Verified record
Tim Evans is a one-man Worcester electrician whose reviews keep coming back to the same thing: he tells people when they don't need to spend the money. In an October 2024 review, a customer described calling several highly-rated electricians about a 240-volt outlet a new AC unit required, and Tim was the only one who called back — he came out the next day and then advised against swapping the outlet at all, since the cost wasn't worth it. A February 2024 review described him helping with power issues multiple times without charging, walking the customer through fixes over the phone and only coming out in person when it was actually necessary. The rest of the record, though thin, tells a similar story: in a 2022 review, a spa installation done to code that also turned up sloppy, hidden wiring work left behind by a previous electrician who'd been called in an emergency; in 2021 reviews, a quick same-day fix for one job and a same-hour visit for a basement power outage that turned out to be old wiring, discounted on the spot. His website describes him as licensed and insured with 35 years of experience, working residential and light-commercial jobs — wiring upgrades, panel installs, lighting, and security or smart-home systems. The five reviews on file all predate 2025, so this is a track record built a few years back rather than a current stream — worth keeping in mind, though a Reddit recommendation from last year ("call Tim Evans, near Coes Pond") suggests he's still working in the area. Tim Evans reads like the guy to call for an honest read on an electrical problem before paying someone else to fix something that might not need fixing.

“Call Tim Evans (near coos pond).”
I moved down to the Worcestor area back in 2020. At the time, I purchased an AC unit before moving into our home, but it turned out that the unit required a 240 volt outlet instead of the standard 120 volt. I called a handful of electricians and companies that had high ratings and left voicemails detailing my issue and what I wanted done. Tim was the only one who responded and he was prompt in his response. He came over the next day and we talked about what I needed and why, and he ended up advising me to not swap out the outlet as the cost just wasn't worth it. He was also kind enough to not even charge me a service fee even though he came out to my home. I went with the alternative he recommended, and it worked out perfectly. Since then, I've called Tim for any electrical problems I've run into over the years. What I appreciate the most about Tim is that when I call with an issue, he'll try to walk me through it to see if it's something simple enough that he can guide me though to a solution, at no charge. And often times the issues end up being relatively simple and he's helped me avoid any service fees when a lot of other businesses would take advantage of my lack of expertise with electrical problems. More recently, I had an issue with a section of my home losing power over the weekend, where the breakers for 9(!) areas tripped. I called Tim and he was able to diagnose the issue almost immediately. He showed up the next day and replaced the impacted breakers in a little over an hour. He also walked through my home with me to check and confirm that all the lights and outlets were working correctly. I cross referenced the work he did with what the typical pricing for the same work is for on Google and he gave me a very fair price. Tim is also very personable and he's always willing to share his knowledge about the work he's performing. I've actually recommended him to colleagues and friends, some of whom have called him for his services and they have been more than satisfied with the work he's provided. If you're looking for an honest and fair electrician, I highly recommend Tim.
Tim has been such an amazing person, he helped me multiple times with my power issues without charging me, he would give me instruction on how to proceed and boom once it worked, he would explain me the root cause and why it happened. Such a great professional, he would only come if necessary before charging me. I must say between all the electricians I dealt in the past, he is the winner. He really cares about his customers, he builds relationship and assist, that is what a call a great customer service. I would recommend him anytime.
Tim was quick, responsive, and professional. We called him for a spa installation, and he knew how to approach the job properly, installing to code with the correct panel breakers and emergency exterior breakers. Additionally, he helped uncover some shady electric work that was covered up by previous electricians that were called during emergencies. One example: Our boiler broke in the mid of winter last year. We had to call for an emergency installation. The electrician that was sub'd out by our energy company snipped some wires and hid them up in the top of the panel, then proceeded to call us to come and fix issues months later. Tim uncovered these issues and fixed them with ease, repairing some outlets and lights which suddenly did not work since the boiler visit. He did this in addition to the job he was hired for and only charged us for some additional time. He was very fair, and I'd recommend him for all electrical needs.
Tim did a great job doing electrical work in my home. He responded quickly and came out the next day to conduct work. He fixed everything in a timely manner and was very professional. If I ever need work done again I'll be sure to call him.
Tim came to my home within the hour of me calling him when the power went out in my basement. He spent 5-10 minutes. He informed me that electrical wires and the box were old and probably rubbing the wrong way. He reorganized them and said to call him and he would come back out and replace the box. He charged me a discounted fee. I haven’t had anymore issues but plan to call him if do.
