Harris Electric Service, Inc. brings over 73 years of experience to residential, commercial and agricultural clients across Southern York County in Pennsylvania and Harford and Baltimore Counties in Maryland. We have seen how easily an overlooked electrical problem turns into a safety risk or an expensive disruption, so this page exists to give you clear answers and let you move forward with confidence.
General Electrical Services
What types of electrical services do you offer?
Installations, repairs and inspections. That runs from adding kitchen lighting or upgrading a panel through to running wiring for a detached shop or barn.
Do you work on both residential and commercial properties?
Yes — homeowners, businesses and multi-unit properties alike, plus agricultural clients. Whether it is a salon, an apartment complex or a private house, we scale the work to the property.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Every technician on the team is fully licensed, insured and trained to current safety standards.
Emergency Electrical Services
Do you offer 24/7 emergency service?
Yes. We are on call day and night. A strange smell, a sudden outage or visible damage all warrant a call straight away.
How quickly do you respond?
It depends on your location and how many calls are open, but urgent situations go to the front of the queue and we get a licensed electrician to you as soon as we can.
What should I do if the power goes out?
Start at the breaker panel. If the cause is not obvious, or you notice buzzing or a burning smell, stop there and call a professional.
Generator Installation and Service
Do you install standby generators?
Yes. We fit whole-home standby generators that keep heating and cooling, refrigeration, sump pumps and other essentials running through an outage.
What brands do you support?
We service several reliable brands and are a Generac Authorized Dealer. If you already have a preference we will work with it, otherwise we will suggest a model sized to your usage.
How often should a generator be maintained?
Once a year, professionally. A generator is like a vehicle — it needs regular attention to be dependable the day you need it.
Tesla Wall Connector Installation
Do you offer EV charging solutions?
Yes. We are a Tesla Certified Wall Connector Installer and we also fit other EV charging equipment for homes and businesses.
Agricultural and Outdoor Electrical Services
What outdoor electrical work do you take on?
Wiring, installation and repair for barns, irrigation pumps, grain dryers, well pumps and yard lighting. Outdoor work gets components chosen to survive outdoors.
Do you handle well pump systems?
Yes. We make sure rural water systems run on properly protected, long-lasting electrical components.
Safety and Code Compliance
Is your work up to code?
Yes. We follow current Pennsylvania and Maryland codes, including circuit sizing, labelling and safety requirements.
How can I tell if my wiring is outdated?
Breakers that trip, outlets that feel warm, lights that dim and older wiring types are all signals. We inspect thoroughly and only recommend replacement where it is genuinely needed.
What safety procedures do you follow on site?
Lockout devices, insulated tools, proper detection equipment and step-by-step testing — plus keeping the work area clean and telling you what is happening as we go.
Quotes, Scheduling and Service Areas
How do I get a quote?
Call the office or send the contact form. A technician follows up with questions and books a visit if one is needed to price the job accurately.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes, for most standard work. If a project is complex or it is an emergency call-out, we go over any charges with you beforehand.
Where do you work?
Southern York County, Pennsylvania, and Harford and Baltimore Counties in Maryland — towns, rural properties and everything in between.
Guarantees and Customer Support
Is your work covered by a warranty?
Yes. We stand behind what we install. The specifics depend on the materials and the scope of the job, and we make that clear up front.
What if I am not happy with the results?
Tell us. If something is not right we come back and put it right.
How do I give feedback or arrange follow-up work?
Phone, email or the contact form — whichever is easiest. We read all of it.
