Hamilton Electric Works

I work for an AC company and was in dire need of a certain evap motor I couldn't find anywhere and Charlie helped me out immensely! He was very knowledgeable, quick, and they had exactly what I needed. I had to call back twice to change shipping methods (my customer needed this motor NOW) and Charlie took all the changes and got me everything I needed on the spot! Thanks, Charlie!

They didn't want to repair my motor. Too busy.  Entirely disinterested and unhelpful.
The business manager now posts that they have no technician for the type of motor.
The first greeting I had when I walked in was, don't work on those. Can't get it open.
This is not true, since I already had it opened.
But no one looked at it. So is it true that they don't work on this type of motor, which no one looked at, or is this reply from the manager just an effort to counter a deservedly bad review?

I had an electric motor for a scuba compressor that died so I emailed Hamilton Electric to see what they could do.  After a couple emails Bart asked me to call him so we could discuss in more detail.  We had a really good conversation regarding my options and he suggested it would be in my best interest to go with the existing model that I have from another vendor.   When I started to take the motor apart I found the problem and emailed him again.  He suggested I bring it in for him to look at.  In the end he sold me a new capacitor and the motor is back up and running. He was very knowledgeable friendly and helpful.  I know I'll be back if I have any more motor problems with any of the various mechanical systems in my house.

Last year, the fan on the condenser from our A/C died.  On the advice of my Father-In-Law, I removed it and took it in to Hamilton Electric.
They not only sold me a replacement motor for a good price, they mounted the fan blade and and helped me get the wiring sorted out so we'd be sure to hook it up right.
I got fast, old-fashioned good service and we had no problems installing the new fan.

Needed a simple part for a fan motor and I guess the guy was having a bad day or he's always a jerk because I was very passive aggressively insulted. I figured you didn't know what you were doing was his second line.  I just had to check my notes on the part number is all. So not only will I not be back but I won't allow any of my employees to be back.  I'll agree somebody doesn't know what they are doing.

Great customer service, friendly troubleshooting over the phone on my AC condenser. Called to buy a $150 motor but offered to test motor.  Only needed a $35 capacitor. Honest and helpful ... Thank you!

Late Friday night, our home A/C stops cooling. Outside condenser unit not working.

A bit of investigation leads to a bad capacitor. Not difficult to replace oneself if done carefully. However...

Every A/C company I could find open on Saturday morning told me they would not sell me the inexpensive part. Said I had to pay for service call and installation, who knows when on one of the hottest weekends of the year.

A/C repair is an utter racket - I get the restrictions on refrigerant, it's a chemical - but a simple mechanical part, of which you have hundreds in stock? Give me a break.

Took the part to Hamilton, they had a perfect replacement at a reasonable price. If anyone else finds themselves in need of this common repair and part, go to Hamilton Electric Works before you pay the A/C extortion fees.

If you like crappy service and poor selection this place is for you! While they did have the bus fuses I was looking for I was primarily in the store to buy a 50amp zinsco circuit breaker. we dont sell circuit breakers I was told. Now what kind of electric supply store doesn't sell circuit breakers? I'll tell you, a crappy one.

I brought my lathe into Hamilton yesterday and it was fixed by this afternoon!  I don't know if they are always that fast or if my job was just a simple fix but I was pleased with the quick service!  When I dropped it off there were a couple of younger guys (nice enough) who helped me out and when I picked it up today the two brothers (owners I think) completed my transaction.  They were totally nice but not in that uncomfortable way that makes you think they haven't talked to a female in a decade (which is kind of typical in male dominated industries/shops) and they even carried my heavy dirty machine out to my car which is very thoughtful I think.  I hope that I won't be needing any electrical services in the future but if I do manage to break one of my tools I will definitely go back to them.

Dropped off a small meat slicer to test the electro-motor. Took a week to test and charged $113 just to test the motor. The whole slicer costs $350. Never advised there is a fee or the amount for testing. Motor was good, relay was bad, they did not have the relay. DISSAPPOINTED! and needless to say not going back, nor will recommend them.

I had excellent service at Hamilton.  I walked in with my condenser fan motor that didn't seem to be working.  The gentleman behind the counter quickly tested it and the capacitor that I had brought and got me set up with a new (G.E. to boot) motor.  He put terminals on the wires and even cut down the shaft for me.  I was in and out inside of 15 minutes for much less than what refurbed off brand motors were listed at online at other places (looking at you grainger).

Their specialty seems to be motors. I went in with a very old exhaust fan motor I needed replaced. They didnt have one exactly like it. So they took a similar one, cut the shaft to size, cut off mounting screws that would have been in the way, gave me a couple of wire connectors cause I said I didn't have Any. All for no extra cost. Can't beat that kind of service.

These guys are great. I took my AC fan motor to them, thinking it was failing. They tested it and verified it works perfectly. They then diagnosed my real problem was a simple capacitor that had failed instead. $4.65 instead of $100. Sure enough, the new capacitor fixed my AC problem. So if you have any electric motor, pump or control needs, these are the guys to go to in Austin.

I have purchased several replacement motors from them.  I found out the hard way. One of the motors shorted out within the warranty period.   I tried to get a replacement under the warranty and they would not honor it.  I had to leave the shorted motor for their repair department to verify warranty.  Which took 4 working days.   At that time they said the motor was under stress and must have been pulling more load then it could handle.  I purchased a replacement new motor.  I installed it and checked the load draw. It was in specifications.  I no longer buy motors from Hamilton due to not honoring warranties.

Although I had to decline a spa motor repair because of cost (due mostly because I played with it first) their service department cheerfully took time to find the information I needed to get the correct replacement from another source.  If I hadn't messed it up to begin with I'm sure I'd have had it repaired for almost half the cost of the replacement.  These are good folks.
