About John P McHugh Electric
John P McHugh Electric has earned its 4.8-star reputation the old-fashioned way: showing up on time, quoting honest prices, and leaving every Charlestown home cleaner than we found it. John and his crew — neighbors know them by name — treat your house like their own, from the first phone call to the final walkthrough. No surprises, no upselling, just meticulous electrical work backed by years of hands-on experience in the Town's oldest neighborhoods.
Charlestown's historic homes demand an electrician who understands what's behind the plaster. We specialize in safely remediating knob-and-tube wiring hidden in 19th-century walls, and we perform full 60A and 100A to 200A service heavy-ups for households that can't keep up with modern demands — heat pumps, EV chargers, and kitchen remodels included. We handle the permits, coordinate with the utility, and pass inspection the first time.
Whether it's designing architectural recessed lighting that respects original ceiling detail, hardwiring an interconnected smoke detector system throughout a multi-family building, or answering a same-week service call, our team brings the same professionalism every time. From the Monument to Sullivan Square, and out to Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Brookline, and Watertown, John P McHugh Electric is the call your neighbors keep recommending.
