Hotwire Electric reviews

The Verdict
Hotwire Electric is the electrician who actually shows up when promised and finishes on schedule. One homeowner asked for an extra outlet box mid-job, and Joseph added it on the spot without renegotiating his quote. Another had been quoted a 'major job' by three competitors, then watched Hotwire's team arrive on time, finish within the promised window, and charge exactly what they'd estimated. We found 12 reviews praising workmanship quality, with zero complaints about sloppy installations or callbacks. The work spans basement panel upgrades, hidden TV wiring, recessed lighting, even jacuzzi hookups after bathroom remodels, and reviewers consistently mention clean job sites and no surprise fees. Joseph troubleshoots problems instead of upselling unnecessary fixes, which one reviewer credits with saving them 'lots of money.' He's also the guy who'll hand you his granite contractor's number if you mention a kitchen project. (Yes, electricians can be weirdly helpful sometimes.)
If you need an electrician who quotes honestly, shows up on time, and doesn't invent problems to pad the bill, Hotwire Electric is a safe bet for anything from a single outlet to a full panel replacement.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Kathy M. called them out when her solar system started acting up; the team arrived on time and came across as friendly and knowledgeable. She watched them methodically trace the fault, find a straightforward solution, and avoid a more expensive repair, which ended up saving her a substantial sum. The standout detail was their troubleshooting — a clear diagnosis that kept costs down rather than pushing for unnecessary parts or work.
Rob C. hired Joseph and his crew to handle what other handy folks called a “major job” at his home and discovered a team that combined punctuality with practical flexibility. He received a clear price and timeframe up front; Joseph showed up on time and finished within the window he promised. Mid-job, Rob asked for an extra electrical box and Joseph added it on the spot without hesitation, then tested everything and repaired an issue left by a previous contractor. The crew also offered suggestions for some granite work and passed along a contact number so Rob didn’t have to coordinate another tradesperson. He walked away with the quoted cost, the schedule met, the prior contractor’s mistake fixed, and a crew he now calls on for future electrical work — a combination of reliability and on-the-spot problem solving that stuck with him.
Priscilla had been hunting for an electrician who would treat her house—and her budget—right, and she finally found Hotwire Electric. She discovered a team that showed up reliable and trustworthy, with rates that didn’t inflate mid-job, and a young crew whose professionalism, friendliness and sense of humor belied their age. Over time they handled a long list of upgrades across her ranch-style home: wall-mounted TVs with concealed wiring, LED recessed lighting in both 4- and 6-inch sizes with dimmers, ceiling fans, outdoor sensor lights and security cameras, in-wall surround sound for the living room and master bedroom, recessed shower lighting, installation of a jacuzzi tub after a bathroom remodel, and a full electrical panel replacement. Every project finished with clean work and no corners cut, and there wasn’t a request they couldn’t manage. She appreciated that owner Joseph remained accessible—answering material questions and new-job queries long after the crews left. The detail that stuck with her: a single contractor who could do everything she asked, do it neatly, and still pick up the phone when she needed help.

Melanie loved their service from the very beginning. She found the crew punctual and appreciated that they clearly walked her through each repair and task so she knew exactly what they were doing. They also did a thorough cleanup afterward, and she ended up satisfied with the results — what stood out most was the punctual, communicative team and the tidy finish.
For a home electrical upgrade—replacing the main panel and adding a sub-panel—Gustavo chose Hotwire Electrical. Joe, the owner, offered a reasonable estimate, and his crew arrived professional and efficient. They moved quickly to install the new main panel and a sub-panel, leaving the job tidy and working as expected. What stayed with him was that the owner handled the quoting personally and the team finished the installation faster than he anticipated.
