Drew McFarland Electrician

Malden homeowners who post on Nextdoor call Drew McFarland Electrician their go-to when something electrical needs fixing, and the pattern in his reviews explains why: he's the guy who works with what's already in the walls instead of pushing a full rewire. The clearest example is a June 2026 review from a customer whose previous electrician couldn't untangle a messy, decades-old wiring setup. Drew solved it in about three hours, working with the existing wiring rather than talking the homeowner into ripping it all out for new Romex, and pointed out other fixes worth doing later without pressuring for them. A few weeks earlier, another reviewer credited him and his crew with replacing a breaker box, installing EV charging, and knocking out several smaller light and outlet fixes in the same visit. On Google he sits at 4.7 stars from 35 ratings, and the last six months haven't produced a single negative review among the three posted there. That's part of a longer run — reviews go back to 2022 across three different sites — though the earlier stretch of that history reads a little less uniformly glowing than the recent run. He also turns up on My Local Services and Pros.Boston, but neither has a single review posted yet; Google is really where his reputation lives right now. He's a reasonable call for a small single-fix job or a bigger panel or EV-charger project, especially if a previous electrician left wiring nobody wants to touch. Worth confirming pricing and timeline directly, since neither is documented anywhere public.
