Barry O Connor Electrician is a one-person electrical business run out of 27 Gibbons St in Milton. On Angi, Barry says he's spent three decades in the trade and has run this particular business for twelve years, taking on the day-to-day electrical work of South Shore households himself. The reviews that have accumulated since 2021 — 19 of them across Google, Angi, and a handful of directory sites — are unusually uniform: 4.8 stars on both Google (21 ratings) and Angi (3 ratings), with no complaint or low rating anywhere in that record. The recurring theme is communication and follow-through — reviewers describe him as easy to reach, upfront, and someone who leaves a clean site rather than a half-finished job. Angi reviewers specifically point to his comfort with older houses, citing experience pulling knob-and-tube wiring, which matters for anyone in Milton's older housing stock. Worth knowing going in: the review count is real but modest for someone describing three decades of work, and several of the directory mentions (localitybiz, cityof.com, businessyab, the emergency-electrician listing site) simply reprint the same Google review and rating rather than add anything new — so the independent signal here is really two platforms, Google and Angi, not the half-dozen listings it might look like at a glance. For a homeowner in an older Milton-area home who wants one electrician for ongoing small jobs — switches, lighting, sorting out old wiring — rather than a large crew for a full rewire, Barry's record looks clean and consistent. It's worth confirming current availability and getting a written estimate before booking, since nothing in the record speaks to pricing structure beyond reviewers calling it fair.

Barry was able to come quite quickly to help determine where we had developed a short in one of the electrical circuits in our house. He was quite pleasant, obviously quite knowledgeable and skilled and found the short in a part of the house's wiring that I didn't even know was potentially a part of the problem. He worked quickly and efficiently to rectify the situation and I am certain we will use him for other projects that we have waiting!

Barry did several smaller jobs that I had amassed - he was responsive and professional. Will work with him again as needed. I would highly recommend.
