Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Santo Electric LLC. 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.

A customer wrote in 2024 that Anthony Santo's crew is “unapologetically over communicative” — and meant it as praise. That is what keeps coming back in Santo Electric's reviews: the phone gets answered, the quote arrives, and somebody tells you what is happening. Santo says he took electrical courses in high school, went straight into an apprenticeship after graduating, and later started out on his own. His site describes him as a master electrician working alongside two journeymen, Rick Gagnon and Mike Mckay, and an apprentice who also runs the office. The work they list is the heavier end of residential electrical: whole-house rewires, service and panel upgrades, knob-and-tube inspections, panel restorations, and generator installation and maintenance. Seventeen Google ratings average five stars, and the seven written accounts, running 2021 through July 2025, tell versions of the same story. A homeowner who called on a Monday morning in 2021 said Anthony came by that evening and emailed a detailed quote. In a December 2022 review, a customer described a major electrical upgrade and an emergency generator installation done promptly, neatly and at a reasonable price. The newest account, from July 2025, is shorter: good communication, prompt service. Two things to keep in mind. This is a four-person shop, so a big rewire competes with the day's service calls for the same crew — ask about scheduling before you commit. And the written history, consistent as it is, is short and not current; the last account was posted in July 2025. If you have a panel that needs upgrading, a knob-and-tube house, or a generator to put in, this is a straightforward call to make. Ask for the estimate in writing — that is how customers describe getting it.
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.
