The Verdict
Hammond Electric nails the basics and then some. In one of the strongest patterns we found, 18 reviews specifically praised the quality of their work, and not a single one complained about shoddy installation. One homeowner who switched from old panels to a new system said the crew cleaned up every day, answered every question on the spot, and left everything looking better than before. When a controller stopped reporting a year after install, the owner emailed Hammond and the problem was fixed within a week with no paperwork, no extra charge, and no need to be home. (That's the kind of follow-through that separates a good installer from one you'll actually want to call if something breaks.) Reviews also mention final bills coming in under the original quote, not over, which is rare enough to be noteworthy.
If you want an installer who'll show up on time, do clean work, and fix a faulty controller without making you sign forms or wait weeks, Hammond Electric delivers. You won't find flashy financing options or a massive showroom, but you will get a crew that treats your roof like it matters.
3 Stories That Stood Out
Jarrett ended up with a solar system that beat every other local quote and a loan payment lower than the PG&E bill he had been paying before. On a 12-year financing plan, the numbers lined up exactly as promised, and he had already received the 30% rebate, which made the whole deal feel unusually straightforward. What set Hammond Electric apart was how they handled the extras: when they found a support brace issue in his attic from an earlier DIY house-fan install, they fixed it at no charge even after he offered to pay, and they also took on his garage LED upgrade for added savings. Before wrapping up, they came back to clean the site and replace a few cracked roof tiles, leaving the house in better shape than they found it. Nearly a year later, the system was still running strong with no roof leaks, and when one controller stopped reporting and a panel went offline, Hammond got it resolved in under a week with no paperwork and no need for Jarrett to be home.
Cameron Elkins ended up with the kind of electrical crew people keep on speed dial: Jim and the Hammond team handled both his personal residence and his mortgage office, and they made the whole process feel easy to trust. What stood out most was how complete the experience felt — the work was solid, the pricing stayed reasonable, the communication stayed professional, and they left each job site extremely clean. He never felt pushed into hunting for multiple bids because the crew gave him enough confidence to stay with them, and that dependable, no-mess approach was strong enough to make them his go-to for future electrical work.
Janis ended up with a much smoother breaker-box replacement than she expected: Hammond Electric swapped out the old panel in a single day, handled the permit and inspection side with PGE without a hitch, and still finished $300 under the original bid. For a homeowner dealing with an outdated electrical panel, that mix of speed, coordination, and a lower final bill was the kind of outcome that makes them the first call for future repairs.

What You Can Expect
Bill Crocker came to Hammond Electric through a friend whose own solar setup had been in place for years, and that recommendation set the tone: he expected a crew that was straight with him and knew the work. Once his system went live, the experience lived up to that promise. Cameron, the local contact, stayed easy to reach and was quick to help along the way, while Nate and his assistant handled the panel and battery installation itself with the kind of confidence that comes from real know-how. For Bill, the standout wasn’t just that the system ended up online; it was dealing with a long-established local company that paired a smooth install with people who were pleasant to work with and clearly knew solar inside and out.
JT Burrow ended up with a bigger solar setup from Hammond Electric, adding extra panels and battery backups to the house. What stood out most was how quietly and neatly the crew handled the job: they stayed professional, kept him informed as the work moved along, and left every area spotless, even while going in and out through the attic. Inside the house, it was almost as if no one had been there at all. The battery installation itself became the kind of detail that separates a careful installer from an average one, with everything lined up level, evenly spaced, and tucked in with an eye for appearance as well as function.
Keith came into the process with a lot of questions, and from the first conversation the company’s representative made the experience feel manageable rather than overwhelming. He got careful answers, steady guidance through the paperwork, and the sense that someone was actually listening before anything moved forward. Once the team arrived to install the solar system, the technicians kept that same tone on site, working politely, professionally, and courteously throughout the job.
Gail came back to Hammond Electric for a second round of work, and that repeat visit said a lot about the first experience. Once again, the crew showed up on time, handled the job professionally, and left the place cleaned up when they finished. What stuck with her was how smoothly the whole thing went a second time, with no mess left behind and no hesitation about calling them again.
Seth had been doing some of his own hands-on electrical work, but when a couple of solar systems needed service over the past few months, Hammond Electric ended up being the crew he could hand the problem to without worry. What stood out most was how quickly they responded when something electrical came up, backed by friendly office staff and technicians who knew exactly what they were doing. They handled the solar service work well and did it at a fair price, which mattered to someone used to tackling jobs himself. For him, the real value was having a reliable team on call for the things he couldn’t quite finish on his own.
Mary Ellen Ford ended up delighted with a solar upgrade that made her system look far better than the old setup it replaced. The crew brought a lively pace to the job, worked quickly, and still left the place cleaned up at the end of each day. What stood out most was how ready they were with answers, sounding well informed whenever she had questions. The whole experience left her with a sharper-looking system and the sense that the installation team knew their work inside and out.
Kyle came away impressed with a local crew that took a solar install completely off his plate, handling both PG&E and the city permits on a home system. Once the panels were up, he was left with the best part of the whole project: a power bill that dropped to next to nothing, which made the smooth paperwork and installation feel especially worthwhile.
Tyler brought Jim and his crew into the middle of a house remodel, then called them back again later when it was time to handle the electrical work inside his shop and get his solar system sorted out. What stood out was the repeat business: after the first job went smoothly, he trusted them with another property and a more involved mix of electrical and solar work. The crew handled both phases cleanly and backed up their workmanship, leaving Tyler with the kind of confidence that only comes after a contractor proves it twice.
Brittany’s solar install started and finished with a crew that felt both professional and easy to be around, and the biggest surprise was how quickly the work got done. The team moved fast without losing the polished, friendly touch, leaving her impressed at every step. What really made the experience stand out was the monitoring app, which let her track her panels’ production after the installation was wrapped up. She ended up with a smooth, top-tier setup and a live window into how much power her roof was making.
