When I called to get an estimate, Rick Harrington told me what we were doing wrong. He also said it is explained on their website. Our breakers were not bad and we were not charged for the advice. Will definitely call him if we have another electrical problem.

I had a 30 year old bathroom fan removed and a newer model installed, and Harrington Electric did a fantastic job! They were professional, efficient, and the owner Rick communicated on the status often. I highly recommend this company.

Work always went well. Price was more than fair and servicemen were both friendly and professional. Because of their consistent friendliness, competence, punctuality and reliability, I would never go anywhere else. I have found these rare attributes to be like quite a few enterprises in other fields of work in this smaller city, really refreshing!

Just fine as always. Used them for almost 2 decades and never a problem. Greatly appreciate it when they say that they cannot do a job immediately and help me find someone else, although I would almost always prefer to wait if there were no emergency. Cannot give a $$ amount because their service extended for so many years.

Rick was able to give an estimate over the phone for the basic work. The faulty breaker was discovered by the electricians at the job site. Mauricio & Marcelo arrived on time and ready to work. After explaining what needed to be done, they presented us with options for outlet placement, colors, and identified some possible issues. They got right to work and didn't stop until they were done. Upon finding the faulty (burned) 2 pole breaker, they quickly identified a replacement and retrieved it. They were back within the hour and completed the job. In all the job took approximately 5 hours. The electricians were professional, respectful, and left the site cleaner than when they arrived. The price was more than fair for the amount of work done and from the very first phone call to Harrington Electric, you could tell it was a customer focused, professionally run company. Highly recommend! Great job Rick, Mauricio, & Marcelo.
Description of Work: Installed 4 outdoor GFCI receptacles, disconnected service from old hot tub, moved outlet service from switch to hot circuit, replaced faulty 2 pole breaker.

On time, very polite, quick to get to work, well done and clean. Overcame a challenging physical situation where the fan was to go. Installed fan and when done, fan motor was faulty. He took the unit back down so I could return it, repacked it perfectly, and arranged to have a separate invoice sent to my email (right away) so I could return the fan and get them to pay for his wasted time. Had them come back and finish the installation of the replacement fan, it went very smoothly. Will definitely be using them again.

The entire organization is very friendly, well organized, efficient, high quality work, high quality material was always used. The same crew that started installation last year continued and finished the job this year and they remembered what to do and even made a couple of changes too. Harrington Electric is the BEST electric company in western N. Carolina.

I have used Harrington Electric in the past so they were my first option when I needed work done on a rental unit. They scheduled a service call for 0800 the following Thursday and called the day before to confirm. The electrician arrived on time and went immediately to work. They installed a new exhaust vent fan and light (I provided the vent fan/light), including attaching the metal flex duct to the gable. They cleaned up their mess afterward. I will continue to use Harrington Electric and I highly recommend them for all your household electrical service needs. As always, a big thank-you to RIck!!

After contacting two local electricians with no response for weeks, I joined Angie's List and found Harrington Electric. We are sure glad we did! I called before office hours, left a message and within an hour received a call from their office manager. We emailed our specs and had an estimate from Rick Harrington that afternoon. They began work a few days after the estimate arriving right on time. Mauricio and Marcelo were the electricians who worked on the shed with Rick staying in contact with us and his crew. The job was done extremely well and we now have a warm, lighted shed for my husband. Harrington was efficient, professional, friendly and did such a good job that we are going to call them for some outdoor lighting projects next. We highly recommend them and will be using them in the future.

Workers insured that the chandelier was centered appropriately and that the speakers were installed properly and were very neat in cleaning up as well as ensuring that all furniture was protected. For the great room they accessed above the ceiling by going through a garage ceiling attic entrance to ensure proper placement of the speakers by finding pre-installed wiring. The under cabinet lights required running electrical connections down from the top of the cabinets in the kitchen and then very neatly aligned the lights and connected them. Dining, great room and outdoor porch were all cathedral ceilings. They were in the home on two separate occasions ( due to homeowner having equipment} for a total of ten hours. The price was quoted from the start and didn't change. I highly recommended this firm.
Description of Work: The firm's employees installed a chandelier, 5 ceiling speakers (2 outdoor) all in high ceilings, 4 under cabinet lights.

The two men who came to install the light fixture were efficient and professional and they cleaned up after the job. They seemed very knowledgeable. In addition, they picked up the light fixture from the lighting store where I had ordered it. They had the right equipment for an installation in a foyer with a 22 ft. ceiling. I will definitely use them again.

