$195 bill for ten minutes of work. Very unprofessional as far as billing and customer service. I was given no estimate of time or cost. The technician was great at his job. He diagnosed the problem in 5 minutes and fixed it in ten. He had to move a single wire on the outlet from "load" to "line." That was it. Ten minutes. The technician also refused to tell me what the cost would be for the work. When I called, the woman I spoke with told me that "the computer" had somehow mysteriously overcharged me for 1.5 hours of labor instead of 1 hour. Oops. They charge a minimum of 1 hour for any service (although there is no mention of this on their website and they certainly don't tell you this up front when you call.) Bottom line: I am still being billed $135 for ten minutes of work and no parts. read more

Great work, responsive, nice people. I would hire them again. Great job .....................................

Our water heater conked out and when the plumber came to replace it, he told me that I needed to have the wiring corrected before it could be hooked up. I called 4 electricians around McMinnville and could not get an appointment for 1-2 weeks out until I contacted Farnham. They scheduled an appointment for the next day but due to a cancellation they actually came out on the day the new water heater was installed. Really impressed with the electrician. He fixed the wiring issue and we have hot water. Thankful we didn't have to wait a week or two for a hot shower! Highly recommend Farnham. read more

We are so fortunate to have found Farnham Electric. We moved from Minnesota, and we found it difficult to find an electrician. When we called two different electricians in McMinnville, we were told how busy they were, and we would have to put on a list. Unfortunately, the list never called back. Since back in our Minnesota home, we were known as quick payers. We never had trouble getting an electrician, plumber or contractor. Farnham Electric not only arrived on time, but he was courteous and professional. read more

I've used them twice. Once recently and they did fine job. Years ago I used them and the electrician was a dud. I went in and complained and the owner was pretty amazing. I said your electrician charged me $50 after he was asked to leave because he ignored simple instructions. The owner returned my money and added another $50. Impressive to say the least. read more

It is always difficult to decide who to use when you have electrical problems in your home so I looked through some paperwork of the previous owners and found an invoice from Farnham Electric. Took the plunge, called and an appointment was made within 3 business days. Tim showed up and WOW, what a great electrician. He didn't waste any time in tracing the issue and was thorough in ensuring some sloppy work done by the previous owner was corrected and left not only resolving the issue but ensuring safety and code was met in the areas he was working. He didn't mind me watching and asking questions and was patient in answering my questions. Thanks Farnham for hiring Tim....He's a keeper! read more

We had one little job to be done. We wanted power to my new shed. It's 20 feet from the house. Jim and a friend dug the ditch. Travis came out and gave us a bid for $1125. He didn't go up in the attic (like he said they would have to do), and my husband agreed to be the grunt and help the guy they sent out. Sean came out to do the job, and found a much easier way to do it, and he was only here 3.5 hours. We still got billed for $1125. We went to the company to discuss the bill. Everyone there was very nice until Travis came out in a very loud voice telling us that he gave us a bid/estimate, and we signed it, and we owed it. Even though it took a fraction of the time he thought it would, and my husband was the grunt. WTH? Travis said it was NOT time and materials, but I just kept telling him that we did not know that, and he should have told us. Like anyone else, we thought that the $1125 bill would be the highest price. We did get the cost of the project lowered by $300, but he made sure to tell us that he would add in his time coming up to give us a FREE estimate. And guess what?! We came home, read everything they gave us, and it said TIME and MATERIALS. Be very, very careful if you use this company. Make sure you have everything in writing and if it IS time and materials (like most companies do), or is it just a flat price regardless. This company has been in business in McMinnvlle Oregon for many years. I picked it because it has a high rating. What a shock to learn that they are thieves and liars. We are going to go back just to see what he has to say when we confront him with the "time and materials" that the job was supposedly priced at. He's a bully, and should never be dealing with people. read more

We had an issue with our circuit breakers and lost electricity to half of the house.We started making calls and quickly found that this time of year is a busy season. Farnham Electric was the only company that could have an electrician here within a week. Later on the same day, the electrician called and had a cancellation. He came out and was able to fix the issue quickly. We will definitely use Farnham Electric again. read more
