# National Electric Corporation

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 57 Boston-Providence Turnpike, Norwood, MA 02062 · **Phone:** (888) 344-4632 · **Website:** http://www.natlelec.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 2.7/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 5 sources.

## The honest read

National Electric Corporation has run out of Norwood for 27 years, according to its Better Business Bureau filing, but the handful of reviews sitting online don't describe a single day of electrical work in anyone's home.

Its BBB record is unblemished — an A+ grade, though the company has never sought formal accreditation — and Google shows a 3-star average across just four ratings. The three written reviews all date from 2017 to 2020, and every one of them is about getting paid rather than the work itself: a 2018 reviewer wrote, "we took two work orders in October and have not been paid," and a 2020 reviewer called it "a hassle to get paid." A more forgiving 2017 review still concedes the same pattern — "good people, just have to call to collect but a check is always sent out once I call."

None of what's visible — the BBB profile, the Google reviews, or its scattered directory listings — describes the electrical work itself, so there's no way to judge craftsmanship or service quality from what's out there. What repeats instead is subcontractors having to chase payment on completed jobs.

Anyone considering this company for home electrical work would do well to ask for direct references from residential jobs, since what's public so far speaks to how it pays people who work for it, not to the electrical work.

**Strengths:**
- BBB A+ grade — top marks despite no formal accreditation
- 27 years operating — established business per its BBB filing

**Concerns:**
- Vendor payment delays — subcontractors describe repeated calls to collect
- No craft feedback — reviews don't describe the electrical work itself

**Where sources disagree:**
- BBB shows an A+ grade with no complaints listed, while the same-era Google reviews describe subcontractors chasing payment
