I called Harris Electric because a neighbor said they are great, and I wasn't disappointed.

Mr. Harris is now our "go to" electrician. I highly recommend his work.

I found Harris Electrical, saw they were a local DC company with great reviews, and decided to reach out. I texted the numbers listed and learned they're brothers, Mike and Max Harris, carrying on the business their dad started. I texted them at 6 a.m. and got an immediate response. They asked for pictures of the breaker and the issue, diagnosed it quickly, and offered same-day service. Communication was incredibly easy and clear, all by text. Max arrived right on time, identified the short, and fixed it efficiently. They were professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and honestly just great to work with. I can't speak more highly of them. This is exactly the kind of trustworthy local business you want in DC. Highly recommend Harris Electrical.

After some initial miscommunications about the job, things didn't quite turn out the way I hoped, but Luis, the company owner came out himself to make sure things were resolved. And even though the scope of the project increased, he insisted on completing the job at the original rate (although I'm not going to let him, because the scope had increased substantially, and that is clearly my own doing). When working with someone new, it's always a toss up on how things will go when unexpected difficulties arise, and I'm very pleased in how Luis does business. Six-stars! UPDATE: the job is done and we are awaiting inspection this week. The pictures speak for themselves. We are extremely satisfied with our Tesla Wall connector Gen 3 installation. Luis went up and over our garage with EMT to get to the nearby panel. He had to upgrade a breaker to a double pole 60A breaker and also had to update the breaker that goes to the subpanel in the main panel to 100A. Tesla had sent us a bad wall connector the first time around and advised us remotely that the electrical work done was perfect and that all power levels were as expected. Luis insisted on coming out himself anyhow to double check everything even though I assured him it was Teslas wall connector. Sure enough the wiring was perfect and when the new wall connector arrived I popped it on and everything worked like magic.

INCOMPETENT, UNORGANIZED, DISHONEST OVERPRICED…read more I AM WARNING YOU TO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. I hired this company for a heavy up and they moved my existing location to my roof blocking the reinstallation of a gutter. This was after failing inspection on their initial installation causing three trips to my house and days without electricity. Incompetent. Trying to contact them is frustrating. The entire company runs through someone working from home who then has to contact someone else to get any answers. Unorganized. They told me Pepco told them to block my gutters which is just a blatant lie. If they told you to put it where the old one was (like they claim) that would not be blocking a gutter. They lied and told me they have a photo of the old one being on the roof. They literally left the old one up. Photo attached. Dishonest. I gave them three attempts to do the inital job correctly and now they lie and throw their hands up leaving me with an $1100 problem after spending over $4k. Overpriced. Incompetent. Unorganized. Dishonest. Overpriced. RUN TO ANOTHER COMPANY!

Would you shop at that store? No, of course not. Well this company does exactly that. They refuse to give you a cost estimate, no matter how basic the job or how detailed you describe the problem, until you pay them $70 to come out to your house. Dear Yelpers, please please do NOT normalize this greedy practice by giving this company or any company that does this your business. They'll say it's a standard industry practice. It is not. There are many honest services out there that offer free cost estimates and don't try to manipulate you to buy their products. They'll also say the fee is to compensate for the time that the technicians spend coming out, but that's just being dishonest. That $70 sure as hell ain't going to the worker. If they're being dishonest before you even hire them, think about what else they'd be dishonest about. Please stay away. I don't want to live in a world where I have to pay money to know how much something costs.

They came the next morning and were able to get everything fixed within about 2 hours. The two were very patient and informative, giving us really good quotes and explaining everything they would be charging us for. They also gave us alternatives that were more affordable to our budget. They had to work in a rather cramped space to reach our breaker and they were very positive about it. Overall, the entire experience was great! This business is one you can definitely trust to take care of your needs. Juan and Danny also made sure to tidy up anything they had to move (as it was in their ways o:) and were very polite and personable in their exchange. They were accommodating to our schedule too! We truly appreciated the help!! Thanks so much! c: Also a lovely note: they offered a year of warranty for just electric! So they are definitely a business that is reliable. 100% will definitely contact them again in case of any electrical concerns!

Although the power had come back on I wanted to ensure there was no issue inside my house (ended up being a Pepco issue). They sent 3 electricians by 7:15am. They worked around some design issues with a built in cabinet partially blocking my electrical box. They let me know that I was missing a surge protector in my electrical box.

I did not want to have to make changes to my house. I wanted to get a system that was compatible with my current set up. He gave me his advice and I ordered a Rheem 36kw tank-less water heater as instructed. He installed it and the next day it blew a fuse. Ok, no biggie. A few days later, it cut off again and would not turn back on. Called in an electrician and it turns out that the plumber didn't know what he was talking about. The fuse in my disconnet box blew because he hooked up the water heater's electrical components dangerously incorrect. The Rheeem he suggested requires 4 double 40 breakers to power it. He hooked it up to 1 double 30 breaker. Of course the system was too strong for the breaker and the wiring. I'm grateful my house didn't catch on fire but now I need to changed the breakers, upgrade wiring, and add additional disconnects to work the system properly. F that plumber. I paid him to avoid this. Enter Mister Electrical to the rescue. The tech came out. He was professional and extremely respectful of my home, even took extra time to make sure he didn't leave a spot behind him. After examining the set up and talking with his senior, the tech said they would take some time to make sure they get it right. He didn't want to give me any misleading information. The Senior plumber, being made aware of my situation, took a few days to go over the manual and my set up to find the best course of action for my problem. After a few days, he came up with a solution to hook it up to 2 double 60 amp breakers and to run it at a lower setting (the normal power settings were far beyond what I could ever use... damn plumber). At the end of the day, I appreciate how Mister Electric took the time to find the best solution to my specific problem. They were always respectful of my home and money. They could have rightfully charged me $5000 to hook it up like the manual basic instruction. But they took the time and effort to learn the system and find a way to save me over $3000 dollars. Integrity is priceless. Call Mister Electrical now.
