# Stoddard Electric

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 51 Hobart St, Hingham, MA 02043, USA · **Phone:** (781) 749-9749 · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.6/5** (low confidence) — from 3 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.

## The honest read

Stoddard Electric is John Stoddard's Hingham electrical shop, with a customer base that stretches back decades — its BBB profile confirms 24 years in business under his name.

The handful of reviews on file, from 2023 through last year, are all five stars and describe small, practical jobs done well: installing two bathroom exhaust fans from scratch, swapping two outdoor light fixtures, and clearing several unrelated small issues in a single same-day visit. In a 2025 review, one customer said they'd used Stoddard's services on and off for 30 years.

The written record here is thin — three reviews — and the BBB listing carries no accreditation or star rating, though it also shows no complaints. Worth asking directly about current pricing and availability given how little recent public feedback exists.

**Strengths:**
- Same-day fixes — multiple small jobs handled in one visit
- Long-standing customers — one used the business over 30 years
