Stella Electric is an electrician based in Lunenburg, Massachusetts. Peter Stella is the registry holder of record for the business's Massachusetts electrician license, 18274. The Better Business Bureau lists the business as accredited with an A+ grade. More than two dozen reviews from 2018 through 2025 describe fast, competent work. In a 2022 Google review, a homeowner described Stella Electric coming out on a Sunday afternoon after a house-wide power failure knocked out the furnace and water heater, and fixing the problem within minutes at what the reviewer called a reasonable fee. A 2020 review described being hired twice to repair external wiring and an electric meter damaged by downed trees, calling the response the fastest of the contractors considered and the price the best. Other reviews from 2018 through 2020 described same-day or within-the-hour arrivals, a 1975 swag light rewired in 15 minutes, and old thermostats replaced with wi-fi programmable thermostats. Some reviews describe serious problems. In a 2021 review, a homeowner said they were quoted $1,500 to remove knob-and-tube wiring ahead of a home sale, had their ceiling fans and lights pulled down on the first day, and then waited two weeks through repeated promised visits that did not happen — a complaint echoed the same week on a second platform. A 2020 review described a bathroom fan taken down for repair that was never returned, and a dispute over the homeowner's follow-up calls. A 2019 review described a job that dragged on for two months for about $900 with little finished work. Homeowners considering Stella Electric may want to confirm current licensing directly: the state registry lists the business's Massachusetts electrician license, 18274, as expired.
