Firefly Electric and Solar

Our experience with Ryan Harelson/Firefly Electric was and continues to be extremely negative. After being hired to replace a residential electrical panel and being paid approximately half of the total cost as a deposit, a series of unprofessional actions occurred that led to our dismissing him as our contractor. These included erroneously stating that the new panel could remain in the existing location, unnecessarily directing us to move an existing water line at our cost to accommodate the new panel, failing to inform us that a tree would need to be significantly trimmed, multiple cancelling/re-scheduling of the proposed work, and demanding additional money. SRP conducted a pre-work inspection and stated that the panel would need to be moved approximately 20 feet from its current location, and that the relocated water line done at Harelson’s direction was still not within SRP standards. Harelson stated that he consulted with SRP but they would not tell him if the panel needed to be moved; he recommended that we simply install it in the current location against the SRP directive, and "see" if it would pass final inspection. He said that if it was not acceptable to SRP it would be an additional $3,000.00 to move the panel afterward. After all this, Harelson then requested additional money to begin the work, in direct contravention of the contract, which stated that the remainder was due after all work had been completed. At this point we lost confidence in Harelson/Firefly Electric, and hired another contractor to finish the job. The new contractor had no problem coordinating with SRP, and immediately found that the panel would need to be moved. After requesting a return of our deposit from Harelson and being denied, we filed a lawsuit and won a judgment for the entire deposit plus expenses. During the course of the legal proceedings we found that the statutory agent listed for Firefly Electric is non-existent, and the business location listed on the company website is also not correct; however, Firefly Electric still shows these false listings. The lawsuit resulted in multiple mandatory court appearances, one of which Harelson did not show for and another at which he was obviously impaired, to the point that the judge asked if he had a drink before court that morning. Also, discovery in the court action revealed that Harelson has one account for both his business and personal expenses. Despite the judgment in our favor, a court-directed payment plan, and approval to garnish assets, Harelson has refused to pay and has repeatedly stated that he is filing for bankruptcy. There are many electrical contractors in the Phoenix area; our recommendation is to select one that does not list false business information, is not currently in debt to former clients, and is not filing for bankruptcy.

Firefly Electric did an amazing job. I will recommend them to friends & family, and will be using them again for any electrical work that I need at my home (I had used them for a rental property I own). If you're looking for a company for electric work look no further! They are worth the (short) wait, as they are busy for a reason! Not pushy at all for quotes and explain what could impact price. Very reasonable pricing for extremely high quality work. Trevor was awesome; friendly while remaining professional. Most importantly, though, honest, efficient and effective completing high quality work. Answered any questions I had, showed me anything I needed to see, and confirmed with me before leaving that the work that was requested had been completed to my liking, as well as double- checking with me that he had cleaned up properly. Top notch service!

Replaced two GFCI outlets. Professional, thorough, did a great job at a fair price. Highly recommend. It's one year later and I need an electrician. Called Firefly and they went out of their way to help solve my electrical problem. Courteous, friendly, professional, and unexpected next day follow up to make sure all was repaired. Can't say enough positive about this company.

Ryan came out to install some exterior lighting and security cameras at our house. He was fantastic! He got the job done quickly, was polite, and made sure that everything was working properly before he was finished. It’s always great when the owner of the company maintains his skills by doing work in the field and meeting customers face to face. Thank you Ryan and Firefly Electric! We will definitely use you again the future.

I used Firefly Electric for the first time today and the experience was the best I've had. Ryan was responsive and on time. He immediately found my issue and fixed it within the 15 minutes. Before contacting Firefly, I had George Brazil out and they didn't diagnose my issue correctly and gave me a quote for $3,000. Using Ryan and Firefly, I found the issue was only a $125 and 15 minute fix. I highly recommend them. Thank you again!

Everyone at this company has been top notch to work with from the scheduler to the technician. Gabriel is an excellent troubleshooter, knowledgeable, honest and super efficient! Firefly Electric will be our first call moving forward! Thank you for a job well done!!

Excellent job done by Dionatae, and Ryan provided competitive pricing and was very responsive and reliable. And we didn't have to wait too long to get the project done. I just LOVE the new can lights in our living room! The positioning is just PERFECT, I would never have able to come up with that perfect lay out no matter how many HGTV home renovation shows I watch everyday! I am so very happy! Great job guys! You are the dream team, keep it up!
