Replacing old breakers, rewiring a water heater and installing living-room lighting are among the jobs homeowners describe hiring Iglehart Electric for. The Hadley company describes itself on its BBB profile as a family-run electrical contractor serving residential and commercial customers throughout Western Massachusetts since 2020. Its website advertises 24/7 emergency service and says it is insured. A February 2026 Google reviewer was rehabbing the house they grew up in and described problems between the studs. Austen and the crew assessed the situation, replaced the old breakers and rewired the water heater within the week the customer called for an estimate. The homeowner praised their willingness to work with the house's condition. In June 2023, a customer described a week of electrical tasks, including new overhead lights and a ceiling fan in a living room. Austen sent several lighting schematics; the homeowner preferred his proposed arrangement and said the work was completed on time, with the work areas left spotless. A September 2022 reviewer described new light fixtures, additional outlets and updated switches, praising clear communication about the choices and completion the next day as planned. In November 2022, another customer said Austen and his apprentice completed low-voltage landscape lighting in half a day after quoting a full day. Google lists 4.9 stars from 38 ratings, and BBB gives the company an A+ grade. Austen Iglehart's New Hampshire electrician license 16614 is active on the state registry.

I can't recommend Inglehart Electric enough. I'm rehabbing the house I grew up in and everything between the studs is an absolute mess. Austen was so understanding given the circumstances and I'm so thankful that he and the crew are willing to work with the mess that I inherited. In this case they were able to come out, assess my situation, replace my old breakers, and rewire my water heater-- all within the week that I'd called for the estimate. Thanks guys!!!
As a retired Licensed Construction Supervisor with decades of experience engaging skilled trade folk, I can assure you that Austen is top notch. His professionalism and attention to detail was abundantly clear and the price he quoted was very fair. Don’t get taken to the cleaners by so-called experts – go with Iglehart.
We had Austen come in for a week to do a large set of tasks. He was extremely professional and friendly. He worked efficiently, getting everything done well and on time, and left all work areas spotless. The largest and most complicated part of the job involved installing a whole new set of overhead lights and ceiling fan in a living room. Even though we had an idea of how to place the lights, he sent us a few schematics and his idea ended up being the best one. It was a great experience; we will call him again!
I called Austen to come help me with a low voltage landscape lighting his apprentice and him showed up were first on site, quoted me for a full day and got a clean and quality job in a half day. Highly recommend
Austen and his assistant arrived as scheduled, communicated clearly about the choices I needed to make and what they would be doing. They then immediately got right to work. Exactly as planned, they completed the work the next day and cleaned up thoroughly. The work was excellent. The newly installed light fixtures are wonderful; the additional outlets are terribly useful; the updated switches fit the interior style perfectly. The work was flawless, and Austen made clear that I could contact him straight away if any problems arose. I was conveniently able to pay him online for the work, and the price was entirely reasonable and worth every penny. I most certainly will contact Austen again if I need more work done, and I will readily recommend him to friends. If you are in need of electrical work of any kind, get in touch with him.
