Frankie was easy to work with and did a good job. He was here on time, quickly assessed what needed to be done...went and got a few parts from the nearby Lowe's, and took care of business. I also had him run some coax cable for my husband's project to install an amplifier for the cable system.

It went fine. They did exactly as I wanted and it all worked out. They were prompt and on time. They got the job done. I also had them give an estimate on another job that I kind of wanted to get done but it's something that's very expensive and I've been driving against it anyway. But they were very professional. They came and did the work. They were very neat and clean.
Description of Work: I used the "Big Deal" that I purchased for the services of Harder Electrical & Mechanical. They upgraded a bunch of outlets for grounded outlets.

[member name removed], We strive to make sure our customers have the greatest experience. We noticed that the ‘Overall Grade’ you left at Angie’s List was B. How could we better improve our service for future customers to provide us an A in that category?

Frankie arrived on time the same day I called Harder Electrical. In less than two hours, Frankie had determined the nature of the problem and devised a clever solution to resolve it. Everything is back working properly and at less than what another electrican advised a more extensive repair would costs (his estimate was accurate for the repair method suggested). I appreciated Frankie's finding an alternative method of resolving the problem which was also less intrusive and less expensive than an alternate method suggested by another. I'm very happy with all aspects of this, my first contact with Harder Electrical, and would certainly use again and recommend.
Description of Work: Determined the cause of lack of power in two kitchen electrical boxes - devised a clever method to resolve problem (installed a second GFI receptacle and restored power downline) at half the cost of what I was quoted by another electrician - fixed the problem and restored power..

Frankie showed up right on time. I thought we were just going to get an estimate, but he said he was available right then to take care of our needs. He worked very quickly and answered all of our questions. He charged us only for the time he was there, about an hour and a half. Although I thought that $160 was a lot for an hour and a half (including $10 for the outlets), I have to admit that this is the first time we have ever hired an electrician to do anything, so I'm guessing that's the going rate. Even if it's not, we are very happy with the work he performed. It was minor, but it was something that needed to be done and we didn't feel comfortable trying to do it ourselves. We live in the east mountains and not all contractors are willing to spend the gas money to drive out here. We will definitely be calling on Harder from now on whenever we need electrical work done.
Description of Work: Replaced three outlets and fixed a recessed light.

If you don't hire him, well then you deserve what you get.
Description of Work: Mr Harder was flexible with my work schedule. He met me and explained options and prices. He emailed me promptly a written contract and I hired him to completely convert my condo to refrigerated AC even though my condo has no duct work. I am hiring him again to do other electrical. He saved me five thousand, from another person who was way to high. I am a real customer... Call to ask me ?'s anytime. 975-5634

The work was professionally done with only a couple minor baubles such as drilling through two interior walls accidentally (thus the "B" but a very high "B"). The workers were professional and Dave Harder was very good at explaining things as he went. I would happily use his services again.

Dave Harder inspected our one year old dual use A/C/Heating units (two on the roof) for annual inspection as well as overall check for any obvious problems. I made a poor decision based upon one recommendation that turned out terribly unreliable for the original company that did the installation (not Angie's List much to my regret). Dave said the units were in good shape and when I tried to schedule semi-annual inspections with him he said I would be wasting money to do so since the units are so new and convinced me to do annual inspections. While doing the inspection he noticed the fairly high pitched "squeaking" noise present whenever the A/C was on. The installation company had tried to fix it several times to no solid solution. Dave pointed out that the installation would have been better were an oversized vent shaft used to avoid this type of noise problem. Dave suggested modification of the vent shaft cover to allow more air to filter through available space. He made the adjustments and the noise was gone. When I said I was going to use very high quality filters he pointed out that the idea is to increase air flow and cautioned the filters I was considering might restrict the air flow more than a basic filter. He was right. The fix has eliminated a very annoying problem without having to do major renovation to the new air shaft. I was very pleased with Dave's professionalism and his knowledge. We also received a call back a week or two later from Harder Electric to see if everything with the service call was satisfactory and the system was running fine. I wish I had used Harder Electric for the 26K installation in the first place.
Description of Work: Annual Inspection of two AC/Heating units on roof. Also inspect overall installation as original company had to return several times to make repairs. Fixed "squeaking" noise whenever refrigerated A/C was on.

Dave set an appointment for Donovan to come out two days after I contacted him. I didn't have a problem that required immediate attention so I was definitely plesaed with how quickly I was able to get someone out. Donovan arrived on time and was able to troubleshoot and repair the issue within an hour. He showed me the problems and how to fix them if we were to lose power in the room again. We were expecting a bill much higher than the one we received and were very grateful. Will defnitley use again and recommend to any/everyone.

The new light fixtures went up easily for them. The work on the range hood required changing the size of the existing duct work to match the dimensions of the new range hood, and this was not a problem for them. The installation of the duct work involved carpentry. They worked non-stop and wasted no time. A very nice feature is that they have their own vacuum cleaner and left the kitchen spotless after the range hood installation. For me, this was money well spent. .
Description of Work: Harder Electrical & Mechanical Services came to my home today ON TIME!!! Dave, the owner, and Donovan worked to replace two old light fixtures with new ones. They also replaced an old inefficient range hood that vented into the kitchen with a new efficient range hood that vents to the outdoors.
