Electric Connection Inc

I moved into a new house and needed some electrical work done. Called 3 different electricians – 1^st came out, told me he’d get me a bid, but I never heard from him. The other 2 never called me back. Finally, I called Fred at Electric Connection, Inc. That afternoon Fred was at my house and within a few days the work was done. He replaced my electrical panel, ran conduit and the electrical for a dryer, and fixed an old light switch. We were very pleased with all his work. The guy readily communicates via phone, text, and email, which is a far cry from those flakes who never call you back or whatever it may be. Highly recommended.

Fred is a real professional who cares more about his clients’ needs rather than the money. Case in point, I called Fred to come and check out a problem we were having with our circuit breaker. Rather than to schedule an appointment immediately, he asked me about the issue. He identified the issue as something that PG&E should handle and suggested I call them first. He also provided advice on how to handle the circuit breaker and what to tell the PG&E technician. All this without charging me a cent! Money-​aside, he saved me from a day of headache and loss of power (and gasp! Wi-​fi.) If this is how he treats someone on the phone, imagine the level of service you can expect if you were a paying client. I can’t thank him again and will definitely reach out to him if anything ever comes up.

I recently called Fred Hyslop at Electric Connection, Inc. for some electrical repairs that I could not do myself. As before when I have used his services he is prompt to call back, asks about the problems and comes prepared with whatever supplies are needed. He does the work efficiently, and explains what he is doing and why. I trust his work and his prices are fair. Fred is a very personable guy, and I would highly recommend him and his company.

With a planned move to an old Edwardian home that has seen a lot of little jobs done over the years, we wanted to to make sure that all of the wiring was safe in the house. Fred is very knowledgeable and in addition to providing a professional site report, he also did a great job upgrading our FPE breakers. We further appreciated Fred sending everything to us electronically (including pics of the completed work) since we are still out-​of-​state.

Fred was freaking awesome! We bought the house expecting a little electrical work was needed. We were told all electrical wiring was performed correctly by a professional, but needed permits. So I thought it was going to be an easy job. It was NOT A LITTLE electrical work; our house needed tons of help.
Thank goodness I found Fred on Unilocal.He found all matters wrong with our electrical work. The previous electrician left the circuit breaker cut out without grommets coming into the breaker to protect the wires. Razor sharp sheet metal edges were grating the insulation of the incoming power lines. Apparently the electrician didn’t think this was a problem. I couldn’t believe it when Fred pointed it out.
Fred also fixed several outlets, installed 2 flood lights, set up permits for our house, remove a 60 year old fuse box and bypass it to the circuit breaker, fixed light switches that were wired wrong, installed ground to our house, and many more items.
I found out later it was our neighbor (professional electrician by trade) that worked on our house for the previous owner. He was proud of his work? Are you kidding me? He offered his services to me, because he knew our house, but I knew the quality of his work because of Fred. I am never going to hire my neighbor! Only Fred.
Fred’s such a friendly guy, my son and wife love him. My 3 year old gives him a hug when he sees him. He asks if Mr. Fred is coming to the house today, it’s very cute. He’s got tons of stories that will intrigue you. I didn’t want him to stop telling his tales, but he had to work on our house.
If you have any type of electrical work, you need to call Fred! He’s an awesome electrician and person in general, always very professional but very humble explaining what he’s going to do. He even brought in our UPS packages? How freaking awesome is that?

Fred was prompt, professional, and knew what he was doing. Solved a burned wire problem in my fuse box. He has a lot of experience and I will recommend him to others.

Fred has to be the most patient man in the world. He came to fix a beeping smoke detector of me. After calmly guiding me through the house to find another smoke detector, which I swore was not there, he pointed it out to me, which was in plain sight, and did not even say «I told you so». We got our first nights sleep in over two weeks, and there is no one else I would call if I ever need help again.

Fred Hyslop was great. I thought that I needed a much more significant job but Fred explained the problem clearly and fixed it with a minimum of fuss.
I really appreciated his integrity and professionalism. I have a pretty old electrical system and was prepared to gut the place and start from scratch. He repaired the small faults and now it works perfectly.
Can’t give a better recommendation than that!

Fred had done several jobs for my landscaping company, Forester Landscaping, over the years.
He designed an outdoor lighting system for a client of mine who was thrilled with the results.
He has worked with my project manager several times to facilitate electrical installations.
Fred upgraded the computer power and modem connections in my office.
I always look forward to working with Fred because I know his work will be clean, crisp and perfectly done.

Amazingly smart and creative. Fred designed lighting for our renovation 12 years ago and just now has come back to be the Electric genius on another, smaller project. I just told him how well his work has «stood the test of time»… the lighting is still awesome in our bathroom — he even put in a light overhead so we can read ion the bathtub!!! And the lights around the bathroom mirror are on a dimmer so we can dim them while we’re in the shower. So if you want someone to really give you a great job that you’ll still love years from now, I can’t say enough good things about this company. Plus he is super courteous!

Fred Hyslop did all of the electrical work for the remodel of our home, which was completed over a year ago. The work he did was uniformly excellent, and he was great to work with.
I was particularly impressed because I had lots of opinions about how to wire power, cable, phone, internet, and audio into the house. Some of my ideas were misguided, and Fred did a great job of making sure the job was done right while still making me feel like my requirements were met. I enjoyed the process, and he was very patient.
He clearly has lots of experience and is attuned to detail. E.g., he made sure that dimmers were not placed near in-​wall speakers, advised me on choosing the grade of internet wiring to use, and help ensure that we wired for cable in a way that would make it painless for the cable company to do the final hookup.
I am working on my electrical wishlist. When I have the work done, I will definitely call on Fred.
