I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review of Hein. I've used them 4 times so far and they are absolutely my go to for all things electrical in my house. They have done wiring, new outlets, new boxes, installed ceiling fans and new outdoor security lights so far and everything has been flawless. Really clean work. Reasonably priced, easy to schedule and the guys that have arrived at my house to do the work have all been awesome. Jenny who does scheduling in the office is incredible as well! Thanks Jenny! It's so hard to find good companies to work with these days. Most won't even return your call! Hein is different. Give them a call. You'll be glad you did.

My previous Electrical Contractor abandoned the project. I called around different contractors but none of them match up to Hein Lighting and Electric. When I first met with Nate from Hein for the first time I was immediately impressed. He was very professional, sympathetic, I was confident I was in good hands, that he had come to my rescue, and that my nightmare was finally ending. Nate, Brian and Juan were all very quick and professional throughout the project.
Great workmanship, it was completed with PERFECTION. They are heroes! Jenny was fantastic when I talked to her on the phone and e-mails. I highly recommend Hein Lighting and Electric. If I need any more work to be done, big or small, I will definitely call Hein Lighting and Electric.

Have used Hein on several occasions at two properties. They have always been helpful, reliable and professional. Today they fitted me in for a defective ceiling light in the kitchen at short notice. Steve turned up as scheduled and communicated well. Not only did he repair the light fixture he secured it to the ceiling safely ( previously at risk of falling!) Highly recommend and much appreciated. Brian was also very helpful with scheduling.
