Electrical reviews in Swampscott, Massachusetts

Bill and Nico were extremely prompt, polite and efficient. They re-installed a ceiling fan which was improperly installed by another company. They cleaned job site well. Very pleased.

i called McCurdy Electric to install a smoke detector. They arrived and it took all of 2 seconds for the electrician to look up and say nope thats a heat detector we don't do those. - Then slapped me with a $200 BILL!! sometimes there's just a price of doing business and do the neighborly thing. and been courteous. Be VERY CAREFUL -- they are GREEDY

McCurdy Electric has been incredibly thorough, efficient, and prompt when coming to our home. They always provide solutions and go above and beyond! Couldn’t recommend them enough.

I had some electrical work done in my home. I had the company remove the old cloth wires through out the house and replace it with new wiring. Im very pleased with the work they did and how clean they left the house after they were done. This was my first experience with this company. I will defentely use them again. I highly recommend them.

Thank you JP McCurdy

I'm a Project Manager within the Construction and Facilities industry, and I utilized J.P. McCurdy to Install a UPS battery backup, including the required power receptacles, within a commercial server room for a client facility within Lynn, MA. I was very pleased with their work and professionalism. They are also very responsive which I appreciate. I will call on them again for future projects that I have within this area.

I had a dedicated hot tub circuit with a disconnect switch installed. The service great and reasonably priced. They were very punctual and made everything look great. The office staff was great to work with both for scheduling and follow up. I would recommend them and will use them for any future work I need.

I called J.P. McCurdy Electrical Services on a Monday morning for an issue with an electrical outlet. They sent someone out within three hours and the work was completed within an hour. The electrician took care of someone else’s shoddy work with a high-quality fix. They are fast, efficient and responsive. This is an excellent company to go to for all your residential electrical needs.

We are new to the Swampscott area and we are happy to have found an electrician we can trust! The electricians were on time, friendly, answered all of our questions, quickly installed all of our light fixtures, and the price was very reasonable. We will definitely use J.P. McCurdy Electrical Services, Inc. again in the future!

JP McCurdy Electrical is our go-to electrician! We had new smoke/CO2 detectors installed and a new ceiling fan. The work was completed in a timely fashion and they were immaculate. At one point one of the detectors needed replacing; they came over right away and took care of it.

Enzo did a great job but complained he’s too old to keep running up and down stairs. Then the apprentices took over it seemed. Old Comic books in attic are missing worth over 500.00! They put blue tape everywhere on fake paneling which left its mark when removed. While other electricians had inspectors on the phone, they left me high and dry so to speak after they got their money. Ignored all emails/calls sent there after. Update-almost 2 years later, I got a call from a collector! I never knew I owed this money and when I last spoke to the office ladies, I owed nothing! And they never emailed or called me! After review I paid what was due. Now they say they are finally going forward with the inspection. I will be very happy if all the knob and tube wire is gone! TBA

JP McCurdy does not stand by their work, and their unethical billing practices make them a clear "do not use" for me.

In Dec 2021 Shabeeb and Derek installed a new electrical panel for me, in part to feed an EV charger. Great guys, on time, and Derek went above and beyond to get the job done. I paid $3400 and JP McCurdy's invoice clearly explained they warrantied their work for one year.

In October 2022 I noticed a burning smell coming from the panel. I called JP McCurdy, assuming their warranty would hold. The first electrician sent (who I'll leave unnamed) was incredibly unprofessional. Over five hours, he thoroughly failed to find any issues, repeatedly asked me for help, and finally declared the EV charger to be the root cause of the issue. He left with no progress and the burning smell remained.

After complaining extensively to JP McCurdy, they sent their service manager, Joe, plus another electrician. Joe immediately identified that the issue was a loose connection on the feed line causing arcing in the panel. Here's where my troubles really began. Joe and JP McCurdy claimed that this was "ordinary wear and tear due to electrical vibrations"; told me the warranty did not hold; and charged me $824 to fix the issue after providing NO ESTIMATE and allowing me to believe this would be a warranty repair.

When I called to dispute this charge, I was offered a $100 discount. When I turned this down, I was told JP McCurdy would put me in collections within 10 days if I did not pay promptly. Again, this is a panel they installed 10 months previously. Very convenient to tell me that "wear and tear" caused an issue.

I can guarantee that I'll never use JP McCurdy again, and would warn anyone against working with them. Plenty of electricians out there who stand by their work - sadly, John and his team are not among them.

McCurdy electric recently completed the following electrical upgrades to our 160-year-old house: service upgrade; installation of auxiliary electric heat in three rooms and one bath; replacement and/or removal of knob and tube wiring; replacement of old switches and outlets; installation of new lighting fixtures; and upgrade to code. These activities were accomplished without any interruption to the progress of simultaneously occurring carpentry, plumbing, and painting; nor any loss of comfort or convenience, even though we are living in the house during renovations.
McCurdy Electric’s estimation process is detailed and carefully explains the basis of the estimate.
Scheduling work was easy, cooperative and, quite frankly, a pleasant experience. The same is true of billing discussions.
We were pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of the owner, Jack McCurdy, and his entire staff.
We strongly recommend McCurdy Electric for your next electrical project.

I called McCurdy to assess the lighting in our kitchen. One side had poor lighting. Jack came and knew exactly what we needed. Shebeeb and David came on a scheduled day (on time!) and completed the job so well, it's hard to tell which recessed lights are the new ones. They even washed my floor before they left! They also installed a new plug that was complicated because of the placement over the basement. The job was perfect and we're thrilled.

