**Rating: 1.8/5** (medium confidence) — from 5 reviews across 4 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

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.

**Strengths:**
- Responsive — answered an emergency call on short notice, passed inspection first try
- Quick repairs — an outlet replacement called fast, efficient and courteous

**Concerns:**
- Federal fraud plea — a past owner pleaded guilty to $125K COVID loan fraud tied to this LLC
- Status conflict — this LLC name was reported defunct 2015–2020; current listing dates to 2024
