Every written account of Santo Electric names the same person. Anthony Santo runs the company with two journeyman electricians and an apprentice, and across seven reviews spanning 2021 to 2025 customers keep describing the same two things: he answers, and he turns up when he said he would. The specifics are worth more than the star count. A homeowner writing in September 2021 found him through a neighbor's recommendation on a local Facebook page, called on a Monday morning, and had him at the house that evening with a detailed quote by email — the recessed-light job was squeezed in the following week, ahead of the painters. In December 2022 another customer described a major electrical upgrade paired with an emergency generator installation, calling the price reasonable and the work neat. A 2023 reviewer pressed the same communication point: answers right away, shows up when booked, explains the job before doing it. In November 2024 someone who hires trades for a living called the crew "unapologetically over communicative", and fast. The work itself is the older-house stack — whole-house rewires, service and panel upgrades, panel restorations, knob-and-tube inspections, and generator installation with follow-on maintenance. The company says it serves both residential and commercial customers, though every customer account on file describes a home. Two things to settle before booking. Anthony Santo is described on the company's own site as its founder and master electrician; that is the business's own statement rather than anything confirmed against the state registry, so ask for the licence number and check it with the Board of State Examiners of Electricians. And the written record has gone quiet — the newest review dates to July 2025, so what you're reading about the crew is a year old. If your house needs its wiring brought forward — a panel that can't carry the load, knob-and-tube still in the walls, a generator ahead of the next outage — the pattern in these accounts is a small crew that quotes fast and finishes clean. Get the quote in writing, the way the 2021 customer did.
“Santo Electric was recommended to me by a resident in my town on a local Facebook page. By far the best recommendation I have had! I contacted Anthony on a Monday morning, and by that evening he had came by to look at the job and emailed me a detailed quote.”
Anthony and his team provide excellent service. Great communication and prompt service
Anthony and his team our next level/top shelf. I work with a bunch of service providers, these folks get it done like no other trade team I've seen. Fast, reasonably priced AND unapologetically over communicative. So refreshing.
Very professional, punctual and pleasant. I would absolutely recommend him and his team for any job.
Anthony LIT up my world with just one conversation. He was a deLIGHT to speak to over the phone, and because of that my day just got brighter. Santo electric is such an amazing company! There service is lightning speed i highly recommend them to everyone!
I cannot speak highly enough about Santo Electric. Anthony and his team are a dream to work with, both in terms of quality of work and clarity of communication, in an industry where this is sadly often difficult to find. They are responsive (always answer right away or respond quickly, and went above and beyond several times to help me out with unexpected urgent requirements), professional (book an appointment and show up with they say they will, treat you and your home with respect, give you a clear understanding of the job and deliver what they say they will), and affordable (provide a reasonable quote and invoice you what you agreed). And super nice, too! For us, they helped us with a kitchen renovation - demo'ing and re-connecting existing electric, moving and installing new outlets, installing a light fixure, replacing some outlet covers and switch plates). I will definitely use them again, and recommend that you do too.
