My whole experience with Fairway was terrific from the first call to throwing out the boxes of my newly installed fans. I called Paul on a Wednesday afternoon and by evening - he emailed that someone would be at my place at 7am the next day. Oscar showed up on the dot at 7am (I'm not a morning person so was hoping he would be late. ha!) Oscar looked at my kitchen fixture and determined it was the transformer - I've had two other electricians try to fix it and they thought it was the dimmer switch (which I've purchased twice!). Anyway, Oscar had to run to another appt and said he would be back to install the fans - which I knew about upfront. Which gave me time to run and purchase the correct ballast. He came back a few hours later and installed the ballast and both fans, he was very conscientious and neat and did not cut corners. I live in a condo and however the beams were running - installing the fan braces was a task! He was a wiz at assembling the fan, very knowledgeable and didn't mind that I asked a ton of questions. He had great suggestions but always left the final decisions up to me. I'm a very Happy customer. I highly recommend using this company for their prompt customer service, no hidden surprises, reasonable costs, friendly and knowledgeable techs. Ask for Oscar if your installing a fan!

I contacted them via Angie's List but it seemed like maybe my schedule was too hard to accommodate. But then later that day, when I get home, there the provider is, waiting to take care of the problem. I guess that they had tried to contact me but the e-mail didn't go through (I hadn't given my phone number). The technician was very polite, fixed the faulty wiring, and installed the dimmer. He was quick, professional, and it was well worth the hundred bucks.
Description of Work: Installed a dimmer switch and discovered why the current circuit wasn't working.

Paul is pleasant to deal with and is very attentive to details when discussing a job. His team of very capable electricians share their bosses' traits and I am very comfortable having them work on any issues that come up. Whether the job is small or involved, the attitude does not waver, which is appreciated. Responsive, responsible and trustworthy.

I discovered that the wiring in my condo was aluminum, which can cause safety issues. I didn't want to have the condo rewired because of the expense and because doing so would have required cutting into the drywall, with all the accompanying trouble and mess. So, I decided to have the aluminum wiring retrofitted with special connectors that would make it safe. After unsuccessfully looking for an electrical contractor who would actually do that kind of work using the type of connectors I wanted, I happened to notice Fairway Electric on Angie's List. They had received excellent reviews, so I emailed them and described my problem. Almost immediately, the owner, Mr. Paul S. Harris, got back to me, stating that his company did that kind of work using the connectors I was interested in. After a few more emails, during which we discussed the details, including the price (Paul said he would meet or beat any other estimate I had gotten), we set up a time for his electricians to come over and do the job. The electricians, Tommy and Oscar, arrived on time and, after introducing themselves in a very friendly way, immediately set to work. I could see right away that they were true professionals. They seemed to know exactly what they were doing, and they worked steadily for several hours, breaking only for lunch. They were happy to share with me exactly what they were doing, answering my occasional questions directly and in a way I could understand. They went back to work after lunch and completed the job. They cleaned up after themselves thoroughly, and were polite as they left. Overall, I was extremely pleased with them and their work. I've had some nightmare experiences with contractors (of all types, from landscapers to plumbers), so my experience with Paul, Tommy, and Oscar, and Fairway Electric in general, was like a breath of fresh air. If you're looking for an electrical contractor you can trust, I hope you give Fairway a try. You won't regret it.

