Homeland Electric LLC

Homeland Electric LLC is a small Peabody, MA electrical outfit with a short, clean run of five Google reviews, all from 2025 and all five stars — customers name an electrician called John and describe quick, courteous service. In a February 2025 review, a customer described an emergency call answered on short notice that passed inspection the first time; another from the same month described a fast, courteous outlet replacement. An April 2025 reviewer and a June 2025 reviewer both called the service fast and top-notch. Better Business Bureau currently lists the company with an A grade, though its file for this listing only opened in July 2024. That last detail matters: federal prosecutors say a man named Carpenter, who once owned Homeland Electric LLC when it operated from 2010 to 2015, pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining a $125,000 COVID-relief loan in 2020 by claiming a business that, in the U.S. Attorney's words, "had not existed for approximately five years." A Boston Globe report describes him as facing federal theft charges over it. Public reporting doesn't confirm whether the same person is behind today's Homeland Electric LLC at this Peabody address, but the exact name and location match is worth asking about directly before hiring. Given a five-review pool this thin and a federal fraud case tied to this exact business name, it's worth confirming in writing who currently owns and runs the company, along with quotes, warranties and permits, before booking anything.
