## The honest read

Tangney Electric Co is a Worcester-based electrical contractor serving Central Massachusetts, with the company's website presenting electrical work as its focus. A state registry lists Tangney Electric Co., LLC with active Massachusetts electrician license 9181. The available customer history is small and dated, with five Google reviews from 2022 and 2023 and an overall Google profile rating of 3.5 stars from 11 ratings.

The specific jobs described are varied residential electrical work. In a February 2022 review, a homeowner said Steve and his crew installed old-work light fixtures, a fan box, switches, basement lights, and outlets, praising the speed, cleanup, and professionalism. Another February 2022 review described rewiring most of a third floor, completed quickly after work began and finished early. A September 2023 reviewer praised help with a last-minute boiler installation, fair pricing, and professionalism.

The record also includes meaningful cautions. A December 2023 reviewer reported a no-call, no-show, and no follow-up. In March 2022, another homeowner said a $325 diagnostic visit was quoted for a stove exhaust fan and light issue that was ultimately fixed by checking nearby outlet trips, and said they would not call again. Ask about diagnostic charges, appointment confirmation, and follow-up before booking. The documented work suggests a possible fit for residential rewiring, lighting, switches, fans, and outlets, subject to confirming current availability and scope.

**Strengths:**
- Residential rewiring — specific review describes third-floor work finished early
- Lighting and outlets — reviewers describe fixture, fan, basement light, and outlet work
- Jobsite cleanup — multiple reviewers specifically praise cleanup after electrical work

**Concerns:**
- Appointment follow-up — one reviewer reported a no-call, no-show and no follow-up
- Diagnostic pricing — one reviewer disputed a $325 troubleshooting quote

**Where sources disagree:**
- The five written reviews include both strong praise for completed electrical work and two significant complaints about follow-up and diagnostic pricing.