Everything is fixed or installed and works flawlessly. The technician is professional, friendly and competent as well as extra tidy. It required two trips to complete, as the 18 foot ceiling is just barely within the reach of a 12 foot ladder and not safe to do on. Overall, the price was good enough to prevent me from buying a ladder and doing the chandelier myself against my wife's wishes. Not to mention likely saving me the heart attack from my fear of heights on an unsteady ladder.
Description of Work: Did several electrical fixes and upgrades in the house. Fixed an electrical outlet that turned out to be a broken switch on the wall. Rewired several GFCI outlets which were not functioning as they should. Fixed the switch for the dishwasher. Installed a 120 outlet for our new gas stove in the kitchen. Installed Chandelier in foyer (18 foot ceiling)

By way of explanation, please read my emailed response to the customer below. Sincerely, Rick Harrington From: Rick Harrington Sent: Friday, July 25, 2014 9:19 AM To: [customer] Cc: Mark [employee] Subject: RE: I need some electrical work done in my house. [customer's name], Your report on Angie's List prompted me to talk further to Mark, the technician who did your work, regarding your project. We realize we owe you an apology. After reading that you measured your ceiling five times, I asked him if he was sure he was using a 12' ladder. He initially had no doubt. He knew this because he had come by the shop and taken the 10' ladder off his truck and exchanged it for a new 12' ladder we had recently purchased. Upon stopping to get gas on his way home yesterday, he happened to look up at the ladder (which was still on his truck) and realized his mistake. He had inadvertently put a new 10' ladder back on his truck instead of the 12' ladder, which would have easily been tall enough for him to reach your 18' ceiling. We both had assumed you gave the wrong measurement for your ceiling (which has happened with customers in the past) but now realize and admit that the mistake was ours and not yours. Regarding, not getting back to you to complete the job. Mark confirmed to me that he did tell your wife we would be in touch about completing the job. He does not specifically remember if he actually told me this, and neither do I. Either way, this was an error on our part as well. I apologize on both accounts for our errors and for the inconvenience it has caused you. If you would still like for us to change out your chandelier, we will be happy to do it for you, only charging for the time spent on site. I presume it will be less than one hour (65.00) for Mark, realizing that we can now complete the job with a standard 12' ladder. One point of clarification I would like to make in regard to your report is how much I told you the job would cost. You can see from an earlier email below that I gave you a quote of "about 2-3 hours for two men" at 95.00 per hour. That was a ball-park figure and never intended to be a fixed price. For your information, the reason I ended up only sending one man is because the afternoon before one of our other lead electricians had a family emergency and had to leave the country unexpectedly. I'm not citing this as an excuse for our mistake in not getting back to you, but the rescheduling this caused added to the confusion of a week in which we worked on twenty-two separate projects. I want you to know that this is not an attempt to have you change your report on Angie's List. With the exception of the quoted price you stated, everything you said is accurate and the report is fair. By way of response to your report, I will be posting this reply as an explanation as to why things happened as they did. Sincerely, Rick Harrington Harrington Electric, Inc. 828-681-0297

Great experience. Rick came out to give me an estimate after normal business hours to work with my schedule. The price was right where we expected it to be. (I got a couple quotes) I had no knowledge of Harrington Electric, but I found them on Angie's List and they are located close to us. The guys showed up when they said they would. The work was done promptly and Rick was there when they started the job. Everything went as planned and the work was done neatly and professionally. I will definitely use Harrington Electric in the future if we have the need for an electrician.

Superior professionalism from beginning to end! I had several estimates for this job, but Rick clearly was the most knowledgeable about and experienced in the installation of these generators. He explained all my options, made recommendations to fit my budget and my top priorities, chose the best site and even scheduled the person to do the gas pipe installation. On the day of installation his three man crew arrived promptly and set to work very politely and efficiently. Mark, who supervised the team, was especially helpful in determining which circuits could and should be powered by the generator to provide maximum comfort and security. He returned the next day to make the final connections, test the generator, and teach me what I needed to know. Rick arrived shortly thereafter to make certain the job had been done correctly and to my satisfaction. It was an outstanding job by an outstanding company.

Both of the electricians were professional, very neat in both their appearance and in their work. They did their work, efficiently. They were careful of the house not damaging anything inside or outside. We have an older house and when asked to point out any other electrical issues that we should fix, they did so with being alarmists. We will continue to use them.

Rick was prompt in all aspects from giving estimates to scheduling and finishing the work. The two workers who did all of the work were two brothers from Chile (Marcel and M......). Let's just call them the Mand M brothers. They were good, fast, personable, and quite funny. They moved two ceiling fixtures, installed and moved multiple outlets, installed two pendants on dimmers, installed 16 feet of under cabinet tape LED lighting, and installed wiring for a wall oven and a cooktop. For the two 220 lines new circuit breakers were added. They did all of this while working around a bumbling incompetent Home Depot cabinet installer (DO NOT HIRE home depot for cabinet install). Rick Harrington was around $3000 less than an estimate that I got from Home Depot for the electrical portion of the work. I definitely will use them again. There was one mishap where one of the workers put his foot through the ceiling. As it turns out my sheet rock man had a lot of wall and ceiling work to do already and he did not charge me any more to fix it. Also I am an amateur guitarist and it was cool to talk to Rick about music and playing. He is quite accomplished as a guitarist and singer and he gave me one of his CDs which I think is very good.
