EH Electric & HVAC is Edson Hilaire's Waltham electrical and HVAC company, doing panels, wiring, lighting, generators, EV chargers and mini-split installs across Greater Boston and MetroWest. A July 2021 Patch story reported that Hilaire ran the business from his kitchen table for more than a decade before opening a Waltham storefront that May. The company says it has served the area since 2005 and describes itself as family-owned and Black-owned. The BBB grades it A+, and Google shows 3.5 stars from 11 ratings. Several customers' trouble was with the office rather than the work. An August 2026 reviewer said working with Edson in person was smooth and timely, but scheduling through the office was frustrating, with wrong information from reminders and staff. A May 2026 customer praised Edson and Tatiana for being early and efficient, while finding the contract and payment website confusing. In a January 2026 review, a customer who has used the company since 2020 said Jay fixed a furnace blowing black smoke, and another January 2026 reviewer said Jay talked them through a heating fix by phone during a snowstorm. In October 2025, one customer praised an EV charger install; another said the team added extras beyond the proposal, like more garage lights. The complaints are pointed. In an October 2025 review, a longtime customer said a mini-split install brought a constant run-around over the model information needed for a rebate, and that no one answered email and the phone went to voicemail. A July 2025 reviewer said that two months after a Mass Save inspection, results still had not been submitted, and a September 2025 reviewer said the company had nobody who understood HVAC. Older complaints include a May 2020 HomeAdvisor review of a $220 quote that became a $1,048 bill, a December 2021 Angi review describing an incorrectly installed fan, and a July 2022 one describing an AC unit that broke down a year after $2,600 in new coils.

Working with Edson directly and in person was smooth and timely, but scheduling through the office was frustrating. Several times the automated reminder or the office told us the wrong information or there was a mis communication. Between us adding scope to the project, scheduling conflicts and failed final inspection which needed rework and extra charges the project took two extra days to finish.
We are very pleased with the work performed by EH Electric. Their team was professional, responsive, and provided a fast turnaround that helped keep our commercial project moving smoothly and on schedule.
Edson, Tatiana, & the EH Electric team were prompt, responsive, and efficient. We scheduled an appointment for assessment, they were early for the appointment but since we were not available, kindly came back at the appointment time. And then, the day before our scheduled installation, we found some new information that changed what we wanted, and they were able to adapt less than 24 hours before the install was scheduled. I really appreciated this flexibility and focus on meeting what we needed, even if it changed the plans. My only constructive criticism, I found the website they used for contracts and payments to be slightly confusing and to have a lot of extra information that was not entirely relevant to my project. I get it's simpler to include for everybody, but the formatting made it difficult to quickly skim and find what actually mattered to me. I will definitely use EH Electric again if any future projects arise.
Awful company. AWFUL. I would not bother with them. I don’t even know how they are certified.
I have been using EH Electric & HVAC since 2020 for all of my Electrical & HVAC needs upon moving to Waltham. They are a really great reliable company with amazing staff. They have always been there for me. On my last visit Jay was sent to take care of an issue with my furnace blowing black smoke and shutting down. Jay was very thorough and extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail. I’m so thankful Jay was able to get me back up and running in no time! Really great service, honestly, the best! I highly recommend EH Electrical & HVAC for all of your Electrical & HVAC needs. If you want it done right and don’t know who to call. Definitely call them!
