## The honest read

Worcester Electrician is a Shrewsbury-based electrical contractor whose reviews focus on troubleshooting, wiring, and urgent household problems. The Google profile shows 4.8 stars from 21 ratings, and the written reviews identify Douglas White and, in some jobs, Sam.

The strongest pattern is prompt, practical problem-solving. In July 2022, a homeowner said Doug and Sam traced an outage affecting an oven, television, and outlets to attic wiring, returned the next morning, and finished carefully without tracking insulation through the house. Another homeowner described a same-day emergency visit in October 2023, while a July 2022 reviewer said Doug arrived Monday morning after a Sunday call and solved the problem quickly. Other reviews mention attic rewiring, electrical questions, and clear explanations in plain language.

There is one important counterpoint. In an October 2023 review, a time-sensitive quote was repeatedly delayed and the reviewer said Doug stopped answering the phone. That makes response and estimating worth confirming before a deadline-driven project, even though the broader set praises communication and speed.

This looks like a good fit for residential troubleshooting, rewiring, and urgent electrical repairs. Confirm the scope, estimate timing, licensing details, and who will perform the work before booking.

**Strengths:**
- Emergency response — one review describes same-day electrical service
- Troubleshooting skill — reviewers describe clear diagnosis and repairs
- Attic wiring — reviewers describe careful multi-day replacement work

**Concerns:**
- Quote follow-through — one 2023 review reported delays and unanswered calls
