Very well. I had previously been told that the room with the electricity problem might have to be completely rewired which would have been quite expensive. However, the electrician from Harder found the problem and fixed it--all within my Angie's Big Deal price. He was very professional and did an excellent job.
Description of Work: The electrician found the problem with room in my house that lost electricity; located and replaced electrical outlets that needed replacement; removed an old ceiling light fixture on 12' ceiling and put plate over hole as requested.

Dave arrived to give me an estimate on Friday. I was fortunate that they were able to fit me in the following Monday morning, perhaps because the work entailed was not extensive. They arrived promptly at the appointed time and the work was done within a couple of hours. I was quite pleased with the final result.
Description of Work: I wanted to have a line outside my house encased in conduit for aesthetic reasons prior to having stucco work done. Although it was a small job, I was impressed with the courtesy, professionalism and punctuality with which Dave and Donovan approached the work. Some contractors I have contacted in the past do not want to "waste their time" with smaller jobs, not seeming to realize that they are building goodwill when opportunities for more extensive work arises in the future. Obviously, Dave does not share this view, so I am not surprised that he gets rave reviews from Angie's List. Not only will I be recommending this company to friends, I will also be contacting them again for any electrical work I need going forward. They were great! I know that any of your subscribers who choose to go with them for electrical work---large or small---will not be disappointed.

Outstanding. Absolutely no problems, no reason t o call back, they did a great job.
Description of Work: He evaluated my electric service for my hobbies, told me is so far out of date, he could not do anything with it. The old service was a very large fire hazzard and should be replaced. I agreed. He replaced the main box additional power. He and his assistant did an excellent job accomplishing everything I ask for in very short order. Everything I ask for was accomplished and done very professionally, quickly and in a very short time. He and his staff work hard, steady and with very little time off to visit. They did an excellent job for us. I rate them as outstanding and a great organization to do business with..

My husband works out of town. Nothing ever breaks until he leaves and now I feel like I have a person that I can trust in Dave Harder.
Description of Work: I was getting estimates for central AC to be installed into our home. Our heater had been making a wierd sound for three years, several service people had looked at it. Not one of them could fix it. Dave looked at it and tried several things to fix it. He also gave us an estimate on AC also. The heater quit working the next night. Dave came that day and was able to not only fix it but also get rid of the loud sound. What a guy. He has all of our business from now on.

We had an appointment for 1:30 but Dave called and asked if he could come earlier. We settled on 11:30. He was on time, very personable & clean cut. He seemed to know about the furnaces and completed his work in short order. I did not feel rushed. He was very responsive to questions and also helped us change batteries and program thermostats. He did not leave a mess and made sure we had no more questions before leaving. I was able to pay him with a credit card which was convenient for me and I'm going to have him do my house in about a week. This was just the first service with this company but I am very satisfied so far. It's great to know he does electrical work also because I have a few projects that need doing around the home that he can take care of while he is here.
Description of Work: We had Dave from Harder Mechanical come out to perform seasonal HVAC/Heating service on my daughter's rental home. The home has a swamp cooler, two glass floor furnaces and a gas wall heater.

Please see the above paragraph.
Description of Work: My project was to have a Generac 13KW standby generator installed at my house.This project was complicated because , my gas- meter is on the opposite side of the house as the electric- service.I checked out the reference of, Harder Electric and Mechanical (505-281-4807), on Angies list. "Dave" Harder was exactly the solution to my project. He is well-grounded and down-to-earth. As we worked through the challenges, I found that Dave always had a practical solution. He is driven by making results and not excuses and understands the principle of producing, "value -for-your-money".. Also he insists that high quality components/parts be utilized during all phases of his workmanship.The Generac 13KW generator worked flawlessly. His crew is well tuned and are exceptionally proficient in all phases of the construction business. They also perform a complete clean-up . As for my house- dogs ,no-problems ,they are pet people too. I feel that I was extremely fortunate to of hired Dave Harder and his crew! I would highly recommend them for any electrical/ mechanical project.They did an Excellent Job for Me.

David Harder was very professional, and very helpful. He discussed options and ended up providing quote for several different options. His prices were reasonable and there was follow-up all along the way. We were very impressed and would definitely contact Harder Electrical & Mechanical for any future work that needed to be done, and would recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC services.

We had spoken with Dave Harder last year for quote. This spring we made the decision to move forward with this purchase and installation. My husband bought the unit outright and called Dave for a date for installation. Dave is and always has been MORE than punctual! If he says 8:30, count on him at 8:15! We set the time and date and Dave and his crew of 2 were there. They started on Thursday and completed all work on Tuesday. They were a pleasure to have in our home. They were always courteous and made sure when they were cutting drywall or doing any work in the attic, that things anything that could be harmed or soiled, were completely covered with tarps or cardboard. They worked great as a team effort. When the job was complete, Dave walked through the entire process with me, explaining what they had done and why. He programmed the new thermostat and explained it. They placed the old master cool and gas furnace in a place where it would be easy for us to show them for sale. They cleaned up all debris and took metal to recycle. This was a very pleasant experience, which is always difficult when you lose electricity for most of one day and lose gas for several hours. They made the entire process seamless!
Description of Work: Removal of 2 evap coolers and furnace. Installation of gas pack, including installation of upgraded electrical panel, duct work, return air vents, thermostat.

Dave Harder, the owner, came out to my home on 01/13 and after answering all my questions and providing his recommendation gave me a written estimate. I reviewed it and agreed to go ahead with the installation. He and his crew arrived 01/17 and did the job. They were prompt, efficient, and friendly. They kept me up-to-date on what they were doing and why. When they finished they checked the unit out and cleaned the areas they worked on. I was very impressed overall with the job they did. The thermostat that was installed with the unit later failed and Dave came out on a Sunday and replaced it. Another problem occurred afterward and Dave came out with the Heil rep and a Heil technician. They jointly tested every component and found the problem and fixed it. They were quite helpful in explaining exactly what they were doing and why to remediate the problem. Now it is working properly and no other problems have arisen. Dave is very conscientious and accommodating, more so than any other electrician I have had experience with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Arrived on time and did a great job quickly. Would have been only $99 for 2 hours of work but hardware store had me buy all the wrong stuff so I needed to buy all the items for new outlet from them. He did all the work in less than an hour so I would certainly be wiling to pay regular rate.

My father attempted to replace my broken doorbell... the combination of wires and a drill resulted in the need for professional assistance. A friend recommended Harder. I called on a Monday and was scheduled for Thursday (I indicated that I was not in any hurry at all). James arrived on time. He was friendly, but professional, and he was nice to my dog. He fixed both the door bell and a fried outlet very quickly and both now work perfectly. The estimate James provided for additional work was much less than an estimate received from another company for less work. He said he could do the work I requested, but suggested a more affordable alternative that will work better than what I thought i wanted. Summary: James was fast, friendly, and fixed what was broken. The estimate he provided was for a more affordable and effective alternative than what I requested. I highly recommend Harder Electric (and James) as an honest company that gets the job done right.
