I did extensive research with three providers prior to signing up with McClelland. Mike came out to look around, and from the very beginning had a handle on details for this project that was beyond that of the others. He was 30% lower than other providers, and delivered a quality installation in less than a week. We couldn't be more pleased. They'll be back to do a couple of other minor projects before the summer is over.

In short, it was a nightmare, and I was glad to get them out of my house. They left debris on the job site; never came back when they said they would to finish the job; left all, as in 100%, of the outlets uncovered (and never came back to cover them, despite repeated calls); hooked up my washer and dryer in an illegal way by attaching a power strip to my basement wall....but the real nightmare, however, has come 7 years later, which is why I'm writing this now.
I did not want to badmouth them 7 years ago, as they are a small, local business, and so never went on another site to share my displeasure. But I didn't know then what I just discovered now.
I'm trying to sell my home, and a potential buyer's home inspection found knob and tube wiring throughout the entire house. McClelland simply wired up all of my new fixtures, chandelier, ceiling fan, lighting fixtures, and outlets throughout the home - to the old knob and tube. The only new wiring they did was for new 3-pronged outlets that I requested for an AC, and for the kitchen appliances.
This was a 1927, fixer-upper house I had just purchased. They tore the walls apart and did extensive wiring throughout the home.
Would this not have been the perfect time to inform me that I had knob and tube wiring - when I wasn't living in the house - and when walls were already open, and the entire house was under renovation with a painter and plasterer right there on the premises?
No, because they elected to do the work the laziest possible way.
I cannot now sell my home. A potential buyer's home inspection found the problem, and I must now disclose it to all. One buyer, from whom I had an offer, walked away from the deal.
Thanks, McClelland Electric, for not only doing the work you did do in an utterly lazy, semi-competent fashion. Thanks for ruining my finances, and killing a house deal. The real thanks is from the next electrician who has to break through my walls throughout the house, and redo all of your shoddy work for thousands and thousands of dollars at my expense.

The outdoor spotlight stopped working, the circuit breaker was fine. First I replaced the light, that wasn't the problem, so I replaced the fixture and that wasn't the problem either. Then I tested the outdoor outlet and there was no power. I called McClelland and a technician came out the next day and replaced the GFI outlet in about 1/2 hour. I haven't needed to call an electrician in a long time so I don't know if the price was high, I have assumed it was market. I have also used this company for its shop to repair/rewire lamps and have been pleased.

Our house is an old one. It needed a lot of renovation. He did a lot rewiring. I called him to put recess lights in a couple of rooms. He put up some wall consoles, a ceiling fan and wireless switches for us. He fixed a wire on his last visit. He is responsive. He comes quickly. He is trustworthy and serviceable. He comes regularly and does a lot of electrical jobs for us.

Absolutely great. Mike was fast from estimate to completion. He was VERY professional, very clear on what work would be done, and what was going to be required for code beyond my initial scope. When I asked to add scope to the project Mike was very clear what the additions would cost and was right on when the final bill arrived. His wiring is immaculate, every old wire that wasn't fully removed is wrapped and secure. Mike and crew were easy to work with, and even waited patiently while I made changes to plans and framed in new walls. They were prompt, fast and especially, very nice guys. I'll use them for any other electrical needs I have in the future. Great experience.

Besides Angie's List, our neighbor recommended them to us. The price was reasonable for our job, it wasn't a major thing. They were very nice and polite. They answered all our questions.

They are very good, they are very dependable, they are very honest, they have very good craftsmanship, they did install a ceiling fan that fell once and they replaced it for no cost. The price varies upon the job.

We were really glad we relied on this man and his company for our electrical needs. We live in a home that dates back to the early 20 s so there were a great many things we needed done in order to bring the home up to code. He practically rewired the entire home, carefully ensuring it would be safe and ready for us when we moved in. He is an excellent businessman and contractor and I highly recommend him.
