Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Torossian 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.
— power restored that evening with utility coordination
Detailed written proposals — supplies, costs and timeline set out up front
Active state licence — Massachusetts electrician licence 22170 verified with the state
Outdoor lighting — backyard entertainment wiring and two-property fixture swaps
Held the schedule — six-week kitchen estimate finished a day over
Reasonable quotes — cheaper of two kitchen bids, repeat customers cite price
Thin recent record — one review in the last six months
Single platform — all 19 reviews sit on Google
Not BBB accredited — the A+ grade sits on a non-accredited file
One-person shop — BBB lists a single employee, so scheduling depends on him
Out-of-state licence unverified — the New Hampshire number is self-reported only
The house went dark after hours and every other electrician had nothing before the next day. Mark Torossian came out that evening, worked it through with the utility and the town's electrical inspector, and had the power back the same night — a customer described that in April 2025, and it is the clearest picture of what this one-man shop is for.
Torossian Electric runs out of Boxford. Its BBB file lists a sole proprietorship started in January 2014 with Mark Torossian as its only employee, and his Massachusetts electrician licence, number 22170, is active with the state. The site adds a New Hampshire licence and a Massachusetts electrical business licence and says the company covers Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire — those are its own claims, worth confirming with the states if a credential matters to your job.
The written history is short but consistent: 19 Google reviews between 2024 and 2026, with the platform showing 5.0 across 20 ratings. Two threads run through them. The first is communication — emailed proposals itemising supplies, costs and a timeline, questions answered before anything starts, updates while the job runs. In an October 2024 review, a homeowner weighing two kitchen-renovation quotes said his was both the cheaper and the more detailed, and that the six-week estimate finished in six weeks and a day.
The second is range. A July 2025 backyard project covered outdoor lighting and the wiring for a new entertainment area. An October 2025 customer had fixtures replaced at two properties, both scheduled within a few days. Small jobs show up too — outlets for garage-door openers in September 2024, an outdoor outlet in November 2024 where he worked around a landscaping crew's changes and, by that customer's account, cleaned up a dangerous do-it-yourself attempt.
Two things to weigh. Recent history is thin: one review has landed in the last six months, so most of what you can read about him is a year or two old. And it all sits on one platform. His BBB file is graded A+, but the business is not BBB accredited and that page publishes no reviews or complaints at all.
For a homeowner around Boxford and the North Shore who wants one licensed electrician doing the work himself, this is a sensible call. Ask for the written proposal — the detail in it is what several customers said won them over — and pin down scheduling, since a single-person shop books around its own calendar.
