I contacted Harder through Yelp.l for a breaker issue. They were able to squeeze us in same day! Will be coming back for our less urgent issue. Amazing responsiveness. Other companies I called days earlier hadn't even returned my call. Have recommended to friends already

Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else. I have been avoiding calling them in regards to some issues they have left a few years back when they replaced our panel. Finally called them and now they want to charge me more for the work they never completed. These people only complain about how difficult the work they are doing when you are… a first time home buyer just looking for help on updating your old house😖. DO NOT ACCEPT VERBAL AGREEMENTS from them. They do not follow through.
And then I get a call back and owner gives me attitude on the phone and hangs up on me(which

First off, no work done.
Wanted electric to shed from house. Discussed work requested and the additional work to be added "if you want a permit."

That was in the summer. Claimed busy with HVAC work, and said I would call.
Called in October, didn't get on schedule until mid-December. Called to confirm a permit the day before, and couldn't be bothered, so work was postponed.
Received a call in the new year and said they couldn't schedule for another 2 weeks. I asked for a revised written estimate as I'd had recent issues with another contractor. The verbal estimate

I was having intermittent furnace issues, after being overcharged a flat rate for basic diagnostic and cleaning from a national company ($220 for 45 min), I called Harder Electrical.

He was able to show up the same day I called, diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly, keeping me up to date as he worked. His rates were very competitive and worked with me on the price.

I would definitely recommend and plan on using his company for any additional plumbing/heating work.

Dave Harder is an honest and dependable guy. Showed up on time and replaced my furnace and hot water vent which had been previously installed incorrectly! They got the job done in about an hours time. Left zero mess and I feel confident that the job is correct. Truly professional! In the future all my HVAC/electrical and mechanical needs will be addressed by Harder Electrical and Mechanical, a company with an owner who cares and employees that are reliable and professional.

I called them out to repair a loud screeching swamp cooler. I had difficulty explaining to the receptionist what was wrong. The service guy could find nothing wrong except that the unit was old & needed replacement (not true-only 6-years old). Naturally the screeching stated again right after he left. Dave came out but by then the motor bearings had seized. He sent serviceman out to replace it. Another company had replaced the motor on out rental next door ( identical unit). Cost was about double this time.

Last week I called about a furnace flue leaking like a sieve in the rain. The receptionist

I requested a quote to convert to refrigerated air and an appointment was set up. A couple hours before the appt I get a voicemail saying there was an emergency with another customer and asking if we could reschedule. Not a big deal. I call back and confirm the new appt for a couple days later.

The day of the new appt, I rush home to make sure I'm there well before the scheduled time. New appt time rolls around and nobody ever shows up. I figured I'd get a call with an explanation and maybe an offer to reschedule again. It has been over a week now and I haven't heard anything

I'm a 3-time returning customer of HARDER ELECTRICAL & MECHANICAL SERVICES - just because they are SO GOOD! This time, I needed a few security cameras installed around my stucco house, plus associated wiring throughout the attic to be set up, and HARDERS responded immediately: Of Course they can Do It! On the scheduled day, they arrived precisely ON TIME, and proceeded to begin working my problem - which was really hard because of my severely cramped attic space. But, they successfully did it within a few hours! Really Impressive. Super tech Tim had no problem crawling through my attic

Dave Harder, the owner, couldn't be a nicer guy. He explained all the options for replacing our 40 year old failing furnace and explained all the advantages and disadvantages of each of them and made a recommendation. I did a little research, called him back and went with his recommendation. Two days later Dave and his employee Tim were doing the install. They were polite, friendly and clean. They both obviously take pride in their work and it absolutely showed in how great the install looks and how warm my house is on this 20 degree night. I will absolutely call Harder Electrical for any

I highly recommend Harder Electric!!
I am so glad I called Dave for the freon leak in my AC. He was able to get out the next day, he was very friendly and confident in his work, explaining everything. He is very thorough in his work. He even took the time to call me later in the day to make sure the AC was running right.
It works like a dream!!!

Last month I moved into a new house and needed to have floodlights installed in the front and in the back. Based on previous YELP reviews, I selected HARDER ELECTRICAL & MECHANICAL SERVICES, and I’m very glad I did! The electrician Tim came out first to scope the job, then came again right on schedule to do the work. He was extremely professional,… skillful, and fully explained any questions I had. He had to remove some drywall to get at the existing circuits, and he was extremely precise in making cuts – and he even cleaned up the dust afterwards. He set up my lights exactly

Hotter than hell New Mexico summer is trying to do push into neighborhood I decided to do preventive AC maintenance. I send message via Yelp quote and Dave called within two hours.

Dave came to home hour early due to his other services ended earlier. He checked both of my AC and replaced one AC control unit.

He also inspected both of my air furnaces and advised me to use different air filters to help me extend life of my AC units.

I had very pleasant conversation about AC, and general topics. I will definitely contact Dave for any future electrical and plumbing needs.

Our thermostat magically broke down one weekend in the cold of winter (meaning no heat). After seeing the reviews on Yelp, I sent Harder an email Sunday night, but did not hear back electronically. So, I called the following Monday afternoon and was surprised to hear that they could fit me into their schedule the very next day at 8 am. The electrician arrived promptly at 8 and fixed our thermostat within a few minutes - holy crapoli - we had heat again!!! I also told him about another problem we were having with our electrical wiring in our pantry/laundry room. Since he was there, he went
