Richard E. Rowell Electrician is an electrician. Its website lists new construction, bathroom and kitchen remodeling, renovations, finished basements and additions, A/C, furnace and other HVAC installation, wiring and repairs, mini-split systems, alarm systems and troubleshooting of electrical problems. A 2015 customer said Richard came over within 20 minutes of an emergency call, assessed the cause of the electrical problem and fixed it on the spot: a poorly wired outlet that had begun to burn. That 2015 customer said he talked through what they wanted done and gave them options, so they felt in control of how much work was done and how much they spent. A 2019 customer said he came to their rescue when their electric service went down, got them up and running and told them their service was no longer up to date. A 2023 customer said they needed an electrician to install lights and someone knowledgeable to assist them, and that Rich was the person for it. A 2017 customer described him as experienced and said he did not cut corners. A 2026 customer said Rich knew his job and charged prices that made them wonder if they were back in the 90s.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from RICHARD E. ROWELL ELECTRICIAN. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Y’all. This man - knows his job, charges prices that make me wonder if I’m back in the 90s, and is just so unbelievably kind and generous with his time, his knowledge, and his willingness to be helpful. WOW, just totally blown away and so grateful for Rich!
I not only needed an electrician to install lights, etc. I also needed someone knowledgeable to assist me. Rich was just the person. He is honest and takes pride in his work. I am so glad to have met him and I will be calling him again in the future. He deserves more than 5 stars.

Experienced, doesn't cut corners, goes the extra mile, rare kind of electrian
I had an emergency call and Richard was nice enough to come over within 20 mins. He quickly assessed the cause of my electrical problem and fixed it on the spot (a poorly wired outlet which began to burn). He was very polite, professional, and his prices are very reasonable. He talked to me about what I'd like to have done, giving me some options, so I felt like I had control over how much work I wanted done and how much I was spending. I'd be glad to do business with him again for anything I'd need done. He seems like a really good guy.
