MacInnis Electrical Service

MacInnis Electrical Service works out of Middleton and covers the North Shore, and the first thing you notice is how rare a bad word about them is — 52 ratings on Google, every one of them five stars. The company calls itself family-owned, and reviewer after reviewer names the same person, Lance, as the one who shows up and runs the job himself. The last several months of reviews follow a consistent pattern: electricians arrive on time, call ahead when they're en route, and get the job finished in one visit. One customer had a technician recommend a cheaper repair instead of a full replacement, saving them money rather than upselling the bigger job. Another had every switch and outlet in an older home replaced by a crew that arrived fully stocked, skipped the supply-house run, and left with a fair final bill. A full townhouse rewiring and a mid-winter hot tub hookup turn up too, so the calls aren't limited to small stuff. Several customers say they've used the same crew for ten, even twenty-plus years, across more than one property — that kind of repeat business, spanning close to three years of reviews across multiple sources, is hard to fake. Worth asking about directly: the company's own site foregrounds panel upgrades and EV charger installs as its headline services, but the reviews backing up its reputation are mostly about repairs, rewiring, and outlet work rather than big panel jobs — so if a panel upgrade is what you need, confirm they've done one recently. One Google review is also worth flagging: it describes an 11-year relationship in nearby Danvers but names the business "McGinnis Electricians" rather than MacInnis — probably just a spelling slip, but a mismatch worth noting. For a North Shore homeowner with a repair, a rewiring job, or something that feels too small to bother a busy shop with — a stuck extension cord, a hot tub that needs power before winter — this looks like a safe call. Just confirm upfront that whatever you need done is something they've actually handled before, especially if it's a bigger panel job.
