Hantsch Electric is a New Milford electrician that says it has been in business for 45 years and describes itself as a family-owned company providing residential and commercial electrical services throughout Western CT. It carries an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau and a 4.8-star average across 72 Google ratings. One recent customer says Hantsch was the electrician for a Generac whole-home generator and several side projects, and that its extra troubleshooting showed the generator problem was a gas supply issue, not electrical. A customer who has worked with the company for 8 years says it installed a home generator and added outlets. One recent customer says the electricians snaked electrical feeds for lanai ceiling fans and motorized shades without damage to the home's finish, after another electrical contractor declined the job. In a 2022 review, a customer said the company upgraded a 50-year-old electrical panel to 200 amps with a generator plug-in, filed the permit with the town and scheduled the inspection. A 2026 customer said Milton did the work when their entire electrical panel was replaced. A recent 3-star customer understood the visit to be $195, then was billed $390 for two hours at $195 per hour to find a problem with the electric heat in an older house. That customer said the repair quote was much higher than a second quote from another local electrician, and advises asking up front whether the rate is flat or hourly. In a 2021 review, a customer gave 2 stars and wrote that calls are not returned.
They're good people and they respond fast, but ask about pricing before they come out. They got someone to the house quickly, and Allen was polite and easy to work with. Everyone I talked to was friendly. When I booked, I understood the visit to be $195. It turned out to be $195 per hour, and I was billed $390 for two hours to find a problem with the electric heat in an older house. I was told on the phone it's usually the thermostat, so I expected a quick visit. Part of that time was conversation and me flipping breakers and switches for him, which I didn't realize was on the clock. The repair quote was also much higher than a second quote I got from another local electrician for the same job. If you call them, ask up front whether the rate is flat or hourly and what the visit will likely cost, and get a second quote on anything bigger. If they explained pricing clearly before the visit, this would be a higher rating.
Hantsch was the electrician for our Generac whole home Generator and several side projects. They are our GoTo for any electrical work, and all referrals. The team has been accessible, informative, and supportive (of Generator, and many other questions). They even did extra troubleshooting on the Generator that turned out to be a Gas supply issue (not electrical) the Gas company who did install could not even get to the bottom of. All works seamlessly now. All other projects have been done professionally and at fair price. Can't recommend these guys enough.
#1 in every detail.
This company provided excellent service from start to finish. their communication was superb, after coming out to access the problem and then fixing it we had to call them back on site which they did promptly. all the staff I encountered were friendly and knowledgable. kudos, thanks for a great experience. highly recommend
I have been working with Hantsch for 8 years , with installation of home generator , adding outlets and other small electrical jobs. They are amazing from customer service, to all the tech who have come to my home. They are all courteous and very kind. I highly recommend them to anyone with electrical needs.
