Mike has been out to our home on 3 separate occasions. Each time he arrived early and was very thorough. He does not takes breaks, he is a hard worker and knows what he is doing. Very knowledgeable & reliable. Highly recommend Hatch Electric.

I was on a waitlist for a whole month for another electrician in town to stand me up. I called Hatch hoping to get on their waitlist. The receptionist was super nice and said she would fit me in as best as possible. I assumed that meant a few weeks to another month since every electrician in town was booked. The next morning I got a call from Charlotte telling me that they're able to come out to my house same day.
The technician came out, quickly figured out my crazy Tahoe wiring (that we all have.) fixed the problems & added two outdoor sockets in no time. Extremely reasonable pricing & friendly service. I'll be using Hatch in future.

Called Hatch after receiving a late night phone call from a tenant that there power went out. The unit they live in is old with an older style electric panel. Chip the owner of Hatch returned my call bright and early. Tech arrived at 8 AM and went to work. It was a complex problem and Mike spent the time doing the troubleshooting. Could not be happier with this company. I was told by my tenant the an electric they had called spent 5-6 hours and didn't find the problem? Hatch figured it out and fixed and we are back to peace of mind! Thank you guys very much!
