Medium size Electrical Company based out of Metrowest Area. Currently have 9 licensed employees. Always free estimates. All pricing is based on specific work.
"What I love about VMA is that you can get Residential electrical work quoted 2 ways: Time/Material (emergencies), or they can send a man out and quote the job. You may also take detailed pics, send it in and they can quote it that way. My old electrician they did everything old school w calling, & didn't even like emailing, but not VMA who texts, calls, and emails. 2 professional, Journeymen Electricians did 3 separate days of work last month at my house, from the VMA Residential/Service division. They replaced/installed 7 exterior lights, replaced 2 exterior outlet fixtures with Arlington housed outlet boxes, installed one new Arlington, extended light fixture wiring and 2 doorbell wires, and exchanged a transformer for a larger one, to handle the video loads from Nest and Arlo doorbell cameras. I purchased all the fixtures, & doorbell cams. They supplied the Arlington boxes. The 2 electricians were very efficient, quiet, fast and clean. They made sure fixtures were leveled, and working. One of the 4 glass sides of the exterior light fixture broke cleanly and they honestly brought it to my attention, vs just burrowing it. I just double taped it w clear packing tape, and he put the glass in the rear of the fixture so it wouldn't be seen. I didn't want that to hold up the light install, and will deal w the Amazon merchant I bought light fixtures from afterwards. I had a lot of other construction going on, and the 2 electricians were able to do a lot in the timeframe they had despite all the other noise/work/men around. They fixed cut outlet wires from a bedroom new window installation, moved an outlet 3" to accommodate a stud inserted to shore up the new window. The cut wires were a surprise, and to get the city's Wiring Inspection approved, Cindy the Svc Manager, was very helpful in getting the electricians here stat, & the Building Inspector also stat, who had a 3 wk backlog. I had VMA Electric quote me for a porch and their pricing was much better vs another electrical competitor in Marlborough. The guys are Journeymen level, so aren't outrageously priced like Master Electricians, in the same town, who I had been using. When the Residential side has a lot of work, they can smtms pull guys from the much larger Construction Division. In all, VMA had to come out 3 times, bec the work was staged in between inspections. I love their work and do not hesitate to highly recommend. Just know electricians are expensive, and it cost $2,300 total, up front for all that work. Had I used the Master electricians the bill would've likely been double, as found out they were double/triple charging me the town's Permit fees in addition to double all the same work VMA does."

For over 30 years, 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric has provided the highest quality, efficiency and reliability to customers. Celebrating thousands of five-star reviews online and an A+ Rating on BBB for years, the company has become the North Shore’s most trusted and consistent plumber, heating and air conditioning, and electrical service company. The company takes pride in the title as a Diamond Elite Contractor with Mitsubishi Electric and being selected into the National Grid VPI Program. Finally, a company that picks up the phone every time with manufacturer-trained technicians and a commitment to providing customers with an easy, effortless customer service experience. You're guaranteed to be left with the service and price you were quoted with customized options for what's best for your home in the long-term. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric specializes in Installation, Service, and Repair for Boilers, Furnaces, Air Conditioners and HVAC Systems, Tankless Water Heaters, Ductless Mini-Splits and Plumbing. Worried about the cost of your next project? We have options to help you get your repairs on the way! Unfortunately, emergencies don’t wait until you have all of your financial ducts in a row.
"DO NOT USE 128 PLUMBING We have had a lot of work done on our house since moving in a few years ago and have worked with countless plumbers, contractors, electricians, etc. Everyone does the job a little different but they do what you pay them to do, and generally do it well. 128 Plumbing is the absolute exception. We have had them out 3 times now, and need a 4th but are going to foot the bill with a new plumber just to keep them from messing up anything else. We hired them to replace our water heater, simple enough. It was pricey and they did up sell on some expensive add-ons but nothing beyond what most in the area charge. Day of install, no one shows up in the assigned window. We call after another 2 hours go by and they said they forgot we were on the schedule...? After we insist they need to come as we have no hot water and I took off work, 2 disgruntled guys show up at the end of the day. The two guys that came were completely unaware of the PEX system in our basement. They only know pro-press. Fine, use what you know, but to not even "know of" the other connection types and systems out there? How exactly did they complete apprenticing without learning that? Then they were careless and decided to balance our old heavy water heater on our new vinyl picket fence instead of walking 10 extra feet to use the gate, breaking our fence. They also didn't finish installing the $800 leak shut off valve, and just left it turned off and unplugged - luckily I noticed, plugged it in, and got it setup online. They would rather mess with each other and get out of there, than actually do their job. A few weeks later, the valve triggers, our new tank was leaking. They never checked the water pressure and our main was too high (and had been, this wasn't just a spike). They wanted $90 to even come see what was leaking before we knew about the pressure. Then another $1400 to install an expansion tank and Pressure reducer valve (I totally get paying for this, its a new service/product, but the price is much higher than local quotes so I mention it). I put that on hold to talk to some local plumbers to see what they would charge, and come to learn, they installed the water heater wrong in the first place. The auto-shut off valve is in between our vacuum relief valve and our heater, completely isolating the vacuum relief in the exact situations you need it...a draining or siphoned heater. They want another $90 to come back and "look at it" to decide if they will fix the install they messed up just a few weeks ago. At this point I would rather pay full price to a new plumber to come in and fix their egregious mistakes and make sure my home is properly plumbed."

It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
Yes, although there are different types of electricians, they must be licensed, certified, and in most cases insured. States have different requirements for electrician licensing and certifications. In some cases, there may be licensing requirements at the local level, but not the state level. It’s always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. If licensing is not required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed electrician with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
