This business was started by Michael Hession back in 1969. He is currently retired & his son Brendan Hession is the owner & licensed electrician. He is the one who provides the estimates & does electrical work. We have another electrician who does a lot of our service calls his name is Richard Roman. We do general electric work for both residential & commercial customers. We will provide service for small jobs as well as bigger re-wiring jobs. We are licensed with the state of New York in Albany county & also do work in the surrounding counties of Rensselaer, Schenectady, Saratoga, Warren, Green, Columbia. We charge $107 for a service call or any small job that takes an hour or less plus materials. We charge $72 an hour for jobs over an hour long plus materials. We are a small business with 2 electricans. We can not guarentee emergency service after hours because of our small staff but if someone is available we may be able to help you. We generally do not work on the weekends but we can schedule work for the weekend ahead of time if need be.

The worker arrived promptly, was professional and friendly, threw in some free parts that we didn't have. I would use them again.
Description of Work: We had a very good experience with Hession last week. Our experience was not with the owner but with one their long-time guys. He was able to fit us in on the same day we called, to replace a light switch with a short. We still haven't received a bill so I'm not sure the exact price but I expect it will be in their basic 1 hour service call cost range.

We found them on Angie's List. We called a couple of companies and they were the first to return our call. We talked to them early in the morning and we had someone out to do the work first thing in the morning. The electrician that they sent out was very nice and very professional. He did the job very quickly and very well. We were very pleased with them all around.
Description of Work: We have used the services of Hession Electric Incorporated two months ago for fixing an electrical issue.

It went very well. He is great.
Description of Work: He installed the cable wire for my family room. He ran the wire from the basement into the wall by drilling into the wall. The cable company noted that Hession installed very high quality cable into my home. He also fixed a few light switches that were installed improperly by my previous contractor. He also installed a carbon monoxide detector on a continuous circuit.

He arrived right on time, discussed the job, suggested improvements to my job concept, estimated time needed and left to get parts. He returned in about 45 minutes and finished in about 2 and a half hours. He was polite and thoroughly professional, cleaned up well, and explained everything he had done. He pointed out all the new boxes and lines and explained the safety concerns.
Description of Work: Installed boxes and lines to bring power from a generator into the house during a power outage. Installed new plug and boxes to allow furnace and water heater to be powered by the generator.

I'm always pleased with the result. I don't think they're expensive. They always give an estimate before the work is done and will work with you on what needs to be done first. We bought an older fixer upper (always go for the full inspection) to save(?) $$$ we did not have our house fully inspected when we bought it Surprise! But as I've said, Hession Electric is Terrific. I always call them without hesitation.
Description of Work: Installed indoor fans, lights and electric wiring. Also outdoor lights for front and back of house, 220 outlet installed for clothes dryer.
