# Bishop Electric **Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 127 Grafton St, Shrewsbury, MA 01545 · **Phone:** (508) 769-5970 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.4/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 3 sources. ## The honest read Bishop Electric is a Shrewsbury electrical contractor at 127 Grafton St, led by owner Ernie Bishop. The Massachusetts registry lists active electrician license 1247 for Bishop Electric Co.; BBB identifies the business as an electrician but says it is not accredited and is not rated. The written customer record is small and dated, with three Google reviews from 2019–2020 and a Google headline of 4.8 stars from six ratings. In a June 2019 review, a homeowner described smoke-detector troubleshooting during a home sale, quick correction, short-notice availability, and a reasonable fee; July 2020 praise cited professional, on-time work, and an August 2020 review called Ernie knowledgeable and quick to respond. Before booking, confirm current availability, scope, pricing, and the license holder/entity on the quote. The available written reviews are several years old, so ask for current references or recent project details for the specific electrical work needed. **Strengths:** - Technical knowledge — reviewer called Ernie knowledgeable and quick to respond - On-time work — 2020 review praised professional, punctual service - Short-notice help — 2019 review described timely smoke-detector correction **Concerns:** - Review recency — all three written reviews date from 2019–2020 - License entity — confirm the quote matches the registry holder Bishop Electric Co **Where sources disagree:** - Google's 4.8 headline covers six ratings, while only three dated written reviews were available; BBB is not rated. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The Massachusetts registry lists active electrician license 1247 for Bishop Electric Co. _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://elicensing21.mass.gov/CitizenAccess/GeneralProperty/PropertyLookUp.aspx?isLicensee=Y&TabName=Home) — “MA electrician license 1247 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: BISHOP ELECTRIC CO” - Google shows 4.8 stars from six ratings, while the written record contains three dated reviews from 2019 to 2020. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Bishop%20Electric&query_place_id=ChIJD_qArLUJ5IkR3mWTTLbcjY4) — “Google: 4.8★ from 6 ratings” - [Google Reviews](https://maps.google.com/?cid=10272109000628856286&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “5★ This company is awesome.
