Thang Phan, doing business as Phan Electrical, is a Dorchester-based electrician whose HomeAdvisor page lists 21 years of experience for the everyday wiring calls a homeowner makes — an AC line, a furnace circuit, a job that needs troubleshooting more than a full remodel. His HomeAdvisor rating sits at 4.7 across 18 reviews, and the pattern that keeps repeating is punctuality and fairness. In a 2021 review, a customer said he showed up when he said he would and quoted a fair price without trying to upsell, then handled the job on the spot and stayed patient while she retested the fix herself. A 2022 review described him making contact quickly, sizing up the project, and offering a competitive price; reviews from 2023 and 2024 echo the same notes — prompt, thorough communication, pleasant to have in the house. BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts electrician license (#22621) and puts his permit record at roughly 48 completed electrical jobs, while HomeAdvisor lists a separate trade license, #14603, good through July 2028 — the kind of two-number split that's normal when a business license and a personal electrician's license both apply to the same operator. The written history is real but not deep — five dated reviews between 2021 and 2024 across three sources — modest for two decades in the trade, though nothing in it suggests a problem. For a straightforward wiring repair or troubleshooting call in the Dorchester area, the reviews point to a dependable, fairly priced electrician; it's worth confirming which license number, #22621 or #14603, covers your specific job before booking.

He was on time, did a great job, and was very pleasant
Than made contact quickly, came & assessed project and gave a good solution & competitive price for my job. Work was done thoroughly & efficiently. I would recommend and use Than again.
Mr Phan showed up when he said he would, which bucks a trend I have experienced with other electricians recently, He quoted me a fair price without trying to upsell me. He handled the job then and there. He was efficiently, and patient as I tested various things (which he had also tested) to make sure everything was working well again. The whole thing was painless, and GREATLY improved our quality of life. he's now my go-to electrician.
