Verified record
Ralphie's Electricians is a licensed and insured electrical contractor based in Newton, Massachusetts, with a second office in Walpole, offering residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work plus EV charger installation. The company, run by Wayne and Brad and described by reviewers as family-owned, self-reports 30 years in business. The review record is exceptionally deep and consistent. Emergency response is a standout theme: reviewers describe technicians arriving within an hour for hazards like a heating element stuck on high, power lost after a neighbor's tree took down the lines days before Christmas, and a situation where power had to be shut off to prevent an electrical fire, with Ralphie's fitting the job in the same day. EV charger installation and electrical panel upgrades also draw detailed, repeated praise, including several reviewers who compared multiple quotes and chose Ralphie's for the best price alongside responsive, thorough communication. A recurring and distinctive theme is free phone diagnosis — several reviewers describe getting a problem talked through and fixed over the phone at no charge, including a first-time homeowner unfamiliar with how circuit breakers worked. The company holds a 5.0-star average from 108 Google reviews. Recent Google activity has been light — 1 review in the last six months — against a deep track record of 98 reviews since 2023. The written record shows no material complaints — reviews consistently describe punctual, courteous technicians, transparent and competitive pricing, and reliable follow-through, with many reviewers naming the company their go-to electrician for repeat work. Ralphie's Electricians is a strong call for both emergency electrical repairs and larger projects like panel upgrades and EV charger installs — the depth, consistency, and detail of its review record, especially around fast, honest emergency response, stand out.
