Electrical Work in Parsonsfield
Parsonsfield stretches across 60 square miles of hills and forest on York County’s western edge, from Kezar Falls on the Ossipee River down to the New Hampshire line, with about 1,700 residents in five villages. Goodnow Electric, a licensed Maine master electrician (MS60021971), works here on service and panel upgrades, standby generators, EV chargers, rewiring, lighting and emergency calls at any hour. The owner is on site for every job, estimates are free and written, and permits and inspections are handled.
Parsonsfield Homes and Their Wiring
Parsonsfield’s houses run from early farmhouses to recent builds. Census estimates put about 25 percent of its roughly 1,080 homes before 1940, a larger share than in neighboring Cornish, Limerick or Newfield, yet another 25 percent were built since 2000, and the median year built is 1977. About 83 percent are single-family detached houses and about 13 percent are mobile homes, one of the higher shares in York County. Roughly 300 homes are seasonal. For wiring, that range means century-old farmhouses with knob-and-tube and small services, mobile homes on their own service equipment, camps on ponds that were never wired for year-round use, and newer homes that mostly need additions.
Heating, Heat Pumps and EVs in Parsonsfield
Oil heats about 54 percent of occupied Parsonsfield homes, a lower share than in neighboring Cornish or Limerick, with wood at about 17 percent, propane at about 15 percent and electricity near 5 percent, according to Census estimates. Close to 2 percent report solar as their heating fuel, and under 1 percent report utility gas. That mix already leans away from oil, and heat pumps are a natural next step. Each conversion shifts winter heating onto the electric service, and an old farmhouse on a 60- or 100-amp service often needs an upgrade before it can carry heat pumps or an EV charger.
Power Outages and the Grid in Parsonsfield
Central Maine Power serves Parsonsfield, which the state’s utility service map places in CMP’s Alfred service district. The town is heavily wooded, with roughly a fifth of its land in the 8,603-acre Leavitt Plantation Forest, so trees on lines are the main outage risk. Across York County, the April 4, 2024 snowstorm left more than 90,000 of CMP’s nearly 129,000 customers without power, and the October 2017 windstorm caused more than 400,000 outages statewide. Homes on private wells and oil or propane boilers lose both water and heat when the power goes out.
Getting to Know Parsonsfield
Incorporated in 1785 and named for proprietor Thomas Parsons, the town was laid out in 100-acre lots and once ran seven sawmills and seven gristmills. The Kezar Falls Woolen Mill, built in 1880 on the Ossipee River, became its most important business, and the falls also generated electricity for the village. Parsonsfield Seminary in North Parsonsfield taught from 1832 to 1949. The Porter-Parsonsfield Bridge, an 1876 covered bridge over the Ossipee, closed to traffic in 1960 and is on the National Register, along with the 1812 Blazo-Leavitt House and the Old Town House.
Electrical Permits and Inspections in Parsonsfield
Parsonsfield’s code enforcement office issues building, conditional use and driveway permits under the town zoning ordinance, which includes shoreland districts and a Public Water Protection overlay around the public water wells on the Ossipee River. Electrical permits are not among the town’s own permits; they go to the Maine Electricians’ Examining Board, whose inspectors cover York County under the 2026 National Electrical Code for work begun on or after July 1, 2026. Parsonsfield is also a Saco River Corridor town, so land near the Ossipee River may need Corridor Commission review.
