Boston’s Trusted Electrical Partner

McFarlane Electric
McFarlane Electrical Services is a licensed electrical contractor serving Boston and Greater Boston — built to handle everything from a single tripped breaker to the ongoing electrical needs of a multi-unit building. Derek holds Journeyman Electrician status, is licensed and insured, and runs the business as an LLC. Whatever the job, the standard doesn’t change: show up, diagnose it right, fix it once.
That standard runs across everything the business takes on — service upgrades and panel work, emergency calls, lighting and retrofits, generator hookups, HVAC-related electrical, and the day-to-day maintenance that keeps multi-unit buildings running. Same electrician, same standards, whether the job is one outlet or an entire building’s panel.
