Raymond D Melanson Electric DBA Next Electric Pro

Raymond D Melanson Electric, doing business as Next Electric Pro, is a licensed electrical contractor based in Somerset, Massachusetts, run by owner Raymond (Ray) Melanson and holding an active, registry-verified Massachusetts electrician license. The team includes several named technicians customers repeatedly credit by name, including Tony, Mark, Eric, Matt, Dat, Jeremy, and Nate. The record on file is deep: 153 reviews from 2022 through 2026, the large majority five stars, with recent activity in the last six months. Reviewers consistently describe fast response times — one reviewer's outlets went out in the morning and the crew diagnosed and replaced the main breaker that same afternoon in under an hour, and another describes an electrician arriving within an hour of a call and resolving the issue in 45 minutes. The company handles both quick repairs and larger electrical projects: reviews describe a full 200-amp service upgrade with an EV charger installation, an amperage upgrade from 100 to 200 for older, degraded home wiring, and rewiring in early-1950s and other older homes with builder-installed wiring decades out of date. Several clients describe online estimating and invoicing as a convenience, and multiple reviewers describe using the company repeatedly across different projects over time. Two reviews raise concerns. In a 2026 review, a customer described hiring the company for several small jobs, being given only a short text notice before arrival, having some work billed in full despite not being completed as written, and being told nothing could be done about a garage light knocked by an uneven door. A separate 2026 review described a missed appointment when a city inspector arrived to inspect meters and the owner was not present as scheduled, despite the reviewer's otherwise positive experience with the company. Raymond D Melanson Electric / Next Electric Pro is a strong choice for both routine electrical repairs and larger upgrades like service panel and EV charger installations, with a long and largely consistent track record — though it's worth confirming scheduling and scope of work clearly upfront given the two billing and appointment complaints on file.
