When a storm took out a homeowner's entire electric service entrance on 5/30/26, Ray was on site within the hour to secure the live fallen utility wires, according to a June 2026 Google review. Raymond G Richard Electric is an Andover electrician, and its Google page shows 4.9 stars from 67 ratings, with Thumbtack at 4.8 from 22. Recent Google reviews come back to fast response. A June 2026 reviewer whose power line was taken down by a tree said Ray took the call immediately and came right out. A July 2026 reviewer said he answered the phone on a hot holiday weekend. A May 2026 customer had a service panel issue and said Ray came out on a Sunday and replaced the panel board. The work runs from small jobs to whole houses. An August 2026 review describes a service upgrade by Ray and Tony, finished with everything in the fridge still cold. A June 2026 customer had a 3-way switch and an outlet switch installed, with wiring snaked through the walls. In an April 2026 review, a customer said Ray did the electrical for a renovation that took the house down to the studs and stayed on budget; another April 2026 reviewer described six motion-sensor security lights Ray designed and installed. In an April 2025 review, a homeowner described the electrical work for a basement remodel in Andover, including a couple of Saturdays worked so other crews were not held up. Price comes up often too: an August 2026 reviewer called the fix after a new National Grid meter fair, and a June 2026 customer said they were charged only the base diagnostic price. Its Massachusetts electrician licence, #50550-EL-E, is active, with Raymond G Richard as holder of record, and its BBB page is an A+. The company's site says it offers free estimates and 24/7 emergency service.
We had issues with our power after National Grid put in a new meter and Ray came by quickly with a fix at a fair price. We would use him again for sure!
Ray and Tony did a fantastic job on a service upgrade at my house. They completed everything in a timely manner and it was a neat and professional job. Everything in the fridge was still cold when they were done! I highly recommend Raymond Richard Electric.
Raymond was prompt and responsive when we had an emergency on a holiday. He was upfront about the price and helped us with our problem. Will absolutely call again!
A+ Great guy, great electrician. He answered the phone on a hot holiday weekend then was able to do the work in an expedient and efficient manner. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for good work from a local guy.
Quick and thoughtful communication and good service! Ray responded quickly to me initial email inquiry, and he made scheduling a time to come in easy! He installed some lighting fixtures for me, and I plan to hire him again for future projects.
