Silcox Electric is a small, family-run electrical outfit working out of Quincy, the kind of shop people call for something that needs handling fast — a dead porch light, a condo panel that needs replacing before an inspection deadline, a full rewire on an older house. The company describes itself as family owned, with three certified, insured electricians on staff, and says it never subs out its own electrical work. That shows up in how fast people say jobs got turned around. In a March 2026 review, a condo owner said their electric panel was replaced the next morning, with the required inspection completed within two weeks. Another reviewer, writing earlier that same month, said they got a quick quote, a same-day start, and a finished job in one visit. In a January 2026 review, a homeowner described a full rewiring job on a large antique house — quoted, started and finished within 48 hours, at what they called a fantastic price. A December 2025 review described a more involved rewiring project handled by "Sam" and his crew, calling them patient, thorough and fairly priced. On Thumbtack, that pattern holds up at scale: a 4.9-star average across 148 ratings, 95% of them five stars, and Top Pro status for four straight years running, 2022 through 2025. Samuel Silcox — the "Sam" several reviewers name directly — passed a Thumbtack background check in March 2022. One thing worth confirming before booking: the business's address isn't consistent across the sites that list it. Its own site gives a Victory Road address in Quincy, while other directories list a different Quincy street and ZIP — worth a quick call to confirm where the office or crew is actually based. For a fast panel swap, a full rewire, or lighting work on an older home, Silcox has a consistent run of reviewers describing quick scheduling, clean work and fair pricing — good reason to ask about timeline and scope up front on anything bigger than a same-day job.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Silcox 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.

Replaced the condo unit's electric panel the very next morning and got the inspection completed within 2 weeks. Good quality work at a reasonable price.
Got a quote quickly and they were able to start that day and finished the job. Team was friendly and easy to work with, lights came out great!
I hired Silcox to check the connection on the front porch light, and if broken, to reconnect it and hang a lamp. Two young guys showed up, Rodney and Sam (I think!), very personable and professional, and they went to work on it right away. I was very comfortable with them doing the work; for some reason, they just felt trustworthy. (I guess at my age you get a feeling for people; these were nice kids.) Anyway, they fixed it, the charge was reasonable, and I was very happy with the entire encounter. I have at least seven fixtures to replace in this house, plus a few outlets I'd like to install. They are first on my list to speak to regarding an estimate. I would definitely use this crew for any electrical projects you might have. Knowledgeable, good people with reasonable prices.
Absolutely wonderful! Quick and friendly reply, estimate and work all finished in under 48 hours from first message. This was a large antique which needed a lot of electrical work. Fantastic price and amazing quality of work. A thousand percent recommend!!! Thank you and guys!!
Sam & his team total pros, patient with my questions, nice people, analyzed and did a complex re-wiring job superbly professionally and btw, totally nice folks. Fairly priced as well. I'd rec Silcox elec totally- thrilled that I found such a fine electrician!
