Ryan Ellis runs TCK Electric as a one-person master-electrician practice, and the reviews read like a long string of the same experience repeated: he answers the phone himself, shows up fast, and tells people honestly when they don't need the upsell they were quoted elsewhere. Across 66 Google ratings — a perfect 5.0 average — plus matching 5.0-star scores on Angi and HomeAdvisor from 39 ratings each, the work described is consistent: 100-to-200-amp panel upgrades pulled off with permits and town inspections in hand, EV charger installs, and troubleshooting jobs like a shorted outlet or a dead breaker fixed the same day. More than one reviewer specifically mentions getting a lower, more honest quote from Ryan than from competitors who tried to upsell unnecessary work. A Reddit poster in r/Somerville independently mentioned having an upgrade done by TCK, describing Ryan as a master electrician running his own outfit. His Massachusetts electrician license is active on the state registry. There's no negative account in the record to weigh against any of that. As a one-person practice, the main thing to plan around is scheduling — for anything time-sensitive, it's worth confirming Ryan's availability directly, but for panel upgrades, EV chargers, and general electrical repair in the Somerville area, this is about as straightforward a call as the ratings get.
“tck electric just did an upgrade at my place in Somerville, master electrician just running his own thing.”
Ryan installed a new EV Charger at my home. I am impressed by his knowledge on new technologies, wiring electrical safety and electrical code. Quality of his work and customer service is top class. I highly recommend him.
Ryan is great. Super responsive and communicative. Helped me save a bunch of money by explaining I was over quoted by other electricians. Will be reaching out again for additional work!
10 Stars Ryan is extremely professional, helpful and conscientious. He installed new light fixtures in our kitchen. I had purchased the wrong type and he sent me a link with correct choices. He went out of his way to correct a problem in our fuse box. In today's world I believe people like Ryan are very rare. Too bad he is not a Jack of all Trades.
We just used this electrician for the first time and we are beyond impressed. He explained everything clearly, worked efficiently, and treated our home with care. The quality of his work is outstanding and you can tell he takes pride in what he does. It’s rare to find someone this reliable and trustworthy these days, and we will absolutely be calling him for all future electrical needs. Highly, highly recommend.
Ryan completed some needed repairs for me and was easy and flexible to schedule with and completed the work in a professional manner while also giving us some great advice. I would absolutely hire him again and would recommend him to anyone.

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from TCK 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.
