Ralphie's Electricians

Across nearly a hundred reviews since 2023, the same two names keep showing up: Brad and Wayne. A 2024 review describes Ralphie's Electricians as a father-son, family-run operation working out of Newton, and the jobs they get called for are consistent — panel and service upgrades, EV charger installs, and same-day electrical repairs. It carries a 5★ average from 108 Google ratings and a matching 5.0★ on Angi. EV charger installs are the most recurring job on file: 2024 and 2025 reviews describe level-2 chargers going in cleanly after Ralphie's beat several competing estimates. Panel work comes up almost as often — a full electric meter, panel, and SEU cable swap after getting four quotes, in a 2025 review, and a 200A service upgrade done ahead of a future EV charger, described in 2024. Fast response to urgent problems is the clearest through-line. A 2026 review describes someone arriving by 10am the same morning a new fridge started tripping a breaker. In a 2024 review, a customer needed power cut to stop a fire risk and got a same-day fix; a 2025 review describes a heating-element fault resolved within an hour of calling. More than one 2025 review mentions free phone diagnosis for smaller issues — a stuck breaker talked through at no charge, a fuse problem sorted by Wayne over the phone. One practical note from a 2024 review: Ralphie's sends estimates by text rather than email, so give a number you'll actually check. Confirm the current wait for a first appointment directly when you call — most of what's on file describes fast, often same-day scheduling. For a panel or service upgrade, an EV charger install, or an electrical problem that can't wait, Ralphie's has a long, consistent record built on the same two names doing the work themselves.
