H.V. Electric

We had Hugo Jr. come out to install an outlet in the middle of a random wall above a set of stairs.  Yes, I know this sounds insane and when Hugo saw the task at hand, he merely said, ok - let me grab some equipment from my truck.  Literally minutes later, it was done.  We were so impressed we actually had Luis put an outlet in a closet the same day.  Quick, efficient, and great guys.  Family run and they really make you feel like you are part of their family.

To Note: the work was done a year ago and we have had zero issue with either outlet.

As a broke college student, I really cannot afford the créme de la créme of apartments in this marvelous city of Chicago. So I settled for a decent one in Logan Square but the electricity was. . . let's just say it had a personality of its own. It varied from having exposed wirings, turning on and off when my roommate ran on the treadmill, having one super outlet with like 10 outlets in one room, sometimes working in the bathroom (on a good day), it was horrible.

In comes Hugo Electric to the rescue, thank God. They're a family-owned business, Poppa Bear and his two sons, literally. They also came punctually and saw the status of the apartment and were very observant and detailed about what would entail in this project of revamping the place. They were very easy going and down to earth people, trying to help you out, not rip you off like other companies I've experienced. They were contracted, alas, and lasted two days upgrading the electrical wiring for the whole apartment, installing new switches and outlets so two roommates can use their outlets at the same time! Imagine that. All that for about $900, including labor, material, and all that special stuff that includes ending your headaches and frustrations trying to plug in you straightener and curling iron at the same time. They were very clean and thorough, and really made an impression on my beloved haven of a home. I would definitely use them again and recommend so to my friends and family!

Hugo Electric recently came and fixed an electrical problem we had with our garage.  It's a family business, fast, reliable, and we had a great experience with them.  We originally called Sears and they weren't any help.  Hugo Electric was able to set up an initial appointment very quickly and even offered to get the work done on the weekend as they knew we were anxious to get the problem fixed.  They explained everything really well, showed us what the problem was, and even did a few extra electrical things for us at a minimal cost.  They also did a good cleanup job so additional sweeping or cleaning was required.  They did have to cancel an appointment because of the rain (they had to dig underground) but Hugo called well in advance and explained they may have to cancel due to the weather.  Highly recommend and no issues with their work.  Responsive by phone which was appreciated and spoke to my husband to explain what the problem was as he was not at the initial appointment.

I bought a new house and knew I had to get some pros in to look at the electrical system -- it was mostly old cloth wiring, and then years of patches, splices, and various other poor (and dangerous) choices. These guys came out the next day to take a look, told me what I needed to get done, what I should get done, and what could wait -- working entirely around my budget. They gave me an estimate with the caveat that things could go up once they started pulling the wires. Even though they found a lot more problems than they expected, they didn't move the cost up one cent. Hugo Sr, Hugo Jr, and Luis worked quickly and in a day and a half had run three new circuits, rewired the kitchen, ran a new homerun to the basement, and replaced the old, dangerous wire on the second floor. Better still, they left the place cleaner than they found it. I would not hesitate to call these guys again or recommend them to friends -- true professionals.
