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

Zolotas Electric is a second-generation, family-run shop in Peabody — John and Greg Zolotas, both Master Electricians, have run it since 1984, serving Essex County and the North Shore of Boston. Its Massachusetts electrician license is active, held by Zolotas Electric Corp. Every review on file is five stars, and the same name keeps coming up: Greg. An April 2026 review described him staying until everything worked, even climbing back up a ladder to help troubleshoot a camera issue that wasn't on him to begin with. In May 2025, another customer said he replaced a walk-in wardrobe ceiling light with six flush-mount spotlights, staying responsive and punctual throughout, and in August 2024 a Beverly homeowner credited the company's honesty and integrity across several projects at their home. BBB gives the business an A+ grade and lists 42 years in business, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business. A strong option for installs, service calls, and troubleshooting across Essex County, backed by a verified license and a small but uniformly positive review history.
I have had some really good electricians and Greg is by far the best. Responsive, attentive, caring. He wouldn’t even leave until we made sure everything worked. He got back on his ladder after putting it away to help me with a camera install issue (not on him but on the product). I can’t recommend this guy enough for anyone looking for their next forever electrician. Very kind for a Boston person as well. 10/10 excellent work!
I had a fantastic experience with Greg from Zolotas Electric! He replaced a walk-in wardrobe ceiling light with six flush mount spotlights and did an absolutely amazing job. From start to finish, Greg was responsive to all my questions, flexible with scheduling, and punctual. He completed the work within the estimated time and left the walk-in wardrobe spotless. It was truly a pleasure working with him, and I’m looking forward to future projects. Highly recommend!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Zolotas Electric on several projects at our home in Beverly, and I can’t speak highly enough about their honesty and integrity. From start to finish, their service has always been fantastic! Greg always takes the time to talk through our ideas and made recommendations that improved the end results and helped save us some money along the way. He also proactively informed us of any potential surprises when quoting a job, and kept up with communication so we we’re always in the loop of any changes that needed to be made along the way. It’s clear they have our best interests in mind, which is something we truly appreciate and is one of the reasons why we will be using them to eventually upgrade our service to 200 amps and possibly put in a mini split in the future!
