Services
Our mission statement reflects our company, and we go that extra mile to make sure that we treat every single one of our customers as though they are part of the family. We also strive to do our utmost to honor the commitments and guarantees that we have offered. Although we have an excellent reputation as a company who specializes in rewiring old homes, that is not our only focus. We deliver the same quality and attention to each task, no matter how great. From home renovation to brand new construction projects, we can help.
Even though older and more historical homes (those constructed prior to 1965) will need the expertise and know-how of a professional and efficient electrical wiring technician, most homes, which were craft built. A lot of homeowners often ask whether their home is in need of an electrical upgrade. These upgrades are more suited to older homes, and they can boost the electrical service from a meager 100 amps to a more suitable 200 amps.
There are many older homes in the Washington, D.C. area that have outdated wiring and electrical systems. It may have been decades since they were upgraded, if at all. Our Washington, D.C. electricians are available to do a thorough consultation. Following the inspection, our experienced team will give you a detailed report on your electrical system and wiring.
When was the last time your home's wiring and electrical services were upgraded? How old are your circuit boxes and other connections behind the walls? If you suffer from constant brownouts or flickering lights or feel heat coming from behind the electrical outlets in the walls, it may be time to upgrade your wiring and other electrical components.

By far the best electricians we have ever used! In fact, they were the best contractors we have ever worked with. We used Hyman Electrical to replace our service/breaker box, install several exterior outlets and repair another. They were on time, reasonably priced, and helped solve not one, but two separate issues we were having that were not part of their job and did it all in less than two days. Best. Electricians. Ever. Don't waste your time anywhere else.

I called Bill in a pinch to help with my oven which had stopped working. He was unable to send me a repair person, but patiently walked me through the steps to fix it. So grateful to Bill for his willingness to help. Services: General repairs, Electrical power restoration

Great company and very responsive. I had an electrical issue in the house where part of my circuit quit working. The owner was very nice and walked through some of the common issues with me. They showed up on time, was very professional, found the problem and fixed all of the issues with the circuit. They communicated very well through the process. I highly recommend this company.

I had what I thought was a bad GFCI and called Mr. Hyman. Bill himself got back to me and walked me through diagnosing the problem over the phone! He was knowledgeable and patient and resolved my issue! He also provided follow-up actions to take to ensure the problem would not recur! I have saved his number in my phone and will call again when I need him and share his info with my friends! Thank you Bill!

I've worked with Bill, and now Bill, Jeremy and Kevin for all of my electrical needs for 41 years, since I bought this old house. They have a superlative record for expert service. And when people say, "I called Billy and Jeremy and Kevin were already in the area and were able to stop by and give me a quote, " that is how fast it usually happens. Either that, or the same day an appointment is set. I always recommend Hyman Electric. The company is on our Next Door Neighbor site as well.

Great experience! I emailed to request an estimate on upgrading my panel/service and installing circuits for a new HVAC system. Bill called me the same day to discuss. Jeremy and Kevin were already in the area and were able to stop by and give me a quote. They were very knowledgeable and professional. The installation went smoothly with great communication throughout the entire process. I'll definitely use them in the future! Thanks!

Bill and his team were great. Bill got back to me within a day of contacting him. Jeremy and his apprentice were prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. They got 8 of my outlets switched out for GFCI in less than 1/2 an hour. Will definitely be contacting Bill and his crew again when I have more work to be done. Thanks guys!

Hired this company to install a ceiling fan. They were super responsive, provided text updates including the technician's name and assistant. Were upfront about most pricing. They are a little pricier than I would have expected but solved the issue they encountered and had a good install. Would certainly give them a call for future needs.

When I purchased a new house, I knew going in that the electrical system needed a lot of work. I got quotes from several contractors, but Bill Hyman took the time to talk through all of the intricacies with me even before I signed a contract. I eventually contracted with Hyman Electric to do a heavy-up of our panel and meter. Hyman's team of Jeremy and Kevin did a great job; punctual, professional, and clean. I will continue to use Hyman for my electrical needs in the future,

We called Bill Hyman on Monday and they were at our home working Wednesday morning. My wife and I are having a fireplace built and needed some wires (coax and electrical) in a bulkhead rerouted to make room for the chimney. We also needed few receptacles relocated and terminated. Bill was extremely helpful and understood exactly what we needed to have happen and why.

His team Kevin and Jeremy were on time, professional, and explained exactly what they were doing. We're extremely pleased with the quality of work Hyman Electrical provided as well as the timeliness in which it was completed. We highly recommend using their services!

This has been an excellent & outstanding experience. They were responsive, pleasant, efficient, arrived on time as agreed to, did not attempt to price gouge, conversational, honest, careful, . could add more, but you get the picture. They installed six outdoor lanterns, changed the lighting in the garage, and performed some other tasks. EXCELLENT!

I wish I'd found these guys earlier. I have an older (1948) house and was having some odd electrical issues. Bill returned my call quickly and spent quite some time on the phone discussing the issue even before sending his crew came out. Long story short, not surprisingly my legacy service was not adequate for modern electrical demands. Jeremy and Kevin were great - they were timely, worked quickly, and explained what they were doing and why I needed it done.

Communication was great throughout; I was having other work done at the house and Bill worked directly with that contractor to coordinate, which made life much easier with me. Finally, Bill handled all the PEPCO and county inspection interactions and got it all done promptly. Highly recommend for workmanship, professionalism, responsiveness, and fair pricing.
