Farryn Electric

I’ve called on Farryn on 4 occasions over the past 5 years. In general they’re responsive, easy to work with, reliable and one of the few contractors who will respond to small jobs. Previous call outs have been to install new fittings, but more recently I had an issue with breakers tripping. The breaker box was installed 7 years ago by a different contractor, who did a great job, so I wanted a full diagnosis of the issue. The electrician who was sent out didn’t seem to understand this and first told me it was a breaker issue, quoting me $250 to replace it. I asked him to test the breaker first by swapping it with another that hadn’t been tripping. He did this and then told me that the remedy would involve wiring in a new circuit to spread the load as there was too much draw through the existing circuit. Approx $5000. I called in another contractor to give me a second opinion. It took him 10 minutes to figure out that a dirty AC window unit was the culprit and needed cleaning around the compressor and condenser. I did this and the problem has been solved for $30 in spray foam cleaner. I’d recommend Farryn for new install type work, but my experience with fault diagnosis was poor and could have been unnecessarily expensive.

Our entire electrical system was acting strange when it came back after a brief blackout. Our entire house is on electric and we have a solar system as well which complicates the system a bit. Sam came out within hours and diagnosed the problem which was a big one that could have been very dangerous. Due to the time it would take and the need for parts it couldn't be fixed until the next day but Sam set us up with a temp fix so we could have heat and some critical systems. He came back the next morning and did a wonderful job. He communicated throughout the process and was polite and pleasant as were the other 2 men with him. I couldn't be happier with the service and the experience.
