Fairway Electric

Paul was great to deal with over the phone. Tommy came out the 5 days earlier to give an estimate. Tommy, Oscar and Jaime arrived on time (first thing in the morning) ready to start work. They verified with us all the work required before starting. Then got straight to work and were finished by end of day. They were a pleasure to deal with and kept us informed throughout the entire process. We would not hesitate to use them again...Thanks Fairway!

I left a message for Paul, who replied that evening and asked me to email him a description of the work, a diagram of the install location and a photo of the electrical panel. He called me a few days later and provided me with a recommendation on how to proceed and an estimate. Once approved. he proceeded to pull the permit and do the installation, following the guidelines of the LADWP department. After the Building and Safety inspection (passed) and the LAWDP inspection (it took 3 weeks to happen, as there is a serious backlog on all EV permits at LADWP), the power was turned on. Paul, Jaime and the rest of the team at Fairway did a very clean and professional job. Upon determining that his team had spend less time than anticipated on the job. Paul gave me a discount on the original quote. Overall, I was very pleased with Fairway's service. While on occasion, it took them a bit of time to get back to me (its best to communicate with them via email or SMS), they did a great job.

When one of my old Pushmatic circuit breakers got stuck "Off" I called Paul and didn't regret it. He had me email him pictures of the circuit panel and we spoke on the phone about what he suspected was going on. Since those replacement breakers can be pricey, he even told me where to buy one so I could just pay for his labor. The next day, two guys came out and installed the new breakers and were patient and helpful answering all of my questions. I'd use them again for sure!

The crew, Oscar and Jaime, were polite, provessional, answered all questions, and responded to requests. They will be called again to take care of the open circuit at a later time.

Did not show up Did not call to inform customer of no show. Provided too many excuses for not doing the job.

I called Fairway Electric and Paul was at the house the following day trouble shooting the issue. Paul was great. He was on time, very professional, responsive and knowledgagle. I appreciated his candor and honesty (he didn't try to sell me on a bunch of work that didn't need to be performed). Working with Paul and Fairway Electric was a pleasure.

I called his co and another one, The other guy showed up and i made a deal with him, however Paul helped me a great deal of what to ask and accept and info regarding my contractor and city codes. He was a very caring and professional man.

Great work, showed up on time, got the job done and charged a fair price.

This was the second time that Fairway Electric has provided me with services, and both times I have been extremely satisfied. What stands out the most to me is the professional demeanor of the company and its representatives. They are prompt, courteous, fair and competitive in pricing, and remarkably efficient at multi-tasking and brining the job in on budget.

Paul came out to troubleshoot and found that there was no current issue with the power, and that both appliances just needed to be reset. He was very thorough in checking the main breaker box as well as the wiring going into the shed, and the original installation of the electric dryer plug. Since he found the problem quickly, and it turned out to be minor, he also installed my new combo smoke/CO detector alarms for free (the house is a rental, and I needed to comply with new state CO detector law).

Excellent work. Figured out the problems, described issues and fixed. Went out and purchased necessary items promptly. 2 workpersons on site each tackling separate issues made good use of the time. Jaimie and Oscar were fantastic, helpful and didn't get annoyed by my granddaughter following them around asking questions.

All work, including planning and consultation as the work went on, was done professionally and helpfully. Workers were friendly and communicative and dealt very well with the fact that I like to be close to the process and will often stick in my two cents! No complaints at all.