The most important thing to me with contractors is honesty. And of course, competency, and a fair price. Well, McCurdy passed the test with flying colors for me on all counts. Jack's character (he's the owner) is outstanding--he stands behind the company's work and honors his word 100%, looking to save the customer money if possible, instead of upcharging. He'll give you the straight truth about what's going on and what's needed, at a good price.
I had to have knob and tube electric wiring removed so that we can insulate our house. It's a big job, and McCurdy's workers, led by Joe, were all kind, considerate, and knowledgeable about what they were doing. They even did a significant amount of work that they didn't charge me for. I couldn't be happier with what they did.
Honest, professional, kind--and highly recommended! I'd call them again, and send my friends and family to them in a heartbeat. Finding a trustworthy worker is gold--I'll be saving their number for any future needs.

I used JP McCurdy to install recessed lights in my living room. The ceiling was sloped and very high and Shazeeb and Nico did a great job. They also installed overhead lights in bedrooms and put in a 240-volt outlet for a washer/dryer room. They communicated with me about my preferences throughout the job. Their work was professional and clean. They also patched the holes they made, which some electricians wouldn’t do.

There is one question I always ask myself about employing other tradesmen, "would I employ their services again?" With McCurdy electrical its a resounding YES! Jack, the owner was very responsive in returning my calls and also with his initial site visit to give an estimate for a Three Family Multi-panel Service Upgrade.

He was very professional and patient in explaining what was required, and with the steps that needed to be achieved in order to complete the job! The excellent advice he gave personifies his vast experience in the field. My job involved a lot of tedious circuit identification in a house that had not been updated in this century. It also had exterior fixtures to be updated along with common area upgrades. His experience and advice was priceless in finding cost-efficient ways to bring everything up to code. kudos!

He dealt with all the back-end permit pulling and the Utility communications which relived me of the stress of dealing with those organizations. Jack, kept an open dialogue with me concerning the project and was always checking in about how his employees were doing on site. On this point, his employees were very respectful and responsive and worked tirelessly to get the job done. Their work ethic is second to none and it reflects the the ethos of the McCurdy company.

In short, The McCurdy company came in on budget, completed the scope of work detailed in the itemized estimate and delivered on time. Its a fantastic, accommodating, professional company and I have already lined up the next project for them. Jack, Nice job!

Jp. McCurdy helped me with a bunch of electrical work after. I bought my home, they were very professional and responsive to work with. Shebeeb and Brandon did an excellent. and professional job going above and beyond to ensure the work was done correctly in the best way possible, leaving a professional finish patching the wall where they needed to move an outlet, and cleaning up. 10/10 would recommend.

We live in an old condo in Cambridge where there was zero lighting. It was perpetually dark with our inadequate lamps. Mr. John McCurdy himself came out to give us an estimate to install recessed lights in our ceilings. He was knowledgeable and trustworthy and very experienced. Then the job was easy and smooth. Joe and Brandon came out and did the living room. They made a minimal to no mess, and installed wafer lights. Joe took the time to explain all the options to us, including how we could adjust the light 'color.' The next day, Shebeeb and Nico came and did the kids' room and the big bedroom. They consulted with us on spacing, dimmer switches, and even installed a fan. They were courteous and respectful and did a FABULOUS JOB. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat. The lighting has made a big difference to our quality of life and has been worth the investment.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with J.P. McCurdy Electrical Services. They went well above and beyond on our job. Most meaningful to me is that Jack McCurdy (owner) stood by his word and contract even when more work was required on our job. The electricians working in our home were diligent, thorough, and respectful. (I work from home so this was important.) The head electrician, Joe, was great to work with. He was very patient with us and always took time to answer questions. We were having all of the knob and tube removed from our home, which can be a dirty and require holes in the walls. Joe and the rest of the team did all they could to minimize the holes and mess, and even came up with ingenious ways of accessing difficult to access areas that needed rewiring. Working with McCurdy Electric felt like a godsend after having previously dealt with a dishonest contractor. I would highly recommend this company. I can sleep at night knowing that the knob and tube is definitely gone, and I can finally safely insulate my home. Should we ever need further electrical work done in our home, we will be sure to call them again.

I have been working with JP McCurdy for the past 11 years. They have given exceptional service over this time. I am a single mother and it is not always easy to find craftsman that are willing to take the time to explain issues as McCurdy has done.Not only competent electricians, but have been helpful in giving advice , friendly, and kind in their communication. They are willing to come and give estimates and work with me on what I might need to finish the job that needs to be done.
I highly recommended them to anyone looking for personable and competent electricians.

These guys were great, thank god. After months of trying to find an electrician to do some minor repairs. So I spoke with five different electricians I found in the Lynn area, every one of them showed up to look at the job and give an estimate. the problem was after numerous calls, none of them sent the estimate or returned calls ( I get it everyone is busy but honestly) - So I called an old electrician I used in Lynn many years ago - he had since retired and JP McCurdy now was servicing his customers. Best experience we have had with a contractor - first showed up exactly on time to review the job and told me they were busy - Sent the estimate - when he said he would - so another plus. Than when we called to say we wanted to move forward, the office staff were incredible helpful in coordinating the job. Two guys showed up - on time - very professional and extremely personable. They first discussed Covid protocols - which was a plus - and before they even started asked two questions that I was really impressed with

1. Did we have any pets they needed to be aware of and that could not go outside - which we do have two indoor cats -

2. If we had multiple bathrooms, given Covid was there one we would prefer them to use - (they could use any of the three if they needed to) but the point was, they were two questions that showed they cared about our thoughts.

Anyways - they explained everything they did and were informative - I cannot say enough how impressed we were with them and the estimate was spot on. We will definitely use them again for any and all electrical needs we will have.
