why I did not need the extra work. So he is honest and does not do unnecessary work.
Ryan showed up on time and got the job done. I'd installed the Ecobee thermostat myself, but it wasn't working correctly. Ryan re-wired and made sure everything was working right.
