Questions
Is there a real difference between the top three electricians?
Barely. Symmetry leads Campbell and Brother's by less than 0.01 points, a gap that comes only from 26 or 27 extra reviews. Choosing among them on quote, timing and job fit is reasonable.
Why is a perfect 5.0 rating scored 4.97?
Every score blends in the Ottawa-area average of 4.72. Symmetry's 224 reviews give it 88% confidence, so the remaining 12% of its score comes from that average.
Why are some electricians missing?
Many listings had under 10 reviews, below the minimum to be ranked. Lists refresh every 90 days, so they could qualify later.
