Richard A Gibbons Electric is a Dracut electrician working under Richard 'Rich' Gibbons — called for everything from a tripped main breaker to a full panel upgrade. Google shows a 4.9-star rating from 62 ratings, and his Massachusetts electrician license (8486) is active on the state registry, held by Richard A. Gibbons Electric LLC. Fast response for urgent problems comes up repeatedly. In a 2025 review, a customer said their main breaker had flipped over a holiday weekend and Rich diagnosed and fixed it within an hour, explaining the cause and what to watch for going forward. A 2022 reviewer said he arrived within two hours on a Saturday for a last-minute request tied to a birthday party, and another 2022 review described him walking a customer through an outlet issue over the phone before even scheduling the visit. In 2024, reviewers describe him upgrading an electric panel and installing an EV charger in one job, and replacing old knob-and-tube wiring in another. A 2023 review said he came the next morning after a referral and worked half a day to fix several electrical problems in a newly purchased older home. A 2022 review told a different story: after Rich hung a lamp that later shorted out, the customer said they were charged a $250 visit fee and then charged again to fix what they called his shoddy work, and that he blamed the lamp rather than taking responsibility. Several reviewers describe repeat business. A 2022 review said it was their second time using him, for same-day repair of a malfunctioning smoke alarm. Specific projects recur across the years too — a 2022 review lists an EV charging station, dimmer-switch upgrades, and a chandelier installed in one visit; a 2024 review describes a pendant light installed in a dining room; and a 2025 review mentions two ceiling fans replaced, with Rich helping pick fans that fit the space. For panel upgrades, EV charger installs, or an urgent electrical problem, Richard A Gibbons Electric is a strong call — given the billing dispute above, confirm pricing for any follow-up visit before work begins.
Incredibly happy working with Richard A Gibbons Electric. Rich is a very talented professional with expertise in his industry, and it shows in his work. We are new homeowners, and were classically caught off guard by the amount of work we needed. Initially contacting Rich for a smaller job, we ended up tacking on more and more throughout the process. He was patient, courteous, and did an incredible job. Would recommend working with Rich to anyone!
Very knowledgeable and professional. Took the time to explain what he was doing and was very fair on the price. Highly recommend his work.
Rich was fantastic. My main breaker had flipped and I needed immediate help with company over. On a holiday long weekend, he came and quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue within an hour! Explained what was wrong, how he was able to fix it and things to keep in mind for the future. Extremely fair price, really nice guy. Highly recommended.
Top notch experience! Richard quickly diagnosed that two of my ceiling fans needed changing out & replaced them. He was also extremely helpful selecting fans that fit the space. He performs high-quality work, is communicative, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend!
Professional, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. He’s my new go-to guy!
