# Wheeler & Son Electric, Co.

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 23 Green St, Melrose, MA 02176, USA · **Phone:** (781) 662-1800 · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 2.9/5** (low confidence) — from 1 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

Wheeler & Son Electric has operated in Melrose since 1996, per its Better Business Bureau file, with about four employees. The BBB profile, opened in 2018, isn't accredited and carries no rating — BBB says it lacks enough information to grade the company, and no complaints or customer reviews are on file there.

There isn't much public record of the actual electrical work. Google shows a 5-star average across its two ratings, but only one comes with any written text, and that review isn't about a job at all — it's a passerby thanking a family member for stopping to help fix a flat tire on the highway.

With so little to go on about the work itself, it's worth asking directly for references or recent job examples before hiring.
