This is the second time I have used Hilton for a project, and the project went well. Their employees are courteous and clean up after the project is complete. I am pleased with the outcome.
Description of Work: They installed two outdoor floodlights and two switches.

We contacted Hilton Electric immediately. Even though they were closing early for the holiday, Orrin sent an employee to assess the damage and advise on the necessary supplies for repair. Orrin and Dwayne fixed the riser before Duke Energy showed up. The dedication of both Orrin and Dwayne would not allow us to be without heat or electricity over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Description of Work: We had an emergency situation on Thanksgiving Eve when a tree fell on our power line. The riser feed to the house bent in half.

The technician showed up right on time and then covered every imaginable surface with plastic sheeting before starting the work. He verified placement with me twice before cutting any holes, and was very quick, in and out in about 1.5 hrs. Very courteous, clean and professional!

All work was done in 1 1/2 days. Which they estimated 2-3 days. Though of four estimates I received, this company was about the highest, Mr. Hilton and his crew were very professional and did a great job! The County inspector said the work done (inside, outside and under the house was excellent, especially where they grouped all the wires together and stapled/attached wires under the house to make everything neat). The inspection of course, Passed. They do have to come back to remove the old electrical box and meter housing, once Duke Power moves the electrical line to it's permanent location. I would definitely recommend this company.
Description of Work: House is 1957 ranch, with original electrical boxes. Work started on 10/09/06. On that first day, Mr. Hilton came with two electricians. He went over everything that was going to be done and to make sure he answered all my questions. Then his crew went to work and replaced both the main electrical box outside and the secondary box inside the house (with room for future expansion). Relocated the outside box and meter to opposite side of the house, as well as upgraded to 220V with new meter. On the second day, the same two men arrived on time. They uplifted the kitchen with four separate circuits (only had one before) and added four GFI outlets. Added GFI outlets in each bathroom (2), where there were no outlets before. Prior to leaving they cleaned up any mess they made, tested all circuits and outlets throughout the house and labeled all breakers in the new boxes. They then went over everything with me before and answered any remaining questions I had.

The service person was prompt and courteous and was able to quickly determine the source of the problem due to ants had chewed through insulation at the back of the wall switch. I was a little surprised by the cost of the repair, their usual minimum is over $100, although we were able to negotiate a somewhat lower fee. Not sure I would use them again for a minor repair of this sort.

My husband and I were very pleased! We now have an oven and the condo is more like a home. Orginal builders were going to charge us $5,000 to add in a oven as an upgrade so we passed and waited almost 3 years to have one put in. This is a built in unit unlike our neighbors who have free standing ranges that roll-in. We plan on using Hilton Electric when we move, as we are going to buy an older home and upgrade the kitchen! Hilton's office staff was great about making appointments around our busy schedule and treated us like we were a big job even though we weren't.
Description of Work: We lived in an uptown townhome that only had a stovetop and microwave/convention, there was no oven to bake in. Mr. Hilton himself came out to give the estimate and evaluate the work that needed to be done. He was on time, professional and made this first time home buyer feel at ease. His team had to run another line and add into my breaker box. They had to cut 4 holes in the basement ceiling to fish down the line into the breaker box. My new oven looks great and was undermounted beneath the existing smooth top range. I had to hire a cabinet guy to remove the existing cabinets prior to Hilton's team and then hired a drywall guy to patch the holes after installation. TOTAL job:- Cabinets, Electric and Drywall $580.00 + Cost of oven $1000=$1500

Mr. Hilton came out to take a look of the work I needed and gave me an estimate. He was very professional and most personable. The company is small and stays very busy and I was willing to work with him on the time factor and he was most fair on his estimate. The young men who came out to do the work came right in and started working, and cleaned up when they were through. I have been very pleased with the work that was done at my home and would most definitely recommend this company.
Description of Work: The power service from the utility pole to our house burned through the neutral line causing a power surge into our house. We had some burned out lights and ceiling fans to be replaced. Also needed a bath exhaust fan installed and some exterior flood lights installed as well as a thorough check of all our electrical service for safety and peace of mind.

Awesome company! I would highly recommend them and we will definitely use them again for any electrical needs. Because our job was relatively small, they were able to work us into their schedule the day after they came by to give us a quote on the work. The two guys who came (jason and I cannot remember the other guy's name) were professional and worked quickly to completely the work. We are very pleased.
Description of Work: Replace 6 outdoor ground level lights with lights we provided. Replaced 1 light fixture in the house, furnished, wired and installed one receptacle for microwave on one new circuit.

My husband and I needed an electrician to do some work. I call Hilton and left a message. I received a return call the next day and spoke with a lady regarding our needs. She indicated an on-site quote was needed and tried to schedule an appointment. There were no ''estimate'' appts available for the days in the next 2 week period that would work for me. The lady I spoke with indicated she would speak to the owner and get back with me the next day to see if he could accommodate the days that would work for me (I offered 3 options). 3 days later, I finally called them back. I spoke to the same lady (who had no recollection of our conversation). She put me on hold to ask the question to the owner at that time. Unfortunately, the response was they only do estimates on Tues and Thurs and are NOT flexible about that. From the other comments, they appear to do a good job, however YOU must be flexible to meet their schedule, they do not appear to be very responsive to customer's schedules.

They've got a bunch of employees and some are better than others- some of them need more oversight than others. The owner, Orren Hilton, does come out and provide some personal oversight. We will use them again.
Description of Work: They did a lot of work in our kitchen, putting in 8 or 9 embedded lights in the ceiling, under counter lights, outlets underneath cabinets and at the end of the bar. They also put in some new circuits for a new refrigerator and oven and put in some new switches.

HILTON SENT 2 WORKERS OVER TO MY HOME AND BOTH WERE EXCELLENT--VERY PROFESSIONAL, THOROUGH, AND TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN WHAT THEY WERE DOING. ONE EVEN RAN TO THE HARDWARE STORE WITHOUT BEING ASKED, TO PURCHASE A PART THAT I WAS MISSING ON ONE OF MY LIGHT FIXTURES. MELANIE AT THEIR OFFICE WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH AS WELL, AND THEIR FINAL PRICE WAS LESS THAN BOTH ESTIMATES I WAS GIVEN. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AND WON'T HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THEM OR CALL ON THEM AGAIN WHEN WE NEED ELECTRICAL WORK DONE. I CAN SEE WHY THEY HAVE WON ANGIE'S LIST SERVICE AWARDS FOR SO MANY YEARS.

FROM INQUIRY, THROUGH PHONE ESTIMATE, SCHEDULING AND COMPLETION OF WORK, ALL PEOPLE CONTACTED AT HILTON WERE FRIENDLY, INFORMATIVE AND ACCESSIBLE. THE TWO MEN WHO ACTUALLY DID THE WORK DID SO ON ONE OF OUR HOTTEST SUMMER DAYS, WITHOUT COMPLAINT - AND THIS INCLUDED GOING INTO THE ATTIC FOR WIRING. EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETED IN 5 1/2 HOURS, AND ALL DEBRIS (BOXES, OLD FIXTURES ETC.) WAS CLEANED UP AND/OR CARTED AWAY. WE WOULD DEFINITELY USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN.
