I start by asking what happened and when: after a storm, when an appliance runs, at random. Then I test, find the fault and tell you in plain words what needs to be done.
What I look at
- Outlets and switches that stopped working
- Breakers that trip or will not reset
- Lights that flicker or dim
- Loss of power in part of the house
What to send for a quote
Tell me what is happening and since when, and send a photo of the electrical panel with the door open if you can. If you smell burning or see scorch marks, switch that breaker off and leave it off until it has been checked.
I cover Salisbury
My base is Malden and I cover every town within 50 miles. Salisbury (Essex County) sits 30.8 miles north of Malden.
Most jobs start with a message: tell me what is going on, add a couple of photos, and I come back with a clear estimate. I am available Monday to Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM.
