Stoddard Electric is a Hingham electrician run by John Stoddard, who Better Business Bureau records show has been in business under this name for 24 years — though one customer describes using his services for over 30 years total. That long-term customer's 2025 review describes John and his team showing up as promised and handling several small jobs the same day: installing two bathroom exhaust fans from scratch and replacing two outdoor light fixtures, with cleanup after. Another 2025 review calls him easy to work with, a good listener on details, and fast. A brief 2023 review simply called the service awesome. There isn't much more written to draw from beyond these three accounts, though the consistency and the decades-long customer relationship both speak well of him. For smaller residential electrical jobs — fixture and fan installs, quick fixes — Stoddard Electric's reviewers describe a responsive, detail-oriented electrician worth calling.
Excellent work by an exceptional pro. Have used John Stoddard’s services as needed over 30 years. He & his team showed up when they said & got our multiple small issues done same day. Installed (from scratch) 2 bathroom exhaust fans & replaced 2 outdoor light fixtures. They cleaned up after themselves very well! I am SO PLEASED with the work. Reasonable prices.
Excellent, fast service. John is easy to get along with, listens to details and the work is terrific, highly recommend!
Awesome service!!!
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Stoddard Electric. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
