McPhee Electric is the Medford, Massachusetts office of a much larger commercial and industrial electrical contractor that also has locations in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York, operating under the Phalcon group of companies. Its own site describes work at the scale of hospitals, universities, data centers and utility infrastructure, not homeowner jobs, and its Medford office shows seven active projects on Procore's construction network. Trade coverage of the company traces back over a decade: in a 2013 article, McPhee was reported to be well underway on the electrical build-out of Biogen's new Kendall Square headquarters in Cambridge, and that same year its CEO, Michael McPhee, was inducted into the National Electrical Contracting Association's Academy of Electrical Contracting. The company has changed hands more than once — trade press reported Xcelecom's agreement to acquire it, and Phalcon Ltd.'s acquisition of it along with two sister firms in January 2007. There's no customer-review history here — everything on file comes from trade press and directory listings, not homeowners. One item worth knowing about: McPhee Electric was reported to have paid $120,000 to settle a disability-discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Its Massachusetts electrician license, held by Michael E. McPhee, is active per the state registry; the company's own site also lists Connecticut and New Jersey registration numbers, though those haven't been independently verified here. Given the size and scope of its work, this isn't a shop built for a small homeowner electrical job — it's worth confirming upfront whether McPhee takes on residential work at all before calling.
