# Russell Sprague Electrician

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 69 Carver Rd, West Wareham, MA 02576, USA · **Phone:** (508) 264-9693 · **Website:** https://spraguerussell.wixsite.com/rspragueelectric · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.8/5** (medium confidence) — from 16 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

Russell Sprague has run this one-person electrical business out of West Wareham for 14 years, according to the Better Business Bureau, which also grades him A+ (though the business isn't BBB-accredited). Every one of the 16 reviews on record, spanning 2021 through this year, is five stars.

The jobs described are varied and specific rather than repetitive: wiring three solar tube skylights with electric baffles while rewiring an entire panel for a portable generator; running new circuitry for a pool installation so clean that, in a 2021 review, the pool installer called it 'the neatest job they have ever seen'; adding a new outlet and sub-panel to support an induction stove after discovering the existing panel was maxed out; and installing ceiling fans, smoke detectors, and Ring cameras and doorbells in a single visit. In a 2022 review, a homeowner working through a post-inspection punch list after moving to Middleboro described him as quick to return the call and thorough on-site.

A theme runs through nearly every review: he responds fast, often the same day, when other electricians didn't call back at all -- one 2023 reviewer wrote 'he actually responded to my inquiry. No one else did'. Reviewers across the five-year span also mention clean, quiet work and pricing that matched the original estimate.

For a one-person shop, this is an unusually deep and consistent paper trail -- there's little here to caution about, mostly just confirming he still has room on the schedule.

**Strengths:**
- Fast response — often same-day, even when others don't call back
- Panel work — sub-panel and generator wiring handled cleanly
- Praised by peers — a pool installer called the wiring the neatest job
- Consistent pricing — quotes matched the final bill
