They were so pleasant, professional, worked quickly and neatly. They took the old fan apart and put it in the trash bin for me. When they left there was no evidence they had even been here except for my beautiful fan. I will absolutely use them for any future electrical work.
Description of Work: I needed a ceiling fan/light fixture replaced in a bedroom. Based on other reviews on Angies List, I called Hill Electric. T hey gave me an estimate of the cost on the phone. When I got the fan and called they were able to schedule installation for the next day. Later that day they called as they had finished up another job earlier then expected, and asked if I wanted the work done that day, which I did!

He responded to my telephone call the same day & fit me in between other service appointments on what probably would have been his lunch. He completed the project quickly & without problems, & made me feel very comfortable with him being in & out of my house. I plan to use him again for interior decorative lighting & already referred him to my neighbor who used his services as well.
Description of Work: Todd & colleague installed outdoor security lighting with sensors & timers.

At first my lights were flickering in one part of my house. The trouble would sometimes go away for as much as a week. Mr. Hill ran some tests, but did not find any problems. Gradually the problem got worse, more frequent, more severe, and affecting more of the house. Mr. Hill made several trips to my house, but due to the intermittent nature of the trouble, he was never able to definitively locate the source of the problem. Eventually I lost power almost completely. My friend (who is an electrician) took a look, and found the source of the problem. Fortunately, I haave had no trouble since.
Description of Work: I had intermittent electrical power. Mr. Hill was always very prompt and courteous, but failed to find the problem. An electrician friend was able to repair the problem in short order. To be fair, by the time my friend looked at it the power was out completely, and no longer intermittent. Mr. Hill's repairs included the replacement of a proximity sensor light.

I was uncomfortable with his approach to the solution but wanted the issue resolved so asked him to move forward. After about an hour Todd came to the door as he said they were finished. I plugged in my outdoor lights into the GFI and they did not work. Todd said they had tested. He then explained what they really should have done was more involved. I asked him to at least make it work and I would call another company to finish the job. He did not charge for the work, but I have to schedule someone else to do the job that should have been done correctly the first time. I'm extremely disappointed with them.
Description of Work: Todd came out with his electrician to work on a exterior GFI problem.

Todd and Benji showed up right on time and were very pleasant to deal with. They got right to work and resolved most of my electrical issues within a couple of hours. I highly recommend Todd and his team.
Description of Work: Todd and Benji did some troubleshooting regarding why certain switches in the kitchen weren't operating properly. They then replaced multiple outlets that were not holding plugs tightly and fixed an inoperable front light switch. There were requests they didn't have time to complete today so we scheduled them to come back for a second visit.

Hill Electric Inc gets A's across the board from me. I am always adding a fan or something and Hill is absolutely the best. They installed a bathroom fan, a ceiling fan and an exhaust fan and three outside motion lights. It was done the end of January beginning of February. He's very polite, he is very prompt, if you call he gets back to you right away. He is very clean, they put booties on their feet. He's just a nice man, he's trustworthy, I feel comfortable with him in my home. I am a repeat customer and I would recommend him to anybody.
Description of Work: They installed a bathroom fan, a ceiling fan and an exhaust fan. He installed a motion sensor light, it's outside.

In a word, the membership fees for Annie's List were more than repaid using Todd Hill. I called him Monday. He answered his phone. He was as courteous and as professional handling my call and setting an appointment as any professional I have dealth with. He came out exactly as scheduled on Tuesday, the very next day. His honesty, courtesy, and straightforward dealing with his customers is abundantly evident. His work was done by him and his assistant, and they were in and out with precision, no fuss, no mess. The work done was clean and neat and all functions perfectly now. He gave the Mrs. a good amount of info as to replacing faulty circuit breakers and bathroom exhaust fan. I will use Todd Hill as long as he is in business. He is honest, delivers good work at a fair price, and moreover stands out far above the guys who never get back to you and don't show up on time. The ratings I read that all gave him As were totally correct. Makes one wonder why they aren't all like Todd Hill.
Description of Work: Fix inoperative fluorescent MBR light; replaced two outside covered outlets; provided scope and estimate to rewire faulty circuit breaker and bathroom exhaust fan.

Hill Electric did excellent work. Todd and his assistant were prompt, efficient and knowledgeable. Other contractors had told me significant work (including punching through my ceilings) would be required to remedy some of the problems. Hill Electric found all problems involved wiring or fixture repairs that could be done easily and at reasonable cost.
Description of Work: Diagnosed problems and made repairs involving multiple recessed ceiling lights.

From beginning to end, the service could not have gone better. Todd quickly and efficiently took care of the problem, replacing the faulty breaker and performed a safety check. I'll be using Hill Electric for any future electrical needs for my house.
Description of Work: One of our breaker switches malfunctioned over the weekend. I called Hill Electric first thing this morning and spoke with Todd, who was fully booked, but was able to find some time between calls to take care of my problem early this afternoon.

Left a message around lunchtime. 2-3 hours later had not received a call back. So I called one more time, and received voice-mail. In this economy, you'd better have someone (wife, daughter, high school kid on break... someone) able to take a call and return a call. There is no excuse. There is too much competition out there and too many people hurting for work. Sorry we were unable to do business, but how can you be in the no. 1 position on Angie's List and not even return a call within a few hours?

Response from Hill Electric Inc
We spoke that day and it was nice to talk with you...On your telephone message your name was left, but incorrect number. Fortunately you called again & I saved you a service call by telling you how to find the GFI and re-set it to restore power to your exterior outlets. Glad you called back so we could help you. Call us again anytime.

We had a dimmer switch go out in our dining room on Sunday evening. I called first thing Monday morning and got voice mail at Hill Electric and a return call within 15 minutes. Mr. Hill and an associate were at our home within 20 minutes - great response! The service, promptness and professionalism all exceeded my expectations. And - the cost was the lowest I have ever paid an electrician for even small jobs! These two men are just the nicest guys, and we will definitely call them again if we need an electrician!
Description of Work: They removed the old switch and provided and installed a new switch. They also rewired the kitchen light / fan combo and replaced the switch. They replaced a light bulb in a very high light in our atrium.
