Electrical Problems Can Drive You BATTY

 Yes, that is a real bat. He went through a hole in the electric panel and found out that electricity is deadly. The homeowner called us because their licks were flickering. We opened the electric panel and found the bat electrocuted and stuck to the breaker.

“How to choose the right  electrician if you have any of these 5 problems and you want it fixed today?”

  Unlike the plumbers I know, electricians rarely get emergency calls.  Our equivalent of a flood in the basement is a fire in the attic…and you don’t call us for that.  You call 911.

  So, you’re probably not in need of an electrician because you’ve got an electrical emergency.  Instead, you have an electrical problem like one of these.

1.  “My good friend (or husband) tried to do it.”  My apologies to the guys reading this, but it’s true.  A big part of our business is finishing up the electrical projects you start…from outlets to ceiling fans.  And that’s okay, although it would be easier and probably cheaper if you’d call us first.  We have the tools, experience and know-how to do the job right, start to finish. 

2.  I  need a ceiling fan or chandelier installed.  We install lighting fixtures, fans, outlets, dimmers and more.  Our work is guaranteed to meet city codes, and we use only copper wiring (no aluminum).  Want to know why we use only copper wiring? 

3. Smells like something’s burning.  Over-heated appliances and electrical circuits are a problem you don’t want to ignore.  Call Mister Sparky now and you could save you a call to 911 later.

4. We’ve got a “mystery switch”.  We love getting this call.  If you’ve got a switch that you’ve never been able to link to an outlet or circuit, call us to solve the mystery.

5. I  have a breaker that doesn’t stay reset.  If your breaker keeps tripping, you don’t have the equivalent of a flooded basement, yet.  But you do have a potentially dangerous problem involving the electrical circuits in your home, we’ll troubleshoot your problem and provide a safe solution.
