I sincerely appreciated Cornelio's professionalism and skilled work on repairing my heater. He showed me and explained what was wrong and showed me exactly what he needed to replace, and most importantly what he didn't. This is not the first time Hubbell has been straight forward, professional, and explained exactly what I needed, rather than making me buy things I did not need. Thank you John and your team!

We appreciate the time that John Onstad, the owner of Hubbell, spent with us. He was very patient in answering all our questions regarding the sizing and installation of new split A/C and heating units. He would typically follow up the same day when we requested additional information. We, which we really appreciated. Sometimes had to wait days or even a week for feedback from other suppliers. The installation required cutting a hole in the sheet rock which was then professionally repaired as part of the job. We are extremely happy with Hubbell's responsiveness, quality workmanship and the work crew;'s professionalism.

John, Zac, Loren, Esmelin, at Hubbell Electro-Mechanical did an outstanding job on determining our needs and acquiring and installing our 4 zone Mitsubishi Mini-Split system. Install team arrived right on time as scheduled and got right to work going over with us the locations of the system in each room and on roof along with covering furniture and areas where the units would be installed and where very meticulous in cleaning up after all work.
Team was very professional and personable through entire process and we were impressed on how efficient team was during installation and answering any question my wife or I had as well as going over system and how to use. The location and orientation of all the units looks great and my wife and I are incredibly pleased with system as well as how whole process was accomplished.

We suffered through the last four summers without air conditioning here in Santa Fe, and finally decided we would invest in split systems to cool the house. Our neighbors, without exception, had all used Hubbell and could not praise them enough. John came to the house and gave us an estimate and within two weeks his guys were at our house installing our splits. It took three days and we had a lot of men coming and going, yet with all the activity we did not have one bad incident.
The guys were on time every day, they were polite and professional, and at the end of the day they cleaned up their messes before going home. The end result is amazing. Last night I slept under the cool, whisper quiet air and I look forward to enjoying summer nights with a cool bedroom. You cannot go wrong choosing this company. From the top down, everyone cares and performs at a very high level.

My wife and I could not be more pleased with the Mitsubishi split-type air conditioning system that Hubbell Electro-Mechanical installed in our home. Hubbell owner, John Onstad, worked with us to design a system that has turned out to meet our A/C needs perfectly. John also personally met with our HOA Architectural Committee to get approval for siting the outdoor units. Both the outdoor and indoor units are very quiet and easy to operate.
The Hubbell team of installers did a fantastic job. The five technicians were clearly experts on the Mitsubishi units. They placed the indoor units exactly where we wanted them. The team was extremely professional and efficient, finishing the entire job in a very short time. Based on their performance in designing and installing such a complex A/C system and how easy they were to work with, I highly recommend Hubbell for all electrical, mechanical, and plumbing needs.

They still care after the sale. We're loving our mini-split air conditioning from Hubbell. After the sale, the installers were polite, efficient, showed up on time, cleaned up after their installation, and the office staff was caring, too. We had a couple problems after installation and they came right out to solve or explain our concerns. Highly recommend!
