They were professional and prompt. They seemed knowledgeable about what they were doing.
Description of Work: They were dealing with the fact that we had no power to a particular outlet on the outside. There was a circuit breaker problem. The unit was getting wet.

They were working while a plumber was also doing a separate project and managed to work around my interactions with the plumber. They suggested a new light and a store to get it and fixed other things while I made a trip to buy the fixture. I was very pleased with the fixture and the price. They also reinstalled my smoke alarm.
Description of Work: They fixed about six outlets, and installed a new hall light. They also fixed the hall light switch.

Alec, who provided the estimate and led the work on-site, was prompt, professional, and helpful. He provided a written estimate immediately, and the work was completed within two days. In addition to performing the services that we requested, Alec identified a few additional problems that we had not noticed, and he fixed them right away. Their work looks very good, and we have had no problems with the workmanship; highly professional. The crew left a hole in a wall around one of the outlets that they had repaired, and Bill Hyman agreed to send somebody out to repair and paint the drywall for no additional charge.
Description of Work: Upgraded our electrical system and installed a new panel box, converted several non-grounded outlets to grounded outlets, installed and wired several new outlets (interior and exterior, GFI and standard). Also inspected two old light fixtures (without charge) to determine if they were working.

As above, couldn't service my location.
Description of Work: I tried to schedule a service call with this company based on the good reviews. I spoke with Mr. Hyman on Memorial Day (he called me back the same day on a holiday) and he attempted to walk me through some diagnostics which was very nice, but concluded I needed a service call. Unfortunately, he stated he didn't service PG county at all. Its a shame too b/c I'm only 10 minutes away! I appreciated the conversation though.

I had a problem with flickering lights (lamps and ceiling fixtures) in a basement apartment, which is not metered separately from the upstairs unit. We could not replicate the problem, even with turning on lots of appliances in the upstairs unit. The electrician was very thorough and stayed long after investigating both circuit breaker boxes, he even started checking the wall outlets to see if we could find the problem. There were a few minor issues, which he fixed and I hope the problem is solved. If it isn't, I will definitely call them again in the future. They were terrific setting up the appointment (I spoke with Bill Hyman numerous times on the phone), very prompt and very thorough, and also very nice. Oh, and although I didn't get an estimate (it would have been impossible in advance since we didn't know the source of the problem), I was very pleasantly surprised by their prices.
Description of Work: Checked two circuit boxes and numerous wall outlets looking for source of problem, replaced some small parts in outlets, checked and tightened numerous connections in both boxes and outlets.

The owner, William Hyman, answered my phone call -- a pleasant surprise. He was great, asked a lot of questions about the house before even sending anyone out. Alec is the one who came to the house. He was really nice, professional and punctual. He worked with the owner via cell phone and pictures to find the best spot for the new breaker box. Again, the previous owners had done a poor job, so I really appreciated the thought that Alec and the owner put into finding the right box placement, one that solved the immediate problem but that also would work for any future additions to our house. It just showed they cared. The electricians who completed the job were also really nice, very professional and on time. From the top down, everyone seemed to take pride in their craft. I love that. We have some other projects coming up and we'll definitely be calling them back. It'll also be a pleasure to recommend them to friends or anyone else who needs an electrician.
Description of Work: We needed a heavy-up for our row house in Petworth, a new breaker box to remedy some clumsy work done by the previous owner, some outlets/lighting checked and also needed to replace the front porch light and install a digital switch/timer. (A recommendation by the electricians -- can't say enough about it). The entire project was a 1.5 day job.

Very well. Bill Hyman took my call and scheduled a visit for the following day. The technical staff called in advance to indicated approximate time of arrival (which was accurate). They assessed situation quickly and proceeded to identify source of problem within a short period of time. They explained the situation clearly and concisely, and proceeded to complete work quickly. On the basis of this experience, we scheduled a separate visit to conduct routine upgrading of outlets and fixtures in home.
Description of Work: On two separate visits, the company (1) identified source of partial power outage in our home and repaired damaged circuits and connections and (2) replaced outdated outlets and wiring.

Extremely well. I selected this company from Angie's List after reading several favorable reports. As others indicated in their reports, Mr. Hyman responded to my phone call immediately and was very pleasant on the phone. He had a service crew in my area, and we agreed that the work could be done that afternoon. However, he wanted to make sure before he sent them to me, that they had the replacement parts on the truck. A two person crew arrived in the time frame I was given. The lead person suggested a solution to my outdoor lighting switch problems that was great; a hard wired timer in a location that did not disturb old plaster walls. Installation was fast and neat. I was informed of the cost of all work before it was undertaken and prices seemed fair. I would definitely use Hyman Electric again.
Description of Work: Replaced 3 switches in front hall, recommended a solution to outdoor lighting switch which was previously on a photo cell that didn't work, and "fixed" the housing on a down light so that it is secure in the ceiling.
