Behind the Biz: Hayes Electrical Service

You might be shocked to know that a local electrical business in town cares most about just two things: quality and honesty.

But that's exactly what Hayes Electrical Service is all about. The home-run company, located at 537 D Street Suite B, is owned by husband and wife duo Clive and Melanie Hayes and is a Better Business Bureau accredited business.

The couple have lived in Ramona for six years and do commercial and residential electrical contracting. Hayes Electrical Service was founded in September 2008 and still serves Ramona's electrical needs.

Melanie took some time to talk to Patch about the humble biz and gives residents some crucial advice about electrical safety in your home.

Patch: Why did you choose to start this business in Ramona?

Melanie Hayes: We live here in town and love Ramona.

Patch: What distinguishes your business from others in the same industry?

Hayes: Hayes Electrical Service is a small electrical contractor that is owned and operated by my husband, Clive, and myself. We have great customer service and great rates.

Patch: Any current challenges you face as a business owner?

Hayes: As any small business owner knows, it's hard to get your name out to the public and with the cost of advertising these days its very expensive.

Patch: What's the best business advice you've ever been given?

Hayes: Honesty and good quality work will set you apart from the rest.

Patch: What's the best or safest electrical advice you'd give to Ramonans?

Hayes: It's good to have your main electrical panel in your house inspected every five years.
