 + -1 moreCceiling fixture changed in bedroom. The motion sensor on the outside lights didn't work so he just shut it off, now outside lights work. He fixed the recessed kitchen light. Bathroom light switch was changed . He changed the lightbulbs in open foyer. He changed the doorbell button but told me the doorbell itself didn't work & I needed to get another one. So, I planned to do this. Later in the afternoon, my son came home & commented on how hot the doorbell button was. I ck'd & agreed so I called Hill back, They sent another gentleman out who switched out the doorbell button & fixed the doorbell also. It works now, I'm not sure why the first gentleman couldn't fix it. I guess overall they responded well, I just felt it could have been taken care of in one visit. If one of the techs could fix the doorbell (not just change the button) why couldn't the other?

 + -1 moreThey were very good. They were very thorough and very prompt. They actually got it all done in one day. They were there right away in the morning and they coordinated with the power company who had to pull the wires. They were all there at 7 am and by 5 pm everything was done and working.
Description of Work: We used Hill Electric to upgrade our electrical system. They replaced the service panel, the grounding and several fixtures. They did not rewire the house but they brought it up to code and upped it from 100 amps to 200 amps.

 + -1 moreOverall I give this company and A+ rating from start to finish.
Description of Work: We had work done to bring the wiring for our new electric stove up to code. We also had 2 new electrical outlets put in the kitchen. The work was done very well and in good time. I felt the quality of the work was excellent and the technician was very likeable and professional. He even cleaned up after he was done. I certainly would call Hill Electric again as I feel their work was excellent and extemely well done. Also was told if we had any problems to call them and they would return to address the problem.

 + -1 moreExcellent service, I actually received a quote from another company that was less, but this companies layout seemed better and appeared very ethical. The two electricians who came were very professional and clean. The provided me with options on where light switches would be located instead of just assuming. The lights look fabulous. I would have them come again for any electrical work.
Description of Work: Installed undercounter light in my kitchen and bar area.

 + 0 moreIt went very well. She was very efficient. And when I asked her if she had time to check two lights in my basement, she did not hesitate. We went downstairs and she fixed them for me. She was so pleasant, courteous and efficient. She did not have to do the lights in my basement, but she took the extra time to help me out.
Description of Work: I called and told them one of my kitchen ceiling lights was flickering when I turned it on with the wall switch. Sometimes the switch did not work at all. The electrician tried both switches and comfirmed my discription of what was happening. She said she needed to put in two new switches. Light is now working well. No more problems. As long as she was there, I described another problem I had with lights in my basement. She fixed both of the lights and I am so pleased.

 + 0 moreI have had work done by Hill several times on a 1950's house. Most recently, they took out an old lamp post in the front yard, and installed a montion-sensor light for the garage. Previous work has included updating older wiring and fixtures. All projects were done efficiently with no mess left behind. This is an established company that does professional work, arrives on time and stays close to the original estimate. I think their rates are average for this industry. You can find people who will work cheaper, but it's worth paying a bit more for quality and reliability. This is a company you can trust.
Description of Work: removed old electric lamp from front yard, installed motion sensor above garage door.

 + -1 moreOur old water heater died before we finished converting to gas. So we needed an electrian to come in and ground the wires before we could start up our new water heater. We called Hill Electric and they confirmed that they could come out the next day. We were happy about that, because it had been a couple of days without water. The electrician arrived on time and got straight to work. When asked to look at the front light he explained what the possible problem could be and asked how I wanted to fix it. He was very professional and courteous.
Description of Work: We had Hill Electric come in to ground our gas line to our new water heater. When the electrician was there we asked him to look at a front light that wasn't working. He fixed that for us as well.

 + -1 moreThe work for the gas range had to be completed between the time I closed on the house and when the range was delivered - about a 3 hour time window. With only a few days notice, they were very accommodating, arrived on time, and completed the work quickly. The woman who answers the phone is very pleasant and helpful, and both electricians that have come to my house have been professional. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I have used Hill Electric twice since I moved into my new home. They installed the hookups for my new gas range, and several new switches when I first moved in, and checked and fixed a problem with my can lights most recently.

 + -1 moreThe last time I used them as for a job where I had done the first part myself and then I brought in Hill for the more difficult parts and said I would work with the Hill electrician to fish wires through the walls so they didn't need to bring a second electrician. They had no problem with working with me and they also worked around the schedule of another contractor. In several instances they have been creative in how they ran the wires and where they put switches and what kind to use (over/under switches in one case where wall space was tight).
Description of Work: I've used Hill Electric for several projects over the last 8 years ranging in cost from $150 to $600. Even though I always got a different electrician to do the actual work, in every case they have been outstanding to work with. They give estimates first and in each of my jobs the actual cost came in under the estimate.
