Smart Electrical is a Waltham electrical contractor run by Dan Virtan; its Massachusetts electrician license is verified active with the state, and BBB gives it an A+ rating. Sources disagree on exactly how long the company has been around — the website says it was founded in 2017, BBB lists 6 years in business, and Angi's own profile shows 9 years in one place and 1 year in another — but the review record itself runs back to 2017 and stays consistently strong. Google shows a 5★ average from 9 ratings. EV charger installs come up repeatedly. In a 2024 review, a customer described Dan installing a 220V circuit for a new car charger, scheduling it quickly, explaining the work clearly, arranging the town inspection himself, and even walking them through a MassSave rebate that reimbursed the full cost. Another 2024 review described a sub-meter and kitchen outlets installed in a Newton home, with a detailed estimate up front — a third of what a larger company quoted — on-time arrival, wiring run through walls and ceilings with minimal disruption, and even the appliance manuals checked to get outlet placement exactly right. The company also handles emergencies: in a December 2025 review, a customer called late on Christmas Day after high winds tore the power mast off their house, and Dan was out early the next morning, spending over two hours installing a replacement in freezing temperatures and walking them through the repair afterward. A 2023 review from a repeat customer said local electrical inspectors specifically like working with the company — an unusual detail to volunteer, and a good proxy for code compliance. Not every account is glowing: a 2017 review on Angi, describing being given two repair options, said the job took a little longer than expected and mentioned a loose wire, though it still landed at 4 out of 5 stars. For EV charger installs, panel work, or an after-hours emergency, this looks like a well-regarded, detail-oriented local shop with a verified license and a real paper trail of specific, corroborated jobs behind it.
I called Smart Electrical and spoke with Dan late evening on Christmas day. Our power mast had broken away from our house during the high winds. Dan came out early the next morning and and spent over two hours installing a new mast during freezing cold temperatures. Dan showed me the repair and explained what he had to do. He's very courteous and pleasant. I would definitely use Dan at Smart Electrical in Waltham for my future electrical needs. Highly recommend!!! Paula & Greg in Waltham

Great experience working with Dan, installing an EV charger. Highly recommended.
Dan Virtan of Smart Electrical installed a 220V circuit for our new electric car charger. He was able to schedule this very quickly, and he explained things clearly and carefully, He also arranged for the electrical inspection from our town. And . . . he helped us with the rebate process from MassSave, which ended up reimbursing us for the cost of the new car charging system! This was great. Fast and efficient and fairly priced. Smart Electric was great to work with, and we highly recommend them.
