MacInnis Electrical is a family-owned shop on Massachusetts' North Shore, and the 39 Google reviews on file paint a consistent picture: this is the electrician people keep calling back, some for 20 years running. The name that comes up in nearly every review is Lance — he and his crew are credited with everything from panel work and rewiring to smaller service calls, and reviewer after reviewer describes using them "exclusively" or as their "go-to guys." The track record spans emergency-sized and routine work alike. One recent review from a family that hired them to replace every switch and plug in an older home describes a crew that showed up with all the materials needed, never left for supply runs, and handed over a bill the customer called fair for the time spent. Another recent review credits the team with rewiring a townhouse, and a third describes them adding electrical work for a new pool and back deck. One customer specifically called out a technician who suggested a cheaper repair over a full replacement — and says it's held up with no issues since. In a 2023 review, a customer mentioned having them install the electrical feed for a new gas fireplace. Beyond the specific jobs, a clear pattern holds across the reviews: technicians who show up on time, clean up after themselves, explain the work in plain language, and communicate proactively. Several reviewers describe multi-year relationships — one couple says they've used the company since buying their home more than a decade ago, another says 20-plus years — which lines up with the company's own description of itself as family-owned and focused on panel replacement, electrical repair, and EV charger installs. Before booking: for anything beyond a small service call, get a written scope and price, the way the longtime customers here describe doing.

Happy with the work they did
Lance and his team did fantastic work on my project. Prompt replies in extremely reliable appointment as well. Would recommend anybody.
In all respects, I was thoroughly pleased with MacInnis Electrical!
Both electricians came on time. They were very efficient, quick, professional and neat. All the things I look for in a contractor. Great job !
Came out promptly for an electrical consult. Haven't had the work done yet, so I'll have to further update
