Christopher McGhee Electrician

One electrician, one truck, seventeen years on Cape Cod. Christopher McGhee has run this East Falmouth sole proprietorship since January 2009, and the Better Business Bureau has had it accredited since 2012 at an A+ grade with no complaints and no government actions on file. The work splits between the everyday and the modern. Panel upgrades, fixture repairs, outlets and switches, kitchen and landscape lighting on one side; generators, heat pumps, EV chargers, surge protection and smart-home wiring on the other. The thread running through it is old houses: the company specifically pitches itself at faulty wiring in older homes and rewiring classic Capes to current code, which on this peninsula is most of the housing stock. Two things it says about itself are worth reading as claims rather than facts. It describes itself throughout as a veteran-owned business, and it says Christopher McGhee is a licensed master electrician — a self-report we have not checked against the state Board of State Examiners of Electricians, so ask for the licence number and verify it yourself. It is by appointment only, works Falmouth, Mashpee, Bourne, Hyannis, Osterville and Marstons Mills, and has no published customer reviews anywhere. For a homeowner that means calling ahead, and asking for the addresses of a couple of nearby jobs — with a one-person shop, the schedule and the licence are the two things to pin down before you book.
