# Belden Electric **Trade:** Electrical · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.4/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 2 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Belden Electric is a small Malden electrician built around one guy, Sajid Belden, who's been at it for 14 years with a three-person crew. Thumbtack is where the business's whole written track record lives, and it's about as clean as it gets: 30 ratings, every one of them five stars, and a Top Pro badge from 2023. What comes through in the reviews isn't just praise — it's specifics. In a 2023 review, one homeowner described how, before agreeing to the job, Sajid tried troubleshooting the issue over the phone and gathered more information about what might be wrong, then walked the customer through the fix step by step once he arrived. In another 2023 review, a customer noted he'd been hired just to hang fans but ended up diagnosing and correcting separate wiring issues while he was there. A third, also from 2023, described how he installed a Nest thermostat with three wires after an HVAC technician said it needed four, then traced a fireplace circuit that kept tripping to the wrong breaker and swapped it in — inside ten minutes. The work itself is everyday residential electrical: outlet and switch installs and repairs, wiring, lighting and ceiling fan hookups, and breaker panel work, which lines up with what Thumbtack lists as his services and the 34 projects shown there. Thumbtack's own profile also notes a journeyman electrical license, though that's the directory's own listing rather than anything verified against a state board. The one thing worth flagging before calling: every detailed account on file dates to 2023, so there's nothing more recent to go on for how the business is running today. For a straightforward repair, fixture swap, or fan or light install around Malden, the reviews point to someone who explains what he's doing and doesn't leave a job half-diagnosed — just confirm current pricing and availability before booking. **Strengths:** - Responsive and on time — reviewers cite quick replies and punctuality - Diagnoses beyond the job — caught wiring issues during a fan install - Perfect Thumbtack record — 30 ratings, all five stars - Fair pricing — a reviewer praised the value on outlet work **Concerns:** - Reviews are dated — the detailed accounts on file are all from 2023 ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The rating reflects five detailed 2023 Thumbtack reviews, all five stars, alongside the platform's own 5.0-star average across 30 ratings. _(confidence: high)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/malden/electrical-repairs/belden-electric/service/379865143638097921) — “Sajid was extremely professional.
