## Why it ranks here

Swam Electric Co Inc scores 69.7 out of 100, and most of its points come from the Google rating (35.6 of 44.4 possible) and claim accuracy (22.2 of 22.2 possible). It loses the most on years in business, 11.1 of 11.1 points, because its website gives only an approximate founding date, and an approximate date counts 0. It earns no bonus points: we did not find published prices, 24/7 service shown in its Google hours or a written workmanship warranty with a stated term on its website.

## Claims checked

Each statement found on the company's website was compared with records we did not get from the company. The results use three terms only: supported, no independent record, and inconsistent with records.

**Claims on the company's website compared with independent records**

| Claim | Result | What we found | Sources | Score effect | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Founding year | **no independent record** | The earliest independent record we found is from 1996; the company states it was founded in about 1936 (worked out from a number of years), and the records found are not enough to confirm or contradict that (only one kind of record was found; the stated year is approximate; web records cannot show anything about years before 1996). | [claim](http://www.swamelectric.com/about.html); [domain registration (1996-01-12)](https://rdap.verisign.com/com/v1/domain/swamelectric.com) | none | 2026-11-10 |
| Number of locations | **supported** | The site publishes 1 location; we found 1 Google listing for the company (ratio 1.0). | [claim](http://www.swamelectric.com/); [Google listings (1) (2026-11-13)](https://maps.google.com/?cid=9241203779942650436) | none | 2026-11-10 |
