Panel upgrades, new circuits and generator hookups are the everyday work behind VMA Electric's 4.9 stars from 169 ratings on Google. The Marlborough electrical contractor says it has served MetroWest homeowners since 2008, founded by Victor Archila, a Master Electrician, and it lists a lifetime labor warranty. Victor Archila's Massachusetts electrician license is active. In a July 2026 Google review, a customer's elderly father had his power line ripped off the house by a tree branch, and VMA had it repaired, reinstalled, inspected and power back on in hours. Other 2026 reviewers had wiring run for a new induction range, a delicate chandelier installed, and a 100 AMPS service switched to 200 AMPS through permit closing. A June 2026 reviewer recalls VMA flagging a poor canister-light layout before installing it and offering to come back later at a price close to the original plan. In a September 2025 Angi review, the roofer's electrician cancelled at the last minute; VMA came the next morning and kept the roofing project on schedule. A January 2026 reviewer credits project manager Alex with clear scheduling and materials on site. A June 2026 Angi reviewer says the electricians spent 2 hours, couldn't identify the issue, charged $400 and never called back to return; a second company found it in under 15 minutes. A July 2025 reviewer says the company would not take on a house alarm update.
“Eight years ago, the electricians for VMA Electric were pulling electrical wiring for new homes under construction. Right behind them, low-voltage electrical crews were installing structured wiring for high-end home automation systems. Right then, Victor Archila, owner and president of the Marlborough, Mass.-based electrical contracting company, had an aha moment.”
Professional and friendly technicians. Job completed quickly and professionally.
My elderly Dad’s power line was ripped off the house by a tree branch. VMA had it repaired, reinstalled, inspected and power back on in hours. High quality work and great customer service.
We reached out to VMA electric to help us install a delicate chandelier as well as some additional fixtures. The technicians treated the chandelier with ultimate care and were punctual, professional and very helpful. Will definitely use VMA again in the future for additional electrical work!
We used VMA Electric to provide wiring for a new induction range. They also ran wiring to give us a new power socket in a downstairs closet. They did excellent work, done by two really nice technicians. The reception and quoting customer service was great as well. We highly recommend them.
Ryan was right on time. Very proficient, knowledgeable, and focused on his work. Efficient use of time. Friendly. Down right nice person.

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