Harbison Electric

Shane Harbison is personable and expert! He explained what he needed to do in layman's terms and is easy to talk to. He did an outstanding job on replacing our very old panel and it works perfectly. He knows his stuff. He is fast. He is fair. He is a nice guy and a Master Electrician. I recommend Shane Harbison at Harbison Electric when you have a problem.

We had an amazing experience with Shane Harbison of Harbison Electric and I can't recommend him enough! He not only came to my mom's home over the weekend after the historic ice storm, but went back and forth to his shop to get parts and worked with PEC in coordinating the repair of a downed power line and remained on site until he was sure it was all in working order. He is not only an expert in his field with years of experience, but a fine human being that showed incredible kindness. Shane is now our entire family's go-to electrician. Thank you Shane!

Shane was great to work with and proved to be experienced and knowledgeable. I had a really difficult problem (electrical short under my floor with no crawl space) and he and his team found a solution that didn't require me to tear up my entire kitchen. He brought a professional crew, they were fast and they were clean. I had to reschedule a few times because of my own conflicts, they were really easy to work with through the whole process.

I highly recommend Shane and team. Give Slate a call to set up an appointment.

I needed an electrician to troubleshoot some potential electrical issues in a commercial building. A good friend recommended Shane, and I could not be happier. He told me his pricing up front, and came out the very next day. He was very thorough, and even did a couple of small fixes for the same price since he was already there. I will contact him again for future needs.

Bottom line: Shane is disorganized, not as experienced as he claims, and unprofessional in his response to criticism. He seems like a nice enough guy but I will never use him again and I would advise anyone that continues to use him (as my friend who referred me to him is doing) that you should only use him for basic simple stuff and know that he has poor follow through.
I used him July 2020 to install recessed lighting on the first floor of my 2 story house. It was only after drilling four holes in the ceiling that Shane realized he could not connect the wires because of the jousts set every 2 feet apart in my ceiling. He remarked that he had never seen a house like mine where I had beams going across every 2 feet. (something I later found out if farily common and shows his lack of experience). He said he would do some research and get back to me.
Meanwhile, I asked for a second opinion by the electrician contracted by the home builder. He told me that if Shane had gone up in the attic, (whicch he never did), he would have realized that I had jousts set every 2 feet and would have then known, up front, that he was going to have to make more holes in the ceiling. The second electrician told me that I would need a minimum of six additional holes to complete my lighting project.
When Shane finally got back to me, he said he had a friend who did dry wall and would reduce his cost for me and that I would need only 3 additional holes that needed repair. I told Shane that I find that hard to believe when the contracted builder's electrician said a minimum of 6 more holes. I told him that I would be willing to continue with him if he could guaranteee that only 3 more holes were needed and he would pay additional cost if more holes were needed.
I never heard back from him. Meanwhile I had 4 recessed lights that were decorative in my ceiling but no function. One of the holes was up against the joust so that I could not rest the recessed light flush against the ceiling so Shane's work had a slightly unfinished look, never mind not functional. I called Shane twice and left a message.
I spoke to a business colleague of his who referred me to him and told her that Shane was unprofessional but if he was not going to charge me, then I would not complain. I just assumed he felt guilty regarding his inexperience and the fact that I was referred by a mutual friend.
Fast forward, ONE YEAR LATER! Shane calls to tell me that his receptionist was going over his books and found several unpaid invoices. I told Shane that I never received an invoice and that he ghosted me. He told me that he never received my calls and I said that does not explain why he would not call to complete his work. He argued that I told him that I did not want him to complete the work. I said this is a case of he said, she said and given that this happened ONE YEAR AGO, both of our memories could be off. He insisted he sent an invoice. I said I never received an invoice and he called me a liar so I told him to find the email he sent me and resend it. He insisted that if I wanted him to finish the job he would come back and do it so he could get paid. I said that I did not like our conversation and was not planning to ever use him again. He called me cheap.
In the end, I paid him for the minor work he did with GFCI outlets and wall timer switches and we agreed he would not bill me for the ceiling work. I could write off his lack of experience and even his lack of organization but I draw the line at his unprofessional ghosting, his name calling and his general lack of willingness to accept his own culpability.

Shane is honest, knowledgeable and does great work. I've used him several times and he is always in my best interest and gives fair pricing with expert work. He is a certified Master Electrician. If you use someone inferior, it puts your house or business at risk of fire, not worth the trouble. I used someone inferior and I'm having to get the work done over again. I'm glad I found someone I can trust.
