# C.S.T. Electric Corporation

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 29 Rockdale Ave, Peabody, MA 01960, USA · **Phone:** (978) 532-1838 · **Website:** https://www.cstelectricco.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.6/5** (medium confidence) — from 6 reviews across 5 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

C.S.T. Electric Corporation is a Peabody electrical contractor run by Chris (Christopher Davis), a Massachusetts Master Electrician who, the company says, worked at several large electric companies before starting the business in Peabody in 2012. Google shows a 4.4★ rating from seven ratings, and the Better Business Bureau lists the company at an A+ grade.

The six reviews on file, all from late 2024, describe a fairly wide range of jobs under Chris's direct hands-on work — a full home renovation praised for creative use of the space, a tenant's electrical outlet repaired with ongoing communication to both landlord and tenant, and one customer who says they've called CST back several times over the years. The recurring notes are a clean job site and a quick response, including one reviewer who reached out in what they called a time of desperate need.

One thing worth flagging: BBB's profile lists the company at 20 years in business, while the company's own site puts its Peabody roots at 2012 — about 14 years — so the two accounts don't quite line up on tenure.

For general residential electrical work — repairs, renovations, panel upgrades — this reads as a solid, hands-on local shop; the self-reported panel-upgrade, landscape-lighting, and EV-charger work is worth asking about directly for anything beyond the basics.

**Strengths:**
- Repeat customer — same electrician used several times over the years
- Range of jobs — outlet repairs to full home renovations

**Where sources disagree:**
- BBB lists 20 years in business; the company's own site puts its Peabody founding at 2012 (about 14 years)
