Castle Electric Inc.

Castle Electric is a Norwood electrician people call for a panel that's aging out, a circuit that won't stop tripping, or an EV charger that needs wiring done right the first time. The number that stands out is scale: 771 Google ratings averaging 4.9, with well over a hundred added in just the past six months, on top of an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. What shows up again and again in this spring's reviews isn't just praise, it's a pattern: a technician walks the homeowner through the diagnosis and the price before touching anything. That happened for a wall-oven circuit issue, a bathroom fan repair, and a job that turned into opening walls to run new wiring — in each case the reviewer specifically credited being told the options and the cost upfront. Jessica, Matt, and Chris are the names that turn up most, each tied to a different kind of call: Jessica for outlet, thermostat, and outdoor-fixture work, Matt for panel diagnostics and quick fixes, Chris for larger jobs finished on the quoted timeline. One reviewer named Jim as the owner and described him personally walking through quotes before anything was booked. The bigger jobs get specific praise too — a full rewire worked around the concrete walls of an older home, and an electrical panel expanded alongside a new EV charger with the wiring run neatly enough that a reviewer contrasted it with electricians who "put wires all over without consideration." That kind of detail, backed by a review history running back to 2007 across eight different sites, is what a thin, recently-boosted profile can't fake. The one place to slow down is price. Both negative reviews in the last six months are cost complaints — one calling a small job "too pricy," another balking at $1,200 for two outlets — and it isn't isolated: a couple of five-star reviewers volunteer that Castle runs "a little on the higher end" even while recommending them. Get a firm number in writing before the crew starts, especially for anything beyond a standard service call. Worth a flag, too: one Google review attached to this listing actually praises a different company, "LT Electric," almost certainly a stray post rather than anything to do with Castle's own work. For a panel upgrade, an EV charger, or an electrical problem other companies have already waved off as too small, Castle Electric's volume and consistency make it a reasonable call — just nail down the estimate first.
