Red's Electrical Services

Red's Electrical Services is a family-owned electrical contractor based in Lynnfield that says it covers the North Shore — Peabody, Wakefield, Reading, North Reading, Saugus, Melrose, Stoneham, Danvers, and Middleton among the towns it names — doing residential and commercial work that spans panel upgrades, EV charger and generator installs, and emergency calls. The company describes itself as family-run with licensed master electricians on staff. Behind that is a deep record: 40 Google reviews dating back to 2022, every one of them 5 stars, and a good share from commercial clients — restaurants, bakeries, a commercial kitchen supplier, facility managers overseeing multiple sites. The throughline across the record is after-hours responsiveness. In a 2025 review, a homeowner described the power company cutting electricity to the house at 11:30pm on a Sunday, reaching Red — the only 24/7 electrician who answered — after midnight, who then showed up around 6am with a permit already pulled and installed a generator switch. In a 2023 review, a customer described a weekend main-panel failure that other companies advertising emergency service didn't answer, with a full replacement completed by Monday afternoon without pushing extras. A January 2026 review describes a similar pattern on the commercial side: a sprinkler pipe burst on New Year's Eve took out lights at a business, and Red was there New Year's Day to get it reopened, then back again weeks later for a damaged fire panel. Beyond emergencies, reviews describe recessed lighting and outlet work, a 2025 rewire of one floor of an occupied multifamily building, and — in a 2022 review — running new power to the third floor of an 1800s home, which the reviewer called a challenging job given the house's age. Commercial references, including a facilities manager overseeing multiple locations and an electrical distributor's sales contact, describe repeat, years-long relationships rather than one-off jobs. On Google, the company holds a 5★ average from 40 ratings, and the two most recent reviews, from spring 2026, describe the same after-hours diagnosis and fair pricing the earlier record shows. Given how consistently the record shows quick response to emergencies — burst pipes, dead panels, breakers tripping at odd hours — alongside routine residential and commercial jobs, this looks like a solid call for both a scheduled project and something urgent.
