Hugh was responsive to my request and arrived as scheduled. He was so thorough that he actually found another small electrical issue that was somehow related and included it in the repairs. He didn't have some of the needed parts with him but went out of his way to go to Home Depot to get them so that he could finish the job today. He was friendly, engaging, and took time to explain what he was doing. I would definitely hire him back for any electrical work.

I would highly recommend Hugh. He came at his appointed time gave me a very reasonable estimate and promptly replaced 3 ceiling fixtures the same day. I had a fire alarm that needed replaced and he did that for me at no charge. Thank you Hugh for the professional job.

his years of experience showed .he was very friendly .he was so responsive to come on the same day within 30 minutes. His price point was more than reasonable and most of all I appreciated his willingness to make sure that we will cooled off today on the hottest day so far this year.

Great! For the estimate appointment Mr. McParland called before he was going to be slightly delayed which I found very courteous. While going through the the job that I wanted completed, he suggested things (and why) that I wouldn't have thought of. When he came to do the work, he made sure to double check the way we wanted the box to be hooked up. The amount he quoted was the the final amount charged. He showed up when he was scheduled, he had all the correct pieces, parts and tools and went right to work. He doubled checked that everything was working properly when the work was completed. Both he and his son were very pleasant and professional. Highly recommended!

Hugh was excellent. He suggested a remote for my bedroom dimmer that I didn't know existed, and it is exactly what I wanted. He was prompt, courteous, and cleaned up after himself. He called me back the same day I called him, came the next day for an estimate, and the day after that the work was done. I'm very happy with Hugh and the work he did and will call him again for my electric work.
Description of Work: Hugh replaced a ceiling fan with a new light fixture, changed out a couple of switches and added dimmers, and repaired an outdoor switch that turned itself on in the rain. He also replaced some old grounding wire at my pool pump.

A smoothly as could be. The work was done quickly and professionally, and is of high quality.
Description of Work: I had two external NEMA 14-50 outlets installed, one on each side of my home, to be able to charge my new Tesla Model X. This included moving things in my load center to make room for the two 50Amp breakers, running the wiring in the basement, and the external conduit and outlets themselves.

Everything went very smoothly. Hugh gave me a full estimate for the work, explaining what he'd need to do. The work was completed quickly, including some re-organization of my (nearly full) load center to make room for the two new 50A breakers. The entire time Hugh was very professional and polite.

Perfect, they completed everything quickly to our satisfaction and left the room as clean as they found it. They gave us the total cost before they started the work and the price was very reasonable. Very happy with McParland Electric and we would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone needing an Electrician.

Everything went very smoothly. The installation didn't take long, despite having to move a few things in my nearly full panel to fit the two 50 Amp breakers. Within a few hours everything was up and running and I was charging my car successfully.
Description of Work: I just purchased a Tesla Model X and needed external NEMA 14-50 outlets installed on my home to charge it. I have a driveway on each side of my home, so I had two outlets installed - one for each. Each outlet is connected to its own 50 Amp breaker in my electrical panel.

Very professional and nice guy with an extremely fair price. He was honest about what I needed, and––as a first time homebuyer––he was great about letting me know what could wait or what to reconsider. I will definitely call him again to install exterior lighting and for any future electric needs.

Hugh was great. I called and left a message; he returned the call within an hour. Really clear about pricing and rates. Very personable. He got in touch with the tenants directly to schedule, which was especially convenient. We communicated efficiently by text-message. Billed by invoice. Outstanding experience overall. Would definitely use again. Tenant was very happy, both with the result and with the personal interface.

Hugh did an amazing job. In the middle of a heat wave he removed ancient knob and tube wiring from my just-purchased home's very hot attic so there would be no issue with the insurance inspection which was happening imminently. He was polite and thorough and worked flexibly with me to decide how far to go in the remediation. His price was very reasonable. A few weeks later, due to a serious of communication failures my pool service team did a conversion to salt water but never wired up the power for the salt-water-to-chlorine system. Desperate I reached out to see if Hugh could help me out of the mess. He again dutifully, helpfully and professionally got me out of a bad situation with the converter power wiring, and helped my now green pool get back on the mend. I cannot recommend Hugh highly enough!
