Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Sorenson Electric, Inc.. 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.

Sorenson Electric is a Groveland electrical contractor the Sorenson family has run since 1974, now three generations in, doing residential, commercial and light industrial work across the North Shore. The most recent reviews, from this spring, keep repeating the same short verdict — quick, professional, friendly — including one describing Wally showing up on time and fixing three separate electrical problems in one visit. The deeper history backs that up with real specifics. One 2025 review describes a light-fixture call answered the same day and fixed "in a jiffy"; another from later that year recounts finding two extra dead outlets while troubleshooting older wiring and clearing the whole job in one visit. In a 2024 review, a customer whose power went out at 7 pm said an electrician called back immediately and talked them through the fix by phone from the New Hampshire border — unable to make it in person, but staying on the line until the lights were back on. A run of 2023 reviews describes backyard and deck lighting jobs, a central-air fix, motion-sensor and basement lighting, and multiple outlet repairs — the kind of steady, varied residential work a long-running shop accumulates. The Better Business Bureau lists an A+ rating and 30 years in business, though the company isn't BBB-accredited. BuildZoom separately lists Walter F. Sorenson Jr., the business's master electrician, with an active Massachusetts electrician license and 15 permitted projects on record, alongside a second, inactive license under his name — BuildZoom's own claim, not something independently verified here. What was verified against the state registry is a company-level electrician license, number 4241, and it shows as expired since July 31, 1998 — worth asking about directly, since the business appears to run on the master electrician's personal credential rather than a current company registration. For anyone nearby needing an outlet fixed, a lighting job done, or an after-hours electrical scare talked through, the review history points to a responsive, detail-oriented shop with decades behind it. Confirm current licensing and insurance directly before booking.
