VA Electric Co.

VA Electric Co. is a one-man-plus-crew electrical shop out of Belmont, run by Varujan Abalian, the name that shows up in nearly every review on file. Homeowners call for the everyday panel and wiring work, and increasingly for EV charger installations — Angi's 20 reviews, all five stars from 2023 through 2025, keep circling back to the same few things: he shows up, explains what he's doing, and gets it right the first time. The depth of the relationships stands out. One reviewer in a 2023 Angi review said they'd used VA Electric for over 15 years across multiple store locations and a home; another, also in 2023, described having worked with Abalian for the past two decades on both personal and condo-association projects, adding that he gets back to her within a day whenever she calls or emails. That kind of repeat business from commercial and residential clients alike is a stronger signal than a five-star average by itself. Recent reviews add specifics. In a December 2024 review, a homeowner whose heating system failed called VA Electric to replace what looked like a faulty breaker; Abalian diagnosed the real problem as the heating unit itself, worked the fix out with the HVAC company over video call rather than leaving the homeowner stranded overnight, and charged only the originally agreed breaker-replacement price. Multiple 2025 reviews describe EV charger installations — one done for a reasonable price, another praising a fast and efficient process from quote to completion. Several reviews explicitly mention competitive or reasonable pricing rather than just general satisfaction, which is a step beyond most five-star write-ups. There isn't much to flag. No review on file describes a problem, a scheduling miss, or a price dispute, and the Angi profile is listed as accredited, with free estimates, emergency service, and warranties offered. The one loose end worth a quick check before booking: the profile states two different tenure figures — 32 years in its own About text and 36 years under Angi's business highlights — so it's worth asking directly how long Abalian has been in business rather than relying on either number. For anything from a panel upgrade to an EV charger, especially a job that might need coordination with another trade along the way, VA Electric reads like a dependable call — the kind of contractor multiple long-term customers keep coming back to rather than shopping around.
