I'm so glad I found Hyland Electric! The owner, Kurt, is extremely knowledgeable and personable, has excellent communication practices, and brings extensive expertise as a longtime electrician. In addition to my needing a new electrical hookup for a new-to-me, preowned hot tub, I also needed to have my electrical panel adjusted a bit to make room for the related breaker.
During the free estimate Kurt provided, he took the time to really listen to my preferences and discuss different ways we could run the electrical from the house to the backyard. It was clear that he knew how to prioritize and emphasize an installation that was safe and up to code, while nevertheless making sure that the final setup would be something that met my needs and expectations. (And I won't sugarcoat it - as a woman homeowner who, minus electrical work, is otherwise really handy around the house, I super appreciated that he didn't talk down to me or pooh-pooh my ideas or make me feel like I was about to be sold headlight fluid!)
His bid was very reasonable, especially considering that there were some complicated aspects to the install, and he took care of all the permitting. He politely called about 30 minutes before he was supposed to arrive, worked really hard doing a gorgeous job on the installation, used quality materials, and kept me in the loop about any snags he might have hit (e.g., the hot tub was being cranky with the new GFCI box and, without missing a beat, he called me over, did his best to troubleshoot it, and talked me through everything he was seeing). When he was all finished, he made sure to show me what he'd done and tell me how to follow up on and complete the permit-related final inspection. I'm resting very easy knowing that everything was done right.
I would recommend Kurt and Hyland Electric without hesitation - definitely just became my new go-to electrician - and I very much look forward to hiring him again in future! read more
