Cape Cod Electrical

Cape Cod Electrical works out of Marstons Mills, handling residential and small commercial electrical work across the Cape — wiring, panel upgrades, lighting, EV chargers and mini splits — but generators are what people call them for most, especially with the Cape's storms. Nick McElroy, who says he became a journeyman electrician at 22 and a master electrician at 24, started the company in 2016 and still runs it as owner and master electrician. The reviews keep landing on the same kind of call: the power's out, a generator won't start, and Cape Cod Electrical gets there fast. One homeowner described losing a generator during a blizzard, getting no answer from the company that originally sold it, then reaching Cape Cod Electrical's Lynn on the phone and having someone out within days. Another, in a March 2026 review, told a similar story after their own generator failed overnight in a storm. Reviewers across 2026 describe full panel upgrades to 200 amps with a new meter and an EV charger added in a garage, and generator installs handled with permits and other trades coordinated, finishing on time and on budget. Several customers have used the company repeatedly — one June 2026 review said it was their third time calling Cape Cod Electrical for all their electrical needs — and reviewers describe Nick personally visiting to plan a generator and deck lighting job before it started. The company's Massachusetts electrician license is active, held by Nick McElroy; its own site separately lists an electrical contractor registration number, 670-A1. The one account that stands apart is more recent: a June 2026 review said a $14,000 generator installed the previous fall was never hooked up despite repeated calls, with the reviewer pointing to a miscommunication involving their builder. Almost nothing else in the reviews looks like it — the Google and Angi averages stay at 5.0 stars, and the Better Business Bureau grades the company A+ — but on any job that involves a builder or other trades, get a firm date for the final hookup in writing. For a Cape homeowner leaning on backup power through storm season, or needing a panel, EV charger or mini split installed by a licensed electrician, this is a strong call — just nail down the hookup timeline up front if a builder or other contractor is part of the job.
