The Verdict

Hale Electric fixed problems for free that other contractors would have billed hundreds for. We found two separate cases where technicians arrived, diagnosed an issue the homeowner had overestimated, and walked away without charging a cent. That kind of integrity shows up in the work quality metrics too. Nineteen reviews mentioned solid workmanship, and project management scored perfectly across 16 mentions. The team handles everything from EV charger hookups to permitted 220V installations, and they show up when they say they will. In one case, a kitchen lost power on New Years weekend. The homeowner called Tuesday morning at 8am, and by 10am the breaker issue was solved at no cost. They even donated a full lighting system repair to a local nonprofit theater, tracking down faulty dimmer packs, pulling the equipment, coordinating the fix, reinstalling it, and testing every circuit. (When the theater asked for a bill, they got a handshake.) The only concern: with dozens of reviews, we saw just one negative comment about workmanship and one about support, so problems do occasionally surface.

If you want an electrician who won't inflate a simple breaker fix into a big-ticket repair, Hale Electric is worth the call. They may not be the fastest to scale if demand spikes, but their track record suggests you'll get honest diagnostics and clean work.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Jenny H.
YelpMar 24, 2022

Jenny H. hired the company to wire a backyard spa and install an EV charger, a pair of upgrades for her home that needed reliable electrical work. Two technicians showed up right on time, friendly and clearly knowledgeable, completed the installations at what she called a fair price, and left everything working. A few days later she realized the problem was caused by user error; the crew came back out without complaint and handled the fix with patience and understanding. What stayed with her was that the same team handled both jobs professionally and even returned to correct a simple mistake, taking the hassle out of the whole process.

Aku O.
YelpJan 8, 2023

Aku O. discovered one kitchen wall — the circuit powering the stove and microwave — had gone dead over the New Year’s weekend. They checked the fuse box, found a tripped breaker they couldn’t reset, and called Hale Electric at 8 a.m. on Tuesday (Monday had been a holiday). By 10 a.m. Shawn had arrived, diagnosed the simple issue, and fixed it gratis, far below the “hundreds of dollars” Aku had braced for. The relief was immediate: fast response, clear communication, and an honest, no-surprise outcome. What lingered wasn't just the speed but that a brief service call turned into a free, ten-minute fix — the detail that made the whole experience memorable.

Gary D.
YelpJan 22, 2023

At Theatre 29, the non-profit community theater, a sudden lighting glitch left circuits dropping out and onstage fixtures flickering during rehearsals and performances. Gary D. watched that steady erosion of production quality and, suspecting failing dimmer packs, couldn't find a local source to fix or replace them. Owner Eric and lighting specialist Shawn from Hale Electric showed up, tracked down the faulty gear, removed the dimmer packs and helped arrange their repair. They came back after the work was done, reinstalled the units and methodically traced every lighting circuit to confirm the stage lights behaved as they should. When Gary asked for a bill, Eric offered a smile and a handshake instead — the team donated their time and expertise to keep the community theater running.

What You Can Expect

Gary W.
YelpNov 7, 2025

Gary W. discovered his main breaker had failed on his water well service and called Hale. He found their communication and responsiveness set the standard: Chelsea arranged for Eric and Shawn to arrive the same day, they assessed the problem on site, and came back the following morning to complete the repair. He appreciated that the office and the technicians did exactly what they said they'd do, and the quick, named-team response is what stuck with him.

Kimberly B.

After calling about service, Kimberly got a crew out the very next day. She found the office staff professional and friendly on the phone, and Shawn handled communication throughout — timely, clear, and reassuring. The fast response and straightforward updates made scheduling painless, so she plans to use them again for future work. The detail that lingers: a next‑day on‑site visit paired with one person who kept her informed every step of the way.
