Raymond G Richard Electric

Raymond G Richard Electric is the electrician Andover-area homeowners call at the worst moments — a storm-downed power line, a holiday outage, a blown panel — and reviewers describe Ray himself answering and showing up fast, again and again. On Google, it holds a 4.9-star average across 67 ratings, with 4.8 stars on Thumbtack as well, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A+. The reviews return to the same theme: Ray picks up. In a June 2026 review, a storm knocked out a homeowner's entire electric service entrance; Ray was on site within the hour to secure live fallen wires and worked to restore service while staying in touch with municipal inspectors. In another June 2026 review, a tree took down a power line from the house, and Ray took the call immediately and came right out to get things sorted. A July 2026 review described him answering the phone on a holiday to handle an emergency, upfront about the price before doing the work. The jobs described range from quick fixes to full rebuilds. In an April 2026 review, Ray repaired a main power line, installed a car charger, hooked up two baseboard heaters, and fixed wiring issues in a single visit. In another April 2026 review, a homeowner who'd stripped a house down to the studs said Ray accurately estimated the cost of redoing the entire electrical system and stayed on budget. A different April 2026 review described Ray designing and installing six separate security light fixtures around a property after the homeowner wasn't sure exactly what they wanted. In an April 2025 review, a homeowner hired Ray's team for a basement remodel in Andover; the project ran long because of delays from other trades, but Ray's team kept pace and the work was done professionally. Pricing comes up as often as speed. One June 2026 reviewer said Ray diagnosed a problem in a few minutes and charged only the base diagnostic price rather than padding the bill. The company's BBB listing includes generator and carbon monoxide detector work, and its site states free estimates, 24/7 emergency service, and insurance. For a fast repair, an emergency call, or a full rewiring project in the Andover area, Raymond G Richard Electric is worth calling — confirm scope and timing up front for a larger renovation job, since some projects have run longer due to delays from other trades on site.
