Lopez Electric

Lopez Electric is a Newton-based electrical contractor that, by its own account, has been doing residential and commercial work in Massachusetts for over 20 years — installations, repairs, lighting control, fire alarm systems, and fiber optic wiring. The company traces its start to the owner spending a decade doing custom-home electrical work and small jobs before noticing homeowners and small businesses were being underserved by electricians chasing bigger projects. Two independent platforms put a number on its reputation: a 4.5-star average across 17 reviews on Birdeye, and a single five-star rating on Google. Several directory listings — LinkedIn, D&B, and a couple of electrician-focused sites — repeat the same Newton address and single out fiber optic installation, fire alarm systems, and lighting control as what the "master electrician" running the shop is known for, beyond routine wiring and repair work. Worth flagging before you call: a "Quality Business Awards" site lists Lopez Electric as a 2026 winner with a "95%+ quality score" — that's a vendor-run recognition badge, not a customer review, so it shouldn't carry much weight. It's also worth a quick question when you reach out: directory listings don't agree on who the master electrician actually is — D&B names Donny Lopez as the contact, while two electrician directories name Eluard Lopez. With review counts still in the teens rather than the hundreds, this reads as a small, established local shop rather than a widely reviewed one. It's a reasonable call if you need fiber optic, fire alarm, or lighting-control work in the Newton area — just confirm who you're actually working with and ask for a couple of direct references given how thin the independent trail still is.
