Hewlett Electric

Meigs was the first electrician to call me back about replacing the rest of the knob and tube in a house I just purchased. He was very straightforward and explained the process carefully, giving a range of estimates based on what he might or might not find inside the house. He even offered to answer questions from me as I got a few more quotes and was always very responsive by phone. While he was not the cheapest, those phone conversations told me he was the best.

Fortunately for me, he was free to do the work on my house before I moved in. Meigs, Alex, and Amberly were professional, conscientious, and just so much fun to be around! We laughed a lot but Meigs also made sure to explain everything he was doing so I knew how the house was wired. He and Alex showed me how to do some basic things so that I could take care of it myself in the future. He was also very transparent with the pricing, explaining what had been done at the end of each day and why the price came out to what it did. It was all in line with what he told me in that first phone call and even coming in lower in some instances where he could safely piggyback off the work of the previous renovation. They are all meticulous with their work by checking things at least two to three times and made sure to leave the house as they found it, being careful not to scratch the floors and to clean up any messes. Meigs even found a few things that the previous electricians overlooked and fixed them for me, just charging for the parts!

I definitely have an electrician for life. Not only are they great at what they do, they are wonderful people who are fun to be around! Give Meigs a call and you'll know right away.

They didn't work for me, but i give this 5 star because i called Meigs and left him a voice message. He called me back to let me know that he's booked and not available and continued with recommendation on who can do the task for me and which one is better in my case.
I really appreciate the way he valued my request and offered me the best solution although there was no money in it for him.
This is a business I'll trust.

I've known both Brian and Megs for years, great, great guys! There is a reason they have the yelp score they do!

Our furnace died and we're using space heaters until it can be replaced. Running more than one space heater trips our circuit breakers, so I contacted Meigs to see if he could help. Even though he currently doesn't have the resources to do my project, he explained that in addition to upgrading the original mid-1950's electric panel and circuit breaker panel, we may also need dedicated circuits. He's the only electrician, out of three that I've contacted, to bring that up. He also gave me two referrals. I am not used to this type of helpfulness and just wanted to give him a shout out on Yelp for others who are looking for an honorable electrician.

Meigs, Alex, and Amberly went above and beyond to help take a look at the wiring and outlets in our newly purchased house, then installed some recessed lights to help brighten up the space. They were on time, communicative, super efficient, really knowledgeable, and fun to have around. We love how everything looks. On top of that, all of the work done was super transparent- Meigs let us know any time there was the option to add or change something and exactly how much it would cost at that second. No pressure to make any changes if we didn't want to- we were working with a tight budget. He and Alex also made really helpful suggestions, so making decisions was a snap. The house was neat and tidy when they left. We'll definitely be doing any future electrical work with this team. Definitely recommend them.

I had the privilege of Meigs, Alex, and Amberly working on my newly-purchased house for several days. I spent somewhere in the $11~12k range on their services, but I never ever felt that I was being robbed or cheated. Meigs was transparent about everything he was doing to a fault. Honestly, if you wanted to just babysit him while he was working, he'd tell you exactly what he's doin' the whole time, by which point you'd become an electrician merely by osmosis.

All of them are very thorough, and I can attest to their pride as craftmen. Of particular noteworthiness was towards the end of their work, I simply didn't want to get anymore work done; the work they were doing was going far over the budget I had initially anticipated, largely because my house had so many illegal splices and poor handiwork all over the place (Granted, those were in the disclosure document when I bought the house, so perhaps I should have anticipated it a little more). When I told Meigs to just leave the rest of it, as I already had spent the amount you see written above, he took it upon himself to fix up several other things completely free, both because him and Alex are perfectionists, and also because it seemed he didn't want me to perish in a fire. That's essentially an entire day of work that they did and I didn't spend anything for it; they could have left right there.

The following day when they didn't show up, it was odd - it's like my roommates all of a sudden stopped coming home. I miss the hilarious banter and overall great, friendly attitudes.

If I have another problem that requires an electrician, I'll most certainly be calling up Meigs and his crew. Thanks guys.

I have had Hewlett Electric come out to do work on my house twice now and both times have been completely positive experiences. Meigs is always quick to respond to phone calls and is even willing to give rough quotes/estimates over the phone depending on the complexity job.

The first time they came out they completely redid all of the grounding in the house which only took them a few days. They also added 4 or 5 outlets throughout the house and outside. This was nearly a year ago now and I have had no issues at all with that work even though it was quite extensive and they touched literally every outlet in the house.

More recently they came to fix a wire that I discovered had been nailed through by a previous owner but was somehow still working! Fire hazard for sure. Meigs and his team came out extremely quickly knowing this and got the issue resolved quickly which I really appreciated.

As other reviewers have said, Meigs and his crew are very transparent and are always willing to give an honest opinion even if it means less work for them. The second time they came out I asked for a quote on wiring up some LED light bars in my garage. After it was all said and done they basically just told me it would not be worth the cost even though that probably meant I would not pay them for that work.

All in all I am so happy I found Hewlett Electric and will absolutely be calling them for all of my electrical needs as long as I live in this area.

Meigs took to our job like it was his own and I knew after our initial phone conversation that I had found my electrician. Meigs offered suggestions and improvements to my initial concept. Communication was excellent and scheduling our job was done right away. Bryan came out to my home to really dial in the actual work needed and we together worked out a very workable plan. Very understanding of this DIY'ers needs. Both Bryan and Alex did such a good job and I couldn't have been more happy with the results.

my electrical problem is something that Hewlett does not handle, however Meig was AWESOME! he talked me through the issues, pros and cons of changing the breaker box vs monitoring it. he stressed getting several quotes ( and he did refer me to another company , Voltz, who was also terrific) and offered himself as a sounding board for advice re this issue in the future if i had questions. i can hardly wait for my next electrical disaster so i can call Meig and actually have him do some work for us.

Meig helped talked me through a possible bad transformer on a doorbell problem on Memorial day. Didn't charge me a penny.