Paul responded to my request to look at my project almost immediately and came to my property the next day. He looked at the job and provided me with possible solutions that would be both aesthetic and economical. He was able to give a rough estimate within 20 mins of inspecting the situation. I felt that he had good moral character and was very open and honest with his dealings. He also is transparent with his costs and markups, unlike some other people I've dealt with. I was comfortable enough to tell him about the bad situation I was in with my contractor. Basically, I hired a contractor off of Angie's list and I was having many issues with him, including dishonesty and and a few violations of Contractor State Licensing Board's rules. I asked Paul for advice. I didn't realize that there were rules the contractor had to follow, until Paul pointed me to the CSLB. He was truly concerned for me and was very generous with his time. He called to make sure I was okay and provided much needed guidance in a time of desperation. Though I haven't hired an electrician yet, and Paul hasn't performed the job yet, I can say with great confidence that he is a Stand Up guy who went above and beyond his call of duty to help out a fellow human being in a time of need. I'd like to thank him and share this story with Angie's List patrons for that is hard to come by these days. Incase you're curious, this experience has helped empower me by equipping me with the knowledge I needed in order to protect my self from Contractors that take advantage of inexperienced clients. Furthermore, Paul has given me hope that there are good people out there! Thank you, Paul!

We're doing a kitchen updating. Everything is packed up, the cabinets are going to be redone, all the appliances have been pulled, total updating. The newer, high tech oven requires 220 electrical, so we were concerned that getting 220 electrical from the garage, in the front of the house, to the kitchen, at the back, would mean tearing up drywall and more mess than we already have. Tommy and his crew collaborated with my husband and came up with a great way to do it, which required only one small square of drywall to be cut out in the closet. They're also doing under cabinet lighting. When I was presented with the new LED lights, which are those bright, glaring, white lights, I didn't want them. We have spent a lot of time and money putting in soft, glowing, accent lighting and that would have stuck out and been jarring. They went the extra mile to find an amber light that would work with the color palette of our home and the other lighting, and while all the electrical tie-in is done, the final lights will be installed after the cabinets. However, we're very pleased with the solution. They also are fixing a few small items, such as a landscape light that burns out every time we turn it on. Seems like it's working, we go to bed, go to turn it on the next night, and it's burned out. Guessing it's a short, but time to get to the bottom of it. All in all, I can't say enough good about working with this company. Paul does the scheduling and sends updates via email promptly, which I like, since I'm not always home but can get email updates via smartphone, and it saves me time to know I don't need to race back if they'v been held up, but generally, they're also on time, which is great. Tommy and the crew are so nice, friendly, and likeable, as well as very good at what they do, it's just really a pleasure to work with them. If you're in the L.A. area and need an electrician, this company should be on your list to interview. I'd give them a higher rating, but A is as high as it goes. I'll just go ahead and say A+++++. Thanks again, Paul, Tommy and crew!

I wouldn't trust someone in my house who functions in this way. More troublesome still, is by the conversation we had about his actions, he doesn't see he's done something wrong.

I didn't use this vendor. i called for a quote twice, and left an email as instructed, but never had a follow up. this was 10 days ago. If you are too busy to take on new work, be good enough to say so.

My four-plus-year experience with Fairway Electric has been terrific. Paul, the owner, is very responsive to calls and does his best to send one of his men out as soon as possible (the same or next day). What I most appreciate about Paul is that if the problem can be solved by telling you what to do over the phone (e.g., "Try resettling the circuit-breaker and see if that solves the problem"), he's happy to offer guidance instead of charging for a service call. When Tommy (the electrician who we've always dealt with) comes, he is always friendly and competent and willing to take care of small jobs (like readjusting the settings on motion-sensor lights) so that all the little "nuisance" jobs are taken care of. And their fees are reasonable! Needless to say, I highly recommend Fairway Electric and continue to be a loyal customer.

I recently used Paul Harris at Fairway Electric and can recommend him and his crew wholeheartedly. I saw that they had close to 90% "A" rating on Angie's List, which is why I went with them. The owner, Paul, is very polite and knowledgeable, he came exactly when he said he would and they fixed two things which took time, but charged a reasonable rate (if you're curious what their troubleshooting rate is, $80/hour). They even fixed something that the guys who put in my heating/air conditioning unit had messed up. VERY CONSCIENTIOUS. Paul would not let his workers assume anything, he made sure they checked every single thing and that the thing they came to fix worked properly before they left. They saved me a lot of money as I got a much higher quote, with the wrong diagnosis of the problem, from a different Angie's List electrician last year. I am so glad I didn't go with them!! It may take time to make an appointment, as Paul is often in the field, but I am VERY pleased with them and will be using them as my primary electrician.

