Steven M Parker Electric is a one-name operation in Haverhill that's built an unusually deep, unusually clean record — 78 reviews since 2021, every one of them five stars. Recent reviews describe Steven calling ahead of a service visit to talk through the issue and suggest ways to avoid an unnecessary trip charge, and a repeat customer who now has several more projects lined up after being impressed with earlier work on ceiling fans, exterior lights, and a bathroom fan. Its Massachusetts electrician license is active, and its BBB page carries an A+ grade. The specifics run deep and span everything from routine fixture swaps to the kind of work that separates a real electrician from a handyman. In a 2022 review, a homeowner described Steven removing old knob-and-tube wiring from an 1850s house, rewiring appliances, and adding new outlets — work that requires real code knowledge in an older home. In 2024, one customer described a storm ripping the street-to-house wiring and meter assembly off their wall; Steven replaced the damaged components and cleaned up the old equipment. Another 2024 review described him responding the evening a tree took down powerlines and finishing the repair with the inspector the next morning. He's also handled panel consolidations, meter socket replacements, and — in a 2025 review — traced a dishwasher's dead outlet to a switch under the sink that had been off the whole time, then charged nothing for the visit. Two older reviews mention a minor hiccup during a job — a 2024 service panel upgrade that hit a small snag, and a 2024 troubleshooting call that ran longer than expected — but both customers said it didn't change their opinion and called the outcome a job well done. There isn't a genuine complaint among the 78 reviews on file. Steven M Parker Electric fits anything from a simple fixture swap to a full panel upgrade or an older home's rewiring, and plenty of customers keep calling him back for the next project. There's little here to caution against — book with confidence and expect him to walk through the options before starting.
Highly Recommend Steven M. Parker Electric!I had a fantastic experience with Steven. He was friendly, prompt, professional, and clearly values honest service over just making a quick buck. Before he even arrived for the service call, he took the time to call me, discuss the issue, and gave me a few things to check on my own so I could avoid an unnecessary trip charge. Once here, he diagnosed and fixed our exterior outlet issues efficiently. He went above and beyond, taking the time to explain exactly what he found, what needed to be done, and how he was fixing it. He even corrected a reversed connection at no extra charge. Steven is an excellent electrician who embodies good, honest service. I will absolutely be using him again for any future electrical needs!
We had a bunch of projects and Steve came through on all of them: ceiling fan installation, exterior lights, replacement fixtures, a bathroom fan/light, and a lot of consultative help! He shows up when he says he will, answers ALL the questions, and you can tell he really cares about helping his people!
Steve is just the nicest electrician we have ever used. He goes out of his way to explain what the situation is and options to fix it. Very pleased with his work and customer service. Already have several projects lined up for him in the future
Steve is a true professional with extensive electrical knowledge and expertise. Reasonable pricing, excellent communicator and conscientious worker. Highly recommend.
From the first contact with Steven to the finish of the projects we had done, it was a great experience. Steven is very responsive and knowledgeable, gives quotes in a timely manner and does very neat work. We hired him to move a few switches and swap some outdoor lighting. There were a few bumps with the lighting we ordered being a little sketchy (beware off brand internet lighting companies). Steven was great about helping us deal with the issue and getting the best lighting installed for our project. We immediately hired him to do another project to add some interior lights and swap out some receptacles. Everything was completed timely, looks and works great. I highly recommend SMP for a quality electrician and plan on using him for other projects in the future.
