Harte Electric

I hired Harte Electric to replace the electrical panel box that was found to be rusted during the inspection process of my townhouse which was under contract for sale. Initially, I was concerned as the quoted price was $ 1,000 less than three other quotes I had for the work. I soon realized that the other quotes were to replace all of the breakers, which were fully functioning and not damaged, and thus intentionally trying to drive up the price. Harte Electric performed all of the electrical work requested, including pulling permits from the city and passing inspection (this was understandably important to the buyers). Even though I live out of state and thus was trying to manage this from afar, it was a seamless process to work with Jim and his staff and I’m pleased to say the sale of my home has gone through!

I contacted Harte Electric to install the electrical for my hot tub. Although I had a hard time getting a hold of them by phone (busy tones and other phone errors), they were very responsive to the online form. They responded promptly and provided a quote without having to come out and look at the tub, which is awesome.
The electrician knew local building code requirements and showed a strong interest in following them, which is an appreciated upgrade from some contractors I’ve spoken with, who incorrectly say they don’t get permits because the permit department is difficult to work with (I’ve gotten stuff permitted and it’s really easy; the permit department is easy to work with).
The electrical «looked» well-​done (I’m not an electrician so it’s hard to say), but they did break the outside paneling of the hot tub and screwed the electrical down into the concrete, which I would have preferred they did not do, as if we ever decide to move the hot tub, we’ll be left with a hole in the concrete.
Overall not a bad choice. They were prompt/​responsive, got the job done and followed building codes.
