## The honest read

McAvoy Electric is a Plymouth, Massachusetts electrician run by Paul McAvoy, who reviewers describe as personally handling every job himself rather than dispatching a crew. His Google reviews span 2021 through 2025, and the volume and consistency of that record point to a small, word-of-mouth practice rather than a one-off good stretch.

What customers who actually hired him keep coming back to is speed and follow-through: several describe getting a callback and a next-day or same-week appointment even for a small job like swapping a couple of outlets, and one review notes he took over a job the day after a different electrician left the customer waiting. Several reviews also describe a clear process before work even starts — a walkthrough, a written quote (sometimes with photos of the parts involved), and a stated date, time and cost up front — which more than one reviewer contrasts with electricians who never called back at all. He is also credited with untangling faults that weren't obvious, including tracing a home's AC outage to a loose connection on the back of a breaker, and resolving "several electrical issues... some of which were not straightforward." The work itself covers the everyday range a homeowner needs: breaker box and panel replacement, EV charger and Tesla wall-charger installs, generator transfer switches, recessed and dimmer lighting, ceiling fans, and rewiring that includes removing old knob-and-tube wiring. Multiple reviewers single out his pricing as reasonable or fair — one contrasts him directly with a previous "five-star" electrician who never returned a call — and several mention that he leaves the work area clean and hauls away old fixtures and materials rather than leaving them behind.

The reviews on file don't get into pricing structure beyond "fair" and "reasonable," and none mention warranty terms, after-hours emergency availability, or a job at commercial or industrial scale, so anyone with a large, urgent, or non-residential project should confirm those details directly rather than assume them. There is no negative review, complaint, or platform disagreement anywhere in the record reviewed here.

McAvoy Electric is a solid call for homeowners with the kind of job that makes up most of what's reviewed here — panel work, lighting, EV charging, and troubleshooting an intermittent or hard-to-find fault — especially anyone who values a single electrician who shows up when he says he will. Confirm current licensing and insurance, and ask directly about turnaround for anything urgent or larger in scope.

**Strengths:**
- Owner-operator continuity — Paul McAvoy personally performs every job reviewed
- Fast scheduling — same-day to same-week turnaround repeatedly praised
- Wide job range — panels, EV chargers, generators, lighting, and rewiring
- Fair pricing — reviewers repeatedly call rates reasonable or fair
- Careful troubleshooting — untangled non-straightforward faults other electricians missed
- Tidy work habits — reviewers note cleanup and neat installation
