Michael McKenna Electric Inc

We had just moved into our first home and were doing numerous renovations when we called and interviewed Michael  regarding electrical updates we wanted to have done.  Michael was patient, courteous, and very informative as we went over our ideas. He installed numerous wall dimmers, lighting fixtures, and gfi plugs  throughout our home but most impressive was the Renewaire unit he recommended and installed in the basement family room.  It supplies fresh air intake into an area of our home in which we spend a lot of family time and we love the idea that it is now well ventilated and not musty or stale like a lot of basement areas tend to be.  We felt very confident in Michael's work because he is a Master Electrician and has years of experience. He was always on time, worked quickly and very neat in his work.  I would definitely hire Michael again for any electrical needs and recommend him to family and friends.

Michael had previously spent several hours in our new home, discussing with us the well over a dozen projects we wanted completed.  He was extremely thorough, answering all questions, making recommendations that would provide us with what we wanted at the best price point, telling us when ideas we had were either not feasible or not cost effective, and coming up with alternate options.  He also came out on very short notice on one occasion when we realized that outlets needed relocating before a built-in bench could be installed.  Michael is very efficient and conscientious.  He is extremely neat and careful, making sure all newly painted surfaces, furniture, hardwood floors, etc. are protected.  He has installed sconces, repaired and/or replaced low voltage fixtures and low voltage Leviton light switches.  He also installed a very intricate European pendant light in our 20 ft. entryway.  On two visits, it was raining, and there wasn't even a drop of water anywhere, even though he had to make several trips in and out of the house.  Michael is extremely knowledgeable and up-to-date on current electrical codes, and does not take short cuts.  We are absolutely thrilled with his attention to detail and work ethic.  He doesn't waste a minute, just gets the job done, and does it the right way.

On a Friday afternoon in September, 2013, I called Mike McKenna to see if he would replace a GFI outlet in my garage for me. I had kept a postcard/ad he had sent me because it was so professionally done and well-written. I thought I would call him when the next occasion arose. He came at the end of a long workday, after he had finished a job and gone home, and brought the new GFI plug with him. He was polite, was very nice about coming despite the short notice and the very small amount of work I needed, and was driving a clean truck, which is usually a good sign in my experience. We chatted while he removed the faulty GFI plug and installed the new one and he tested it to make sure I had power. I did. I happily wrote him a check for $130 which included labor and the part. His work was neat, thorough, and done correctly and I was impressed by Mike. He is a complete professional with both a Journeyman's license and a Master Electrician's license. And, he is fully insured. His postcard indicates that he is capable of doing all manner of electrical work - rewiring of older homes, stereo, audio and video installation, circuit breakers, update wiring, interior and exterior lighting, store fit-outs, store lighting, landscaping lighting, security systems, pools and spas, just to name some of the kinds of electrical work he is able to perform. He is involved in a total-house rehab near me on Village Avenue in Dedham but was willing to do my very small but necessary job within two hours of my called him. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him for any and all future electrical work. I am so glad I kept the card he had sent me a year ago! He's terrific. He lives in Dedham but does work in all surrounding areas including Brookline and Newton.

Our kitchen hadn't been updated since it was built in 1964. The original wiring was perhaps done in a bit of a hurry. Mike is meticulous and professional. He is knowledgable, thorough, hard working and doesn't take shortcuts. I feel very confident that we now have a safe, up to code, efficient, well-lit and working kitchen.
