**Rating: 3.1/5** (medium confidence) — from 10 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.
70% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 2 reviews, 2 negative.

## The honest read

Campbell Electric is a Braintree fire-alarm and electrical contractor that says it has served Greater Boston and Eastern Massachusetts commercial and residential customers for more than 40 years, and its non-accredited Better Business Bureau page carries an A+ grade. Its older written record backs that longevity: in reviews from 2021 through early 2025, property managers and homeowners praised the company by name — a 2025 review from a property-management client credits Barbara, Paul, and the crew with quality work and great follow-through across everything from luxury properties to mid-range rentals, and a 2024 review says Campbell always answers the phone for tenant emergencies, even after regular hours.

That contrasts sharply with what showed up on Google more recently. Two 1-star reviews from April and June 2026 describe rude, disrespectful treatment — one calls the owner rude outright, the other says older staff members are rude and extremely disrespectful while newer hires are polite but unlikely to stick around under that management. Two other 2025 reviews read more like reactions to something the company posted online (one sarcastic about its advertising, one a political show of support) than accounts of actual electrical work.

Campbell's decades of commercial and emergency work speak for themselves, but the recent complaints about how staff and ownership treat customers are worth asking about directly before booking a job.

**Strengths:**
- Property-manager trusted — praised for quality work and follow-through
- After-hours response — answers calls for tenant emergencies

**Concerns:**
- Recent rudeness — 2026 reviews describe disrespectful staff and owner

**Where sources disagree:**
- Reviews from 2021–2025 describe attentive, professional service, while two 2026 reviews describe rude and disrespectful treatment — a sharp shift in the written record
