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

Suburban Electric is a Stoughton electrical contractor that's been in business since 1958, according to BBB records, now run by president Richard Piazza, whose Massachusetts electrician license is active and verified against the state registry. The company works across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work, plus fire alarm systems and 24-hour emergency service. Its scale is unusual for how modest its review count is: BuildZoom gives it a score of 110, placing it in the top 4% of the Massachusetts contractors it tracks, with 448 permitted projects on record and about 109 of those in the past three years. Trade press and project listings independently describe its electrical work on commercial jobs, including a roughly 130,000-square-foot condominium building in Mansfield. Every review on file — all eight of them, from 2023 through 2026 — is five stars. Customers repeatedly name staff by name: a 2026 review described Rich, Josh, and the crew troubleshooting over the phone before a visit; another described Dave replacing an electrical panel efficiently and professionally; a 2025 review described an expedited meter box replacement. A 2024 review described switching a 261-unit property to the company for fire and life safety monitoring and inspections, and a 2023 review described choosing the company after interviewing several electricians for a service upgrade ahead of a mini-split installation. BuildZoom's own directory also lists two older Massachusetts registrations under the company — an electrician license and a home improvement contractor registration — that are now inactive or cancelled, alongside the currently active electrician license; that's the ordinary shape for a company that's held licenses for decades, not a discrepancy in the current one. BBB rates the company A+, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business. For residential or commercial electrical work in the Boston area, Suburban Electric has a strong, verified track record backed by real project volume — the review count itself is modest, but everything on file is consistently positive.

I have no words to describe how awesome these guys are. Rich, Josh and the whole crew is so knowledgeable, nice and professional. This is the third time I called them, all for different issues. Every single time they tried to troubleshoot over the phone first. They really try to understand your problem before they send someone out. In these times where we're surrounded by greedy businesses trying to just make money out of us, these people from Suburban Electric really want to just sincerely help. They are very efficient and try to send someone very quick, they charge very reasonable or sometimes not even a dime even if they spent their precious time to educate you about your situation or advised you to seek alternate help, unlike others who try to rip you off in the name of "diagnosing" a problem. I have so much respect for them and will definitely seek help in future if needed.
Dave from Suburban Electric did an excellent job replacing our electrical panel. He was incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and consistently professional throughout the entire project. Communication is often the hardest part when hiring someone to work on your home, but Dave stood out — he responded promptly to every question and arrived exactly when he said he would. He even returned the next day to finish installing a few additional safety features and took the time to clearly explain what to do if any fuses ever trip. On top of the panel work, they installed a new hall light and removed an old cord that had been trailing across our room for nearly 30 years. He brought the inspector in, and his workmanship passed- no surprise there. I truly appreciate Dave’s expertise, workmanship, and reliability. We feel safer and more confident in our home thanks to his outstanding work. Highly recommend him and Suburban Electric.
Great experience!
