Electrician soon followed and he also did a great job for us in a minimum amount of time! Thanks HEP!

Ric was absolutely superb as an experienced electrician and simply as a professional. It is so rare to see exceptional customer service these days and Ric (as well as those who took calls) were extremely professional. Ric went out of his way...after hours at that..to complete a job. After I mentioned I wanted the maintenance plan (recommended by 2 of my neighbors), he went out and documented make and model of our HVAC Units for the future reference of those who may call. Exceptional. A friendly gentleman; I am relieved that I know our family has someone and a company we can depend on for so many things..

We have used HEP for various projects and repairs at our home in Knoxville over the last year and a half. Every single time they come out they are knowledgeable, honest, friendly, efficient and always get the work done to our satisfaction. I highly recommend them for everything from electrical to hot water heaters and plumbing to air conditioning install or heater repairs. They are never high pressure and always send an A+ team! Keep up the great work!!
