About Us

Count On Ray and His Team

DBA Next Electric Pro brings over 35 years of experience operating as a trusted electrical company in MA & RI. Raymond D. Melanson operates the company as a second-generation, family-owned business with deep roots in the region.

His father served in the Navy before starting his career as an electrician, passing along his valuable lessons to Raymond over the years. Ray started out at the age of 14 with his dad in the electrical trade — it was then that he learned customer service, values, and hard work to continue the legacy.

We hold master licenses across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, in addition to a Massachusetts Home Improvement License.
