Service was professional and extremely well done. What impressed me the most was the handwritten thank you card that was sent to me after the work was done. I would certainly use the again if I need electrical work.

Description of Work: Checked light above the kitchen sink. Found to be old and worn out. Randy actually rode to the store with me and showed me what would be my best option. I bought it, we returned home and he installed it. The whole process went smoothly.

Coordinated well with the office and showed up on time. Provided me with a price list to fix the exterior outlets. Started at $249 since you never know how long it might take. If it goes to level two, it will be more. After about 30 minutes of testing, found a loose wire in the garage and tightened. Outlets worked. Installed the exterior spotlight after removing an old fixture. Took about 20 minutes. $220. Installed the outlet and cover outside. I pointed out that the wires went no place and that what I really wanted was a price to install the conduit inside. He said $250 (which did seem reasonable since there would be pipe bending, wire etc.) Told him I would have to think about it. They have nice trucks and are professional but their charges seem to be based off of almost an auto mechanics guide, not what it really takes to fix or install. I wrote and email to the scheduler saying I thought the price was high. He said he would talk with the installer and get back to me. Never heard anything. When you compared them to the plumber there the same day, no comparison on value.
Description of Work: Installed an exterior outlet, replaced an exterior spot light (I provided) and fixed exterior outlets.

The electrician secured the permits necessary and was able to start on the following Monday (original meeting was Wednesday). I was provided a written estimate of all work requested on first meeting and the majority of work was completed on Monday. The power company finally showed up 2 days later and wanted a cable installed rather than a riser, due to the angle of the riser to the connection site. Electrician modified the box with a cable on the same day. Power company came back the next day to restore power. The outside plug was installed after my siding was replaced (~ 2 weeks later). The 4 day wait without power was the only hardship I faced and was dependent on the availability of the power company. I was pleased at the speed and thoroughness of the service from my electrician as this job was long overdue to this 73 yr. old house. Their yellow pages ad specializing in older home rewiring and upgrades is what lead me to this company first.
Description of Work: Electrical panel was upgraded from a 60 amp to a 200 amp service. Separate boxes for water heater, clothes dryer and other "add ons" were moved to the new box. Outside electrical plug along with new front and back porch fixtures were also installed.

See above. It didn't go and never will!!
Description of Work: I called earlier in the week with a list of repairs. We set the appointment for Thursday morning. David called about fifteen minutes before the appointment and said he had an emergency case he would like to deal with if OK with me("He's sitting in the dark with no electricity!") He said he would call after he finished which he thought would be around 1:00pm. He NEVER called back, not even the next day. Very unprofessional.

Response from Hotwire Inc
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. But as I recall, I did leave a voice mail message but never got a response. This is very disconcerting to me especially since this customer is a previous client and has been completely satisfied with our work in the past. If there is anything I can do to rectify this situation, please let me know.

The company sent two electricians, Derrick and Eric, to my home. They were on time and got to work right away. They ran wire and installed two electric outlets. The job took about 3 hours. Derrick and Eric cleaned up all the messes made by the work. Both were curteous and friendly. The charge was one hundred an hour and a forty-nine dollar service charge. The final cost was what we expected for a quality job.

They were very quick. They were available very quickly. They were knowledgeable and very good overall. The only downside was that they were a little bit lacking in the clean up area. Their prices were very reasonable. Overall we were very satisfied.
Description of Work: We used Hot Wire Electrical two weeks ago to replace the circuit breaker panel, remove all the old fuse boxes and rewire the house.

They did good work but it was not a bargain. They did the work and I afterwords when I wanted them to come back for an additional job but they never called me back on that. Maybe the job was too small for them. Anyway that was alright. I was happy with the job that they did on the outlets.
Description of Work: Hot Wire Electrical moved the outlets up in our kitchen before we added additional kitchen cabinets. They moved four outlets, some wiring in the walls and wiring from the electrical panel.

The electrician came over a little early because he had other jobs that day. The work was completed in just four hours and the mess was cleaned up as soon as he was done. This sounds standard but we have had electricians before that simply leave without doing any cleaning. The work was done perfectly and I should know because I am a home inspector so I was watching very closely.
Description of Work: Hot Wire Electrical installed all of the additional low voltage wiring in our bonus room.