It was hard to find an electrician who worked on weekends, but Fairway Electric was open. Paul (the owner) at Fairway Electric was responsive, professional, and helpful. After I described the problem to him, he recommended that I contact the electric company, as they could probably fix the issue for free. I don't know a lot about electrical systems, and he could have sent someone out and charged me for it, but instead he gave me great advice that led to the problem getting fixed for free. Paul even sent a follow up email later to see if we needed anything. We'll definitely call Fairway Electric for future electrical needs.

I needed someone to rewire an outlet correctly as we found that the previous owners had hard wired an extension cord into an electrical outlet. I was told on the phone that was something this company could help with, but needed to get some pictures to get an overall idea of what they were looking at as far as job wise. I sent two pictures to the email provided and never heard back from the guy. I understand it was around the holidays and people are off work, however, if you are going to tell someone you will call them back, have some respect, and follow through!

Sometime last spring Edison wanted to install a new digital meter on our panel. Because of low voltage issues this never happened. Throughout the summer, Edison attempted to install the new meter a few more times but couldn't for the same reason. The first Edison employee said the problem was at the transformer. The next one to come out said the problem was within the house. There was a back and forth as to where the problem was originating. In the meantime, we were living off partial power within the house. We had to gut two deteriorating bathrooms, which left a lot of exposed wiring. We definitely had problems, but didn't believe our house was causing the low voltage problem. On Monday, an Edison employee climbed the power pole, found a loose wire, repaired it and said all low voltage problems were solved. He was great! He tested the main panel and said everything looked fine. That was such a relief to hear that! Fairway Electric came in on Wednesday and did all the interior repairs in a professional, workmanlike manner. While we still have some additional construction work to be done, we are clean, safe, and relieved that Fairway Electric helped solve our most serious problems. Pricing was very reasonable. While I could have found someone cheaper, I believe you get what you pay for. I paid for and got a top-notch company to handle my electrical needs.

I was a real pleasure to do business with Fairway Electrical. I feel that at last, I've found our "family electrician". I will use him for every electrical need in the future, and have already raved to my friends about the great service Fairway provided. I was in a big hurry to repair the outdoor lights in time for a big outdoor party. I contacted a couple of companies, and was very happy that Paul agreed to do the job for me. He sent Tommy, who was very thorough, and checked and fixed everything that needed fixing! I needed a specific fixture, which Tommy shopped for and worked to adapt so it was just right. He also bought me a supply of low voltage light bulbs to have on hand for my various fixtures, checked my wiring and the grounding. He was very pleasant to deal with, explained everything to me, and he completed the job quickly and with a smile. All at a super fair price. For me, it gave new meaning to the name "Fair-way". Even though they knew that I urgently needed the work done in just a few days, they didn't charge me extra for coming to the rescue. Thank you Paul for responding to my emergency. And thank you for sending Tommy. He's great! You will hear from me again!

Great guy! Great company...

I was about to leave town for a few days when the pool motor burned out, and I contacted Paul to come and inspect the wiring at short notice. Meanwhile, the pool man was confident that there was no need for this, and arrived unexpectedly to put in the pump. I had a plane to catch, and couldn't be here to coordinate the work. Paul came, checked the wiring and advised the other guy that it was fine to proceed. He left voice mail for me letting me know the outcome, and he didn't charge me for any of this. Paul offered to provide an estimate for the sump pump repair/replacement, but there was no pressure.

I called Paul on a Tuesday afternoon and he had his guys out to my house the very next day at noon. Tommy gave me an estimate of the work I needed to have done and when he asked me when I'd like the work started, I replied, "Now". He called for an additional electrican and the two of them did everything within a few hours. Extremely pleased with every aspect of the job and I will use Fairway Electric going forward. I
