Description of Work: They installed a transfer switch for a portable back-up generator. They were very responsive, performed the work quickly, cleaned up completely, tested the installation and made sure that I knew how to use it. I was very satisfied with the job and felt it was a great value.

Hillcrest has done a great job on a large and challenging project. They promptly and cheerfully addressed a few midstream scheduling/communications issues with the GC and homeowner, and all has gone very smoothly. Hillcrest gives helpful advice and handles changes well, and the quality of their work is excellent.
Description of Work: Rewired large home for new radiant heat, HVAC, 3-storey elevator, intercom and a major addition. Now adding a propane-fueled emergency generator.

These guys are incredible. We have used them a bunch. The are friendly, do a great job, their prices are reasonable, but most of all they are honest. We have a had a few issues that we thought required bigger jobs and they came out and found easier solutions. Wouldn't use anybody else after our great experience with them.

Hillcrest exceeded my expectations in all aspects of performing this job. We got three estimates and one was more than four times higher than the Hillcrest estimate! Hillcrest was very clear about the scope of the job and what was entailed, and followed through exactly as they described, updating us periodically as the job progressed. Because they have to work on every electrical outlet with knob and tube wiring, they had to move quite a bit of furniture and knickknacks, but they moved things back into place and cleaned up, scheduled the building inspection, and even gave me advice on light bulbs. We couldn't be more satisfied.
Description of Work: Hillcrest removed knob and tube wiring from three levels of a 2000sf house. It's a very tedious job because they have to go to every outlet in the house that has the old wiring, and it took them two days to complete the job.

The business owner was responsive to our initial query for an estimate. Getting the actual estimate took a bit longer than expected. However, the scheduling of the job went smoothly after the estimate was provided, and the job itself occurred as scheduled and the job was completed without any problems. The workers were easy to get along with and performed the job efficiently and neatly. There was no mess left behind. The result is exactly what we wanted and the price was very reasonable. We may very well do more work with this company in the future.

A++. The best ever. Professional. Articulate. Competent. Thorough. Efficient. Updated some lighting and wiring in my house and did an excellent, quick job. Came when they said they would. Very courteous. Way above the competition. And no, I'm not related to them in any way. Perfect job. I could go on an on, but you get the picture. Remember the name: Hillcrest Electric.

John and Bill arrived promptly. They immediately went to work, and consulted with me as required for things like placing the recessed cans in the kitchen and colors of switches and covers. They both worked quickly and efficiently. They even patched and cleaned up any plaster dust etc. They treat my house as if it was their own property. I have used Hillcrest for multiple jobs and have always been pleased. I look forward to working with them again. They are great!

Although they are only in Needham and publish in another magazine that they service a wide area, the woman who answered the phone told me they don't service Dorchester. It was an awful feeling that they simply did not want to come to my neighborhood. I was very disappointed.

They responded by phone the same day. I was set up for an estimate the following week. The gentlemen showed up promptly and discussed my options. They faxed me an estimate the next day with a proper description and great price. Unfortunately I did not use that septic tank contractor who needed the electric done.
Description of Work: The job was to connect the power and alarm for a pump to a new septic tank system from the basement breaker box.
