## The honest read

A 2025 customer said Smith & McClain Electrical installed an EV home charger and had it done within an hour, at a price that customer called reasonable. The company says on its website it has 20 years in business.

A 2023 customer wrote of using the company for several building projects: re-installing outdoor lines after storm damage, installing updated fixtures, and running new lines and updating fixtures in a brand-new sugar shack. That 2023 customer said the electrical division also installed an updated outdoor breaker for a new hot tub with no impacts inside the house.

A 2023 reviewer described working with Smith & McClain on several projects over six years, including the gut renovation of a historic building, the construction of a new house and the electrical rewiring of an old barn. A 2023 customer said Colin walked them through a variety of concerns and helped them make informed choices.

On Google it holds 5 stars from 3 ratings, and on Angi and HomeAdvisor 5.0 stars from 6 ratings each.

- An EV charger install — a 2025 customer said it was done within an hour
- A hot tub breaker — a 2023 customer said it caused no impacts inside
