RS, west hartford, CT

Rating: 5

Reviews:
These guys were real pros and did impeccable work. They did not let the inclement weather impede the scheduling of the job and worked non-stop until every item on the quote was done. They also took personal pride in their work to make sure that me,the customer was happy not only the day of the job, for for every day afterward and made me glad i did my homework before awarding them the job. This was a challenging job, where every item they touched needed a master craftsman touch and nothing was simple and all items required extra thought and effort. Best of all, they fixed an in-house shorted plug that I tried in vain for years to find the problem with and Sean was able to trace the cabling up into the roof and down an unexpecting wall and plug that I would never have found by myself. Everyday that I use that now working plug in the kitchen, I thank them for making my kitchen more liveable and enjoyable.

Rating: 5

Reviews:
I was very pleased with the work done by Dave Hotchkiss, of Hotchkiss Electrical, on 1/22/09 on the problem I was having with the electric baseboard heaters in my living room. He came promptly at the time I specifed and proceeded to analyze and detect what caused the problem. He then advised what could be done to correct it. He then proceeded to obtain the heater needed to replace the defective one. With expert input from Dave I decided to update the other heater in the living room and the one in the dining room as well as the the thermostats in both rooms as well as in a bedroom. He worked efficiently and cleanly. He is a very competent and capable professional electrician. I would certainly recommend his services to anyone.
