**When I called, he even suggested a way for me to see if I can self fix the issue, instead of coming down to charge me for something small.
VERY IMPRESSED! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

For the past 2 years I have used H and R electric at both my home and at my place of business. Hadar and his guys are always courteous, prompt, and most importantly, do a great and thorough job! The pricing is always fair, and the one or two times I have had to call him back with a question the response has been immediate. I wouldn't take my business anywhere else, and I highly recommend!!

Hadar was scheduled to come by between 1 and 2pm. Shortly after 2pm he called to cancel, saying a more important customer needed him urgently, and offered to reschedule for another day.

To people like me, who are also in a service-oriented business, here's how that should have been handled:

1) If we're experienced, then we should be able to provide accurate service windows to our clients; estimate conservatively if needed. In today's world, people are juggling many things, and often schedule entire days around such appointments, as I - a single father - did. I couldn't do it another day. Certainly don't wait until AFTER the appointment window to cancel.

2) Because I'm also a business owner, I'm more understanding than most about the need to prioritize a better-paying, long-standing customer over a new one. HOWEVER, all clients are valuable, and when you're canceling last-minute and inconveniencing a client, you are heavily in debt to that client, and must strive to make it up to them. You do this by:

3) Offering to come by after the emergency job, or offering to send out another company/tech to do the work. Perhaps you offer to do the job for free on another day. There are a million ways to acknowledge your failure and make it right in a way that's convenient to the CLIENT; not to you. Had Hadar done any of those things, he likely would've gotten a customer for life, as that is exactly the sort of ""put the client first"" attitude which guarantees loyalty and a good reputation.

Hadar might be a competent electrician, but he's also in the BUSINESS of being an electrician, and here has failed, on the most basic level, to treat a customer with the proper value and respect; it would have been easy to do so. As it turned out, the job went to another electrician who was himself competent, had finished his day and was on his way home, but turned around and came by anyway. That's the key; that's the moment he said my business was truly valuable to him. He put MY needs first. He'll be getting my calls from now on.

Remember: as clients, we don't get what we deserve, we get what we accept. I provide this review in hopes that the reader remembers that they're valuable, and that Hadar learns they are, too. You do whatever you must to keep them happy.

Upgrade and install new flash mounted 200-amp main meter box, including all necessary grounding counductors and breakers. Open stucco in order to install new flash mounted meter box, repair all stucco damage when installation is done and repaint. Wire and install new 220 volt dedicated appliance circuits with separate breakers, 30 amp. for oven and 40 amp. for stove.

We called H&R because of the good reviews the company had in Angie's list.Our house was built in 1952 and the electrical panel was not in the best condition. Hadar (the company's owner) came, gave us an estimate and also coordinate the permits with Southern California Edison. During this period all communication with the company was through email: Rebecca was always very responsive and pleasant in her responses.
We got in touch with a previous client of H&R who had similar work done and who was very positive about the experience.
Hadar gave us a schedule for the work to be done: first day we would not have power but at the end of the day temporary connections would be already be in place . Then the second day they would do the stucco repair and finally the painting. Everything went according to the program. The first day a crew of two people (George and Oscar) did all the work and the second day Hadar and George completed the labeling of the circuit breakers as well as all the patching. During the first day an extra connection was done for the refrigerator so we did not have any problem with the frozen food (it was a very nice detail).
Finally, Hadar scheduled the inspection with the LA County Building and Safety Division. Since our house is in an unincorporated part of LA County near Westchester, the regulations are stricter. When the inspector came, he said that an extra grounding was necessary. It was done by Hadar for no extra charge. We passed the final inspection without problem.
The final schedule with Edison was also done by Hadar. Two workers of Edison came to make the final connection of the new panel to the general electrical power source.
Two extra projects were the installation of two new circuit breakers for oven and stove (before both appliances were in the same circuit, which caused several problems) as well as the installation of a surge protector for the oven whose electronic parts are very sensitive to power surges.
Total was $3,650. We paid 1/3 at the beginning of the work, 1/3 when work was completed and the final 1/3 when the LA County inspector gave the final OK.

Hadar, the owner of H&R Electric, and all of his electricians that work for him that he sends on his behalf are so honest, knowledgeable, diligent, trustworthy, ethical and are masters at their craft. I always have such peace of mind that their work is done masterfully.

My husband and I used H&R Electric earlier this year on a job to completely re-wire our 72 year old house and, in addition, had them add many outlets, light fixtures and outside lighting and motion detectors. The job was done efficiently and meticulously.

We moved to Torrance recently, and rented a house without air conditioning. We bought three portable air conditioning units, one for each bedroom. Unfortunately, the current electrical circuits could not support them all being turned on at once, so the electricity would shut off for the whole house. We knew who to call to solve the problem--Hadar.

Today, Hadar sent two of his expert electricians out to our house, and they quickly went to work and, like magic, they solved the problem by creating a circuit for each air conditioner. We ran all three at once to test it, and of course they worked perfectly.

No matter what your electrical problem is, Hadar will solve it. You will have peace of mind knowing all the work is done properly. Don't hesitate to call him for any electrical need...you will be glad you did.

Excellent service, esp when I had to call them back to return on a Sat. They were accommodating, friendly, and willing to explain the problem in plain English.

honest and reasonable. I own rental properties and things break. if I have electrical problems, they have always come and done the job in a way that makes the most sense from an economical and logical standpoint. they are very straightforward.

H&R Electric gets 5 stars from me!! They gave me an estimate over the phone what I wanted done, adding multiple motion sensors around the property, fixing outlets, adding outlets, etc. Then when they came I ended up changing the order on the fly removing a lot of the work and they were very accommodating. As they were working I found more and more issues I wanted addressed. It's a new property so as I walk through the property I find switches or outlets that don't work or where I want new GFI or regular outlets added in. In the end I did more work than I originally requested for over the phone.

Their prices are very fair. They didn't rush to get the job done and were willing to come back out another day to finish the job and do it thoroughly and correctly. Was working with the owner Hadar and he was very nice and respectful. I kept asking to look at this plug or change this switch while he was in the middle of working and he remembered everything and didn't miss any work item.

They of course had to cut away at some places and their patch job was excellent. My walls are smooth in some areas and stucco-like/textured in others and he was able to match it perfectly. They brought tarps and picked up all the mess and swept up everything.

I did notice one light switch had a tiny dimmer next to it and was replaced without a dimmer. I asked him about it and it wasn't because he didn't notice there was a dimmer, but because of a space/shallow issue with the outlet. He is willing to find a solution for it and even make another trip out to my place just to fix that switch this weekend. I would definitely use them again you won't be disappointed!!

Hadar was a pleasure to work with. He added recessed lighting to my new condo in the living room and in the kitchen. He added new light boxes to rooms that had no light fixtures, and he fixed my fuse box.
I had many estimates from other Electricians and he came in with the best estimate and he did great work. It was easy to schedule the work, and it was done quickly and of the highest quality.
I definitely recommend working with H & R Electric.
