The workers acted like they did't care. They left a big mess. Changed the electrical panel and left half the breakers on and unmarked. changed the main breaker and broke the lock on the outside meter and left it on the ground. Called the supervisor to take care of it. He made up reasons to NOT take care of it. Had to fix everything myself!!

Again, we apologize that you did not feel that our services were not up to your expectations. We unfortunately cannot please every customer. Customer service is incredibly important and efforts were made to resolve customers complaints.

Bruce Hare and his helper have always and consistently been top notch and awesome. They have always been super friendly and I always felt they were super honest and always charged a very honest and reasonable cost for each task. I only had to stop using Hare Electric when I moved away from the area and now I am searching for a new electric company with the same honesty, expertise, dedication to customer service, and reasonable cost as Hare Electric. Sadly, I am only permitted to give Hare Electric 5 stars. If I could, I'd give them 100 stars.
Description of Work: Han dumerous electric tasks done by Bruce Hare over the years. Just a few of the many things he did for me include a electrical panel upgrade, CAN light installation in several rooms, Ceiling fan installation in several rooms and other things.

Hare Electric worked for us in September, 2020. There were several smaller tasks (interior and exterior outlets added) and one large one, which was to upgrade our breaker panel to accommodate 200-amp service. The work was completed on time at a reasonable cost but we had a partial outage earlier this winter, during a storm, caused by their work 18 months ago. Importantly, the outage caused a loss of power to the furnace, both refrigerators and our freezer, and of course lighting in places. According to our electrical provider, who came to the house eight hours later, the issue was caused by "burnt up contractor connections" (notes from the outage ticket) which was the result of the installation work done by Hare Electric. The provider’s on-site tech said that one of the three connector points at the meter masthead was loose because it was never crimped, and lost connection. Also he said the work was never inspected by the Illuminating Company, or they would have found it before happened. I called Hare’s emergency-contact number at the beginning of the outage and did get a call back from the lead tech, who believed it was a provider issue. After the fact, when I sent an email to the company owner explaining the situation I never heard a word, and that was five weeks ago.

Hired to upgrade electrical system at my daughter / son-in-law's recently purchased home. Work included running a 220 line to basement for dryer, installing a larger sub-panel with additional circuits, adding multiple new outlets in various locations around the house, grounding some existing outlets and adding GFCI units. They arrived on the work dates promised, and were timely in responding to my email / text communications and completed all aspects of the requested work.

Needed an old Federal Pacific Electric box replaced and some 3 prong outlets converted to 2-prong (our 100-year-old house did not really have grounded wiring). Hare Electric came in and did the work after I had moved out. Couldn't verify the work myself but it must have been solid, as the house sold soon thereafter :)

We claimed a promotional deal 5/3/21. That was ten days ago. STILL waiting for that promised call back with an actual appointment. Too busy? Great, but at least let a potential client know definitively. Service is no longer needed.

Hello, I’m very sorry for the inconvenience. My grandfather was put in hospice and my father the owner had to go help and in addition the app we use had a big update and we were having trouble with the technology. Unfortunately you were lost in our confusion and we are deeply sorry for that. Best Wishes

Was a shaky start with a miscommunication BUT very happy with outcome. Once project started Gary was very clear on each step making sure I was happy with the result. I felt like he wanted to make sure we were happy with outcome. I really appreciated his patience and diligence getting the projects complete. Would hire again.

The workers were on time and got right to work. They were so through, showing me where any light switches were located. The lights in the backyard look great now that they are on. The fans look so good and are just like I wanted. I am so happy that I called Hare Electric and will call them for further jobs. Thanks Hare Electric, Parma Hts.

It is nice to feel like you have service professionals you can trust: that is what I believe I have in this crew. They came out for an electrical inspection. Based on the time spent, they were very thorough. Also, they had a great way of explaining things to let me know what was wrong and right with my electrical system. They answered my questions and were honest in evaluating my upgrade suggestions so not to provide unnecessary services. I would use these guys again without hesitation.
