- Established regional firm — 27 years, recently expanded into Rhode Island
- Unsafe driving report — a 2026 review describes a dangerous traffic incident
McDonald Electrical is a Hingham-based electrical contractor operating at a different scale than most residential shops — founded in 1999 and now run by Michael McDonald and Thomas Cooney, it employs close to 500 people across Massachusetts and Rhode Island (it expanded into Rhode Island in 2025 via the acquisition of ANJ Electric), doing electrical construction, low-voltage systems, and power/utility work mainly for commercial, institutional and property-management clients rather than homeowners. There isn't much of a public record built around residential service: Google shows 3.7 stars from 9 ratings, and a 2026 review specifically complains about being cut off dangerously in traffic by a company driver — a real concern about road conduct, though it says nothing about electrical craftsmanship. BBB has no rating on file despite listing 27 years in business. For a homeowner, the main thing to confirm upfront is whether this company even takes on residential jobs at all, given its stated focus on commercial and institutional work.

Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
