Hewlett Electric

Kelly K.

Wow! I have to laugh because I didn't even look up Hewlett Electric on yelp before hiring to them to do my small job. (I was that crushed for time)

But after Brian left the first thing I thought is ""I have to get on yelp! They are so worthy of a good review"", and I am so bad at actually getting online and doing it.

I ran into Hewlett Electric by mistake, they were doing work on a neighbors house and I was on my way to Home Depot....

I had just ordered my new stove, and decided to do a new floor before the holidays, when low and behold I fell into a nightmare of termite damage that threw things into a few weeks of work rather than a few days.

I had planned on doing most of the work myself, but with this new dilemma it would be impossible to finish in time. One of the things I needed to do was change the old hard wiring, into two new outlets for the new appliances

I hit my breaks and backed up my car when I saw the word ""electric"" on their truck. I asked if they could possibly do a small job real quick. Meigs came out that evening and Brian was here the next to do the work.

Phenomenally nice, professional, prompt , courteous... fair... I could go on and on... what more could you ask for?

I couldn't have had a better experience than with these guys, and once I get through the holidays, and on with all the other electrical work I'd like to do I will be calling them again.

If you want great people to work with, these are the ones :-)

Awesome, great job done! Personable, Reasonable and the estimate price did not change. They installed recessed lighting and additional outlets that were way overdue in our older house. It is so nice to have honest, reliable and great electricians. Saving for a panel upgrade , now that I have a company that I trust.. Thanks all!

Potential work: Electrical Panel replacement

I found this company through Yelp. My house has a really old electrical panel and having moved to this house about 18 months back, I was looking for an electrician to replace the electrical panel just a safety precaution (I'd read old panels are potential fire hazards). Meigs arrived on time and answered all my questions. I then asked him: In your professional opinion, does my panel really needs to be replaced right away or can it last a few years? Now most contractors would use scare tactics in order to win the job. But I was pleasantly surprised with Meigs honest answer. He said, ""Being an electrician, if I owned this house, I'd probably wait for a few more years before replacing the panel."" Now how many times will you hear a contractor say that? Needless to say, Meigs will likely have my job whenever I'm ready to replace it.

Work: Running cables along the attic and through walls to new rooms.

First off, the entire crew is extremely friendly, respectful, and helpful. Not only are they pleasant to deal with, but they are all efficient, punctual, professional, and willing to explain in detail the work they are doing. On top of it all, their pricing is very fair (had a few estimates before choosing Hewlett) and they will recommend the best options to you (whether it brings them business or not, at least in my dealings with them).

My experience was a bit unique as I had them come out twice to run the cables into rooms that previously had no outlets, through the attic. The first time they came out and ran the wires cleanly with no hitch. They finished in less then a few hours even though the work was fairly extensive through a small attic and inbetween different walls. But I asked them to use an old wire that I had to save some money, since long wires can be expensive (huge mistake). We tested the televisions and everything worked fine before they left.

Within a couple days, I was having some issues with internet. I had Comcast come out and test the wiring in multiple places and found that the cable I had provided could not handle the bandwidth high speed internet needed (felt pretty stupid at this point). I called up Meigs and asked for his advice and how much it would cost to re-run the wire. He gave me the options and told me he would re-run the wire for FREE!!!

They came out again within a few days and re-ran the wire within an hour, again cleanly and without any issues. We tested everything a bit more thoroughly this time and found no issues. Now everything works great, and I couldn't be more happy. I highly recommend Hewlett Electric if you are looking for a fair, professional electrician you can trust. At the very least, they will give you great advice!

We called Meigs to redo some of the the wiring in our garage, put in a few outlets and shop lights, etc. Reasonable estimate, he came in a few days later with a helper and completed the job very well. Even did some extra things and did not charge extra. Cleaned up the whole place nicely. Great job.

Work: installed 3 ceiling fans

Meigs and his crew did a great job for us. The work was high quality, very detail-oriented, and done in a timely fashion. The price was also very reasonable.

They even took the time to answer questions we had about a completely different topic (track lighting). If we ever get off our lazy butts and decide on a lighting solution for our living room, we will certainly give Meigs a call.

Fabulous - the only electricians I will ever call again. Reliable, punctual, and good. Our light switch wasn't working in a bedroom and Bryan came to fix it. He just needed to pop the switch back into place and it worked. I appreciated that he took the time to explain how the switch works and tested everything before he left. THEN he didn't even charge me a dime since he said it wasn't really broken. wow! How refreshing - professional and I didn't get ripped off - excellent customer service. I will definitely call them again - really great experience. I'm so glad I found someone I can trust.

I'm actually writing this review second hand, but was so impressed with the work he did at our house that I had to make sure he got positive plug on Yelp.

We've had an electrical problem with one light on a certain circuit since we moved in to our condo. Hit the light switch in the living room, power goes off in the kitchen and you had to reset the fuse. I accidentally hit this switch when turning on another light and all power in our kitchen went out. The whole circuit was gone and we couldn't reset the switch :(

My husband found this guy on Yelp, gave him a call (on a Thursday) and the electrician said he couldn't fit us in until Monday. When he realized we'd have no power in our kitchen over the weekend, he dropped what he was doing, came around within an hour, sourced the problem and replaced the electrical doo-dahs right away (I'm not technically minded).

My husband is a semiconductor engineer so he can be a real critic of anyone technical, but he was really impressed with this guy and said he did a really great job - he said the electrician new his stuff and was able to debug the problem straight away. Hooray for me! I have lights and power in my kitchen again.

Also, for a house call that happened same day, this was very very reasonably priced. When my husband said he got an electrician in straight away I actually cringed when I asked ""How much did that cost?"" but he was really inexpensive (as house call electricians go) and just did a really really good job.

You need an electrician, this is definitely your guy. Two thumbs up!

Meiggs Hewlett was great to work with. He was professional, timely, and fairly priced. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing electrical work. He upgraded the panel in our new house to a 200 Amp. Would definitely use him again.

GREAT service . . quality work and VERY reasonable! We just went through a remodel in our bathroom/bedroom and a few things went wrong so I called Hewlett after reading all of the Yelp reviews. Brian came out to our house and fixed what should have been done the first time. We have gone through Hewlett several times now and had nothing but great service, not to mention Brian is a pleasure to work with!!!! Look no more if you're looking for a GREAT electrician!!!!