Response from Fairway Electric
Schedules don't always work out. A lot of information can be lost if not answered direct Please always be direct with as many details as possible As I said in the letter. My apologies this didn't work out This is the communication that transpired Paul S Harris 3108647171 fairwayelectric@sbcglobal.net Fairway Electric10/10/2015 I can get to you before Wednesday approximately how high is the ceiling please STEPHAN KADEN10/11/2015 Hi, I measured, just under 10' to the track mount point. By Wednesday would be great. thanks. Steve Fairway Electric10/11/2015 I will be in touch and thank you Paul fairwayelectric@sbcglobal.net Fairway Electric10/13/2015 Are you available between 11-1 pm Wednesday STEPHAN KADEN10/13/2015 Maybe Not. During that time I will have movers here. They are due about 10 and should be moving stuff to a storage unit about noon. So I would say better would be later, like after 2pm. But if arrival can be 11...we should have just enough time. STEPHAN KADEN10/13/2015 Oh, I will have to go with them to the storage unit. Fairway Electric10/14/2015 We will need tocomere in the morning on Thursday are you available STEPHAN KADEN10/14/2015 yes. I will have stagers here then photographers at 1. I have to have the new light in by one or I will do it myself. Thanks....Sorry about confusion to day, messing with a move day I guess is not good. It took about 5 hours. Steve Fairway Electric10/14/2015 Just to confirm do you need us in the morning Paul STEPHAN KADEN10/14/2015 yes or cancel as i will have to do it myself STEPHAN KADEN10/15/2015 Hi, Time is up. I need to cancel this, please refund my money. I am not blaming, but I MUST get this done right now. Steve STEPHAN KADEN10/15/2015 Please advise me when the refund is processed. I do not like to give bad reviews and STEPHAN KADEN10/15/2015 continued....and like I said I don't blame you and will give a "I backed out" statement if that is helpful. But I will need the credit ASAP. thanks, Steve Fairway Electric10/15/2015 I am not responsible for this part of the process please contact Angies list Fairway Electric10/15/2015 I have a tech on the west side tomorrow if you would like to try a last time STEPHAN KADEN10/15/2015 Bite me. I fucking done with you after 4 days of not showing up. STEPHAN KADEN10/15/2015 I will go after Angies and I am going to bad review you. Others have never fucked with me like this and if they could not do the work they refunded me. Fairway Electric10/15/2015 Refunds come from Angie's list I am not paid until the project is completed If you have the mid morning open i can still help no matter what you choose to do with a report. Schedules don't always work out for that my apologies Fairway Electric10/15/2015 On a side bar Do you have a relative named Kala Kaden STEPHAN KADEN10/15/2015 An X wife. Listen you caught me at a bad time, the end of two solid days of moving. etc. But the bottom line is really others have taken care of the refunds when we could not co-ordinate. I find this situation as quite a shock since Angies doesn't even have a contact category for this, or I missed it. I did write them though. As for trying again....you seem to not understand, I did the visible critical work the photography was today. It was never that I could not do this, I have done lots of technical and electrical and wiring work in the past, I was just willing to pay to get this done while I had lots of other work do do. At this point the other part....well it is hardly worth 170 to carry a ladder up the stairs when I have time. Please support a refund and lets move on. Fairway Electric10/16/2015 I will contact Angies list this morning on our (Your behalf ). Did we meet a few years back at a cabin in Big Bear for a short time Small world we see Alex at Panarra in Thousand Oaks just before her Israel Tripp and just after đź‘Ť Again my apologies for this process certainly dosent happen often Paul STEPHAN KADEN10/16/2015 Hi, I asked Kaila, yes we partied a weekend. Lots of kids, accidents, eating sliding....it was a fun time. at Google, I am maybe retired, Thanks for helping out with Angie's that should help clear things. Best Wishes. Fairway Electric10/19/2015 please make sure you request a refund as well Paul We will always stand by our customers and work with their needs as much as the day allows and more when possible Paul S Harris 3108647171 fairwayelectric@sbcglobal.net

I purchased the Angie's List deal last night when my husband and I discovered our FiOS was out due to no power to the outlets in our garage. By 7:00 am, Paul from Fairway Electric had called me, and by 7:45 he had texted me some suggestions to help us work around the outage until someone from his company could come and help. Oscar arrived around 10:45 (no time was specified, but I asked them to come after 10:15). He quickly showed me what was wrong, fixed it, and replaced one of the outlets since the problem would likely recur. Since that fix took far less time than I'd anticipated, he went through the house and inspected a few light fixtures where the bulbs were going out often. He showed me that the fixtures were practically fried and needed to be replaced. He also removed some broken bulbs that were stuck in the sockets. He was courteous, efficient, and great at telling me what the problem was and how he was going to fix it or what his suggestion was for a long-term fix. Great experience overall.
Description of Work: He checked malfunctioning power outlets and light fixtures and removed broken bulbs.

