McKenna Electric is a one-person electrical shop run by Jack McKenna out of 374 Merrimack St in Methuen, Massachusetts. The Better Business Bureau lists the business as a sole proprietorship with a single employee that started on 9/1/1988, giving it roughly 37 years in the trade; the BBB opened its file on the business on 8/19/2016. The trade itself is straightforward: the BBB lists McKenna Electric under electrician services, and that is the work the business presents itself as doing. There is no body of customer commentary to draw on — the BBB profile carries no customer reviews and no complaint count, so nothing is known about how specific jobs went, how pricing was handled, or how the business communicates on a project. Two things are worth confirming directly before hiring. First, the Massachusetts state registry shows electrician licence 3550 as expired, so ask Jack McKenna about the current status of his licence and get the active number before any work is scheduled. Second, the BBB grade is A+ but the business is explicitly not BBB accredited, and the BBB profile publishes no licence numbers of its own — a grade without accreditation or a published licence is not a substitute for checking the registry yourself. For a homeowner who wants a long-established, owner-operated electrician in the Methuen area and is comfortable doing their own verification, McKenna Electric is a reasonable call to make. Confirm the licence is current, ask for proof of insurance, and — because there is no public review history to lean on — ask for references from recent electrical work of a similar size.
