Unsupported sub-roof boards following fan install by Nye Electric

I had a Quiet Cool fan installed by Kevin and his son Tyler back in November of 2022. I ran it over the summer of 2023 and noticed that the air was only being drawn into one of the two vents of my WHF-4.0-DG2 Installation. From looking at the venting space within the ceiling I could tell that the second vent port was not getting throughput due to air being sucked through the attic crawl space instead of through the house. At the time of initial installation, Kevin and his son had told me that they had stuffed installation into the attic space such that only minor residual flow would go across the attic and not to worry about it; however, when I looked towards the close of the summer, I saw large gaps of unstuffed flow area. It seemed to me they had run out of insulation and just didn't want to have to purchase anymore to snug up the system. When I called them to repair the job they did I experienced significant trouble trying to schedule with them and on more than one occasion in which Kevin said he would show up he did not. Finally his son Tyler arrived towards the end of the day one day and proceeded to stuff the vent with a woefully inadequate amount of insulation. When the fan was turned on for system testing purposes, a strip of insulation got sucked up into the fan, effectively stalling the fan. They told me that they would handle the RMA process for getting a new motor from Quiet Cool, but after a week of waiting Quiet Cool confirmed that no RMA was filed. In the end, I decided I did not wish to work with Kevin or his son anymore, partially because of the flow issues and damaged fan motor experiences, but mostly because when they installed the fan through my roof, they installed it across a joist and, in doing so, they compromised several boards underneath the roof surface such that if I walked in that area I would have fallen through the roof! The fact that they had left these compromised boards underneath my roof for almost a year really made me lose confidence in their professionalism. I do not recommend these guys for any type of installation on a home or business.

I just used Nye Electric and I have to say they go above and beyond to make the customer happy.  Will use them again.

See all

Can't recommend highly enough. I was left high and dry by my solar installer. Kevin came and got our system online.

I always try to support local small businesses so I reached out to Makena Electric when my kitchen…read morelights needed to be swapped out from the annoying 4 pin tube bulbs to something practical. I reached out on Yelp and felt ZERO need to shop around once Andre quickly answered. You know when you just get a good feeling from someone and you KNOW they will be honest, upfront, and awesome? That was definitely the case here and Andre came out the very next day to take a look at my kitchen. He fixed an ancillary kitchen wall outlet issue for me within a minute, and was able to figure out exactly what lighting my kitchen needed, all while providing me with helpful advice and tips. Andre and Pedro came out the next morning to replace my eight lights and the entire job was done in an expert manner within a couple hours. The cost was incredibly reasonable with no hidden costs or attempts at upselling. I put off getting my lights replaced for months/years because I didn't want to deal with the headache, but this experience was seamless. I'm thrilled that I now officially have my trusty go-to HB electrician who I will contact without thinking twice about whether it will be a good deal or good work. It's just an added bonus that both Andre and Pedro are super friendly and personable, even with my puppy mercilessly shriek-barking at them for daring to enter his territory (sorry again about that!). I highly recommend Makena Electric to anyone and everyone in and around HB!

I contacted 4 electricians but only one replied - Andre at Makena Electric. He responded…read moreimmediately and came out the next day to review my situation (needed a new oven) and discuss what was necessary. My house is older with only a 125A service panel and Andre explained why it was undersized for my existing loads so we decided on an upgrade to 200A panel. Andre provided a quote the next day and, though I had some outstanding issues with getting the new oven which delayed our decision to proceed, he remained responsive until I accepted the quote and arranged the upgrade quickly. Andre took care of everything including all permits and inspections and completed the job quickly with everything getting inspected and bought off in two weeks with most of that time waiting for the city inspection. Andre and his team were professional, friendly and answered all my questions without any problems. I will not hesitate to call Makena Electric for any future electrical needs.