.Tommy tried to work with the old outlets to improve the connection but the old wires were rusted to the underground conduit and couldn't be replaced. The next day he came back and replaced both outlets and ran conduit, above ground, to allow the fountain pump to operate again. Very professional, friendly and did a great clean-up. Can highly recommend Fairway.

After an initial service appointment mess up, Paul apologized and set an appointment for 7:15 AM the next day, so that there would be no waiting around on my part. The next day, the service person showed up promptly and completed the job quickly. To my surprise, I recognized the service person "Tommy" from several years ago. He had done a great job with a particularly difficult ceiling fan installation. Fortunately, it turned out that this Fairway Electric (Thousand Oaks) is the same Fairway Electric (Culver City/Venice) that I had hired years ago-- (they had moved).

I feel really grateful to have found Fairway Electric and thank you Angie's list for listing them! Anything regarding electricity and plumbing stresses me out, but I feel much better having found a reliable and reasonable company. A friend referred me to a different electrician last week, who charged me $211 for the call and didn't restore power to my three rooms. Last week's electrician said that I had to rewire wherever the wire was torn and that it would be an all day job with 3 people and would cost $700 (plus wiring cost.) I didn't get a good feeling so I looked on Angie's list and called Fairway Electric. Paul answered and was very nice and patient and said he would send out an electrician for an estimate. His electrician Tommy said that last week's electrician should have inspected all the outlets first, which that electrician did not do. Tommy said most likely there was a problem with a loose wire near the outlet. He came today and was very polite, nice and thorough. After carefully checking many outlets (over a dozen) he found the problem! He worked efficiently and was very knowledgeable. I'm still in awe that he fixed it and that I have power on that side of the house again! Thank you Tommy and Paul for the excellent service. I will highly recommend you to my friends.

I wanted to share how awesome Paul and his company were on this service. I live in Washington and my mom called from Simi Valley saying that the power had gone out and when they tried to flip the circuits it would spark. She was very stressed out as she cares for my bed ridden father and didn't know what to do. To complicate things even more, it was after normal business hours for most companies. She was going to randomly select someone with emergency service from the phone book. I asked her to let me find someone and found Fairway on Angie's list with good reviews. I called and Paul answered and I explained my situation, my concern for them not going long without power, not getting taken advantage of and looking for someone that would take payment from me since my parents are on a very fixed income. Paul said he completely understood and would head out right away. He was up front about the minimum fee based on travel and expected time to evaluate the problem. He arrived within the time he told me (90 min) and got them back up and running. He texted me a few times along the way to keep me informed. He then went back the following day to check everything in the daylight as in the dark it was hard to see everything. My mom commented on how patient they were explaining everything to her. When done, Paul emailed me the billing invoice and I could pay online. The bill a small fraction of what I feared it could be. I was convinced someone would see my parents situation and try to convince my mom she needed a whole new panel or worse. Overall I was very happy with the whole experience. It is great to find a company that still believes in customer service and that is trustworthy. I am grateful to have found Fairway on Angie's list and we will definitely be calling Fairway for future electric needs. Thank You Paul!

Tommy did the work quickly and efficiently and provided evidence of the damaged wire to help me recoup losses. He corrected the safety issue immediately. I was very lucky that I called Fairway. I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Reconnected an outlet in the attic. Tommy from Fairway immediately found that a live wire had a hole drilled in it from a contractor who had been there earlier in the day. That's why the outlet stopped working. It was a safety hazard. He corrected it quickly and got the outlet working again.
