+ -1 moreI have used them in the past and was VERY happy with the service and have even refered them to others who were very happy, so when I needed some more work I called them. The first time they took my name and number and promised to call back but never did. They were so good I called them back and expressed my disappointment and they swore this time they would call. Never did get a call......

Description of Work: Fuse box kept tripping half the circuits in the house; seemed to be related to a recent nearby lightning strike. Technician "Tim" came promptly and quickly diagnosed the problem and repaired it.
