## Why it ranks here

Hess Electric scores 84.3 out of 100, and most of its points come from the Google rating (38.9 of 44.4 possible) and claim accuracy (22.2 of 22.2 possible). It loses the most on the number of reviews, 10.2 of 16.7 points, with 27 Google reviews against the 5,000 needed for full credit. It earns no bonus points: we did not find published prices, 24/7 service shown in its Google hours or a written workmanship warranty with a stated term on its website.
