Best Businesses in Indiana

Contacted Patrick for help on a long list of electric work after getting my home inspection report. Being a new homeowner, I appreciated his candor on what was higher priority and lower priority on the list since I didn't have the funds to do the whole list right after purchasing my home. I am currently redoing a half bath and needed some electric work completed before I went on to the next steps. He fit me into the same weeks' schedule although he was busy so I was able to move forward with my bathroom remodel. I could not recommend him enough!

Fabulous and would highly recommend! I was left with a horrible mess from another contractor. Wesley came over on a Sunday and was able to get everything in working order. He has done several projects since and I would highly recommend him!

Friendly owner, friendly staff, they got the job done quick. Not much I can write about except that they got the job done with efficiency, they did what they were supposed to do, and they were nice folks.

I hired McGlinch electric when my under ground service shorted out. I called for them to replace my meter base while the service was down, they stopped on the job they were working on an came right over and replaced the meter base. The work was fast and professional, I would use them again.

We own an apartment in Martinsville and got recommended to Aaron from another fully booked electrician.  This was after a previous one had fallen through.  We needed to rewire an entire apartment in an old house.

~Good communication.  
~Makes good recommendations,
~Fair price, and
~Works quick.  

We'll call Aaron back for another project for sure!

My whole job wasn't real big, but it was in a pole barn that provided lots of obstacles.  They came on a 90+ degree day and worked quickly with quality as the end product

Michael was amazing. Super accommodating. Honest, kind, efficient, and fairly priced. He came out to my house. I found my new mechanic and I'll be sending everyone I know to him!

I was quoted about $600 and Michael fixed it for $85 and came to my home. Couldn't have asked for better customer service.

Despite the fact that IPL never showed up as promised. They quickly and efficiently restored our electrical service after a tree fell on power lines.  Could not be more pleased

I called them to repair the AC for our carriage house rental apartment. They came that day (which was great!) and the initial agreement was $95 trip/diagnostic fee. He listened to my description and in about 2 minutes told me he needed to replace both the compressor and the fan motor. He then spent about 30 minutes explaining their annual maintenance fee I could purchase (almost $600/year for our full systems), taking pictures and sending those to his shop, talking to them on the phone from his van. He then returned and showed me on his tablet an initial quote of about $560 which included an itemized $75 fee for him to get the parts. I asked him if that included the service fee. He said, "parts, labor, everything." I agreed. He clicked the accent button and the price jumped to ~$780. He explained the increase was because of the extended diagnostic time required, because he was here more than half an hour diagnosing the problem (even though that included a sales pitch for a maintenance agreement!) I asked why I was charged more after agreeing to a price, when he diagnosed the problem so quickly and spent most of his time in the van writing up the estimate and trying to sell a maintenance plan when he had been able to tell me in minutes which parts needed replacing. He said he doesn't like the system either but that's what they do. I said the price might be fair but it feels really shady to raise the price after I accept, right in front of my eyes. He called his manager then told me the best he can do is $600. He would not let me talk to any manager. I said ok, but it still feels shady to raise the price after an initial offer. He then clicked to accept that and the price went up to $698.46. He apologized, said it's their system and he has no control over it. I went ahead and paid them that price. He did the repair. It didn't work. He took it apart and said he'd crossed some wires. He attached them a different way and then it worked. He sprayed it down with my hose and said that was $130 service he was doing for free. It was a very odd way to price a job, and based on their increased fees I felt cheated, because they  apparently charged me for time spent trying to sell a maintenance plan. They knew it was a hot day and I'd pay anything they asked. I don't think Ryan cheated me, but I think their system is out of his control and not honest up front. If they wanted to charge almost $800 they should have just charged that up front. If my complex problem risked an extended diagnostic fee they should have told me that up front. I definitely don't feel comfortable asking them to return for any other services.

I've used these guys several times for various home remodel and repair work. They arrive on time and work all day getting your job done. They are sometimes a bit expensive in how they price things, but if you talk to the owner, Chad Christian, he will work with you for the best deal that fair for all and affordable for you. Estimates are normally not fee, trip charge is about $85 and will count towards any repair work you may have done. They have done AC, plumbing, wiring / electrical, rood, gutter, and construction work for me. The crew does good work and tries their best to not make messes and cleans up as much as they can at the end of each day, but messes are expected in any type remodel. So they do a good job. I will use them again as needed. I recommend them for your home repair needs.

Had him  put in an outlet for a sump pump. It stopped working and was unable to figure out why. Said he would come to look at it again on Monday, then stopped responding to texts and calls. We will have to hire someone else to fix this.

Fast professional service at a fair price. Dennis was excellent at discovering the problem and with repair. Will not hesitate to call in the future and would highly recommend.

He gave me a bid for new AC and air handler! When he came he cut gas line and just let it go in air! He then installed old equipment! Air handler is 10 years old, A/C is 6! I had different contractor tell me how of everything was! The day I told him not to come back he pulled permit 2 weeks after he started! Lines are two small! Electric is in wrong! Thermostat wired wrong! He bypassed my heat pump so it wouldn't even kick on! This is all supposed to be brand new equipment why is he bypassing!!! Awful experience! I want my money back and he can have his 10 year old equipment back! Everything has to be replaced! I am suing him!

Would not recommend this company - as a sub contractor we did work for them and they did not pay their invoice for services rendered. We tried multiple ways to contact them and they did not respond to any of our calls, voicemails, texts, or emails.

This was the second time using Hickman Electric they must be a very large company with many accounts because the little guy in the little house means nothing to them I had an appointment scheduled for a week and a half for 9 a.m. on Wednesday morning took the day off work so I could be home for them call them at 9:45 wondering where the guy was to do my electrical work got a voicemail received a call back about 10 minutes later telling me I'm glad you called I was on my way back to the office to get your number we're not going to be able to make it out today we had a fire loss two days ago and we are trying to restore the power to the building is what the man told me thank you very much for my cancellation notice all it takes is a phone call and I would be at work today earning  my wage so if you have a little electrical job may I suggest looking for someone besides Hickman to do it for you they are not even deserving of one star but Yelp make sure you give them at least one
