"It was our first time hiring an electrician and it was a very positive experience. Paul was friendly, knowledgeable, timely, professional and very reasonable price wise. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Definitely would recommend him for any of your electrical needs around the house."

"George came promptly and looked the project over on a Friday. He said he would be back on Monday and the job would take one day. He and his crew showed up early Monday morning and had the work completed as promised. Both he and his crew were very professional, courteous, answered all of my questions and concerns and they left the work area immaculate! He came back later in the week with the inspector and the job was completed. I have other electrical work I would like done and will definitely be using him again. I would recommend this company without hesitation."

"New washer was causing circuit breakers to flip on my electrical panel. Mr. Handyman, who does my home repair and maintenance, referred me to McCurdy Electric emphasizing that they are the best in the business. Contacted McCurdy Electric and from that first phone call was in great hands. From Judy in the Office to Owner John who came out to meet and prepare estimate, professional and kind all the way. Logoed truck, always on time. Upgraded service to 100 AMP. Shebeeb and Brandon dug the trenches, ran the wires and quite honestly worked hard getting me back up with electricity before they left. McCurdy Electric even pulled the required permits and met with the City Inspector at my home. Just sat back with a book and let the professionals do their magic. Will not hesitate to contact them the next time I need electrical work done. Five Stars. --Charlene in West Peabody, MA"

"I have used Record Electric on multiple occasions. I live in an older home and I tend to build a list of items that I would like to see improved or changed and then when my list gets long enough I call Ron. He is always very quick to respond, his guys always arrive when he says they will, they are efficient and the price is fair. His guys always leave the place looking cleaner than when they arrived. Great contractor. Highly recommend."

FAQs for electrical service projects in Cambridge, MA

Always start by confirming the pro’s license number, insurance coverage, and experience level. Visit the electrician’s website, scan recent customer reviews, and verify credentials with your local labor department. Request proof of liability insurance and at least two references that you can contact. These quick checks take only a few minutes but go a long way toward ensuring safe, code-compliant work and protecting your home in the event of an issue.

Grouping several electrical jobs into one appointment means you pay a single service-call fee and one set of travel expenses. Instead of asking a pro to return three separate times for outlets, switches, and fixtures, have everything tackled in one visit. The electrician stays productive, and you avoid extra trip charges, often shaving a sizable chunk off the final bill without compromising quality.

DIY electrical work can be dangerous and, in many areas, illegal without a license. One miswired connection risks shocks, fires, or expensive damage. Licensed electricians carry the right tools, follow local code, and know how to shut down power safely before they start. Hiring a pro may cost more upfront, but it protects your home, family, and insurance coverage in the long run.
