Response from A Better Electrician
There has obviously been a misunderstanding. Upon checking our phone records, we found no voicemails missed, nor missed calls from your number. We see an appointment booked from our online calendar for 4:30pm on June 19th, with your phone number and email. At 4:38pm on June 19th we have a log of a ten minute conversation. As there is no additional appointment made, it was our impression the questions were answered. our apologies if you needed another appointment and weren't scheduled. Please call to discuss any issue.

Several bottle lights in a large fixture were not lighting. Able to determine the wiring needed readjusting. Did so quickly and efficiently. The hot water heater was found to not need an electrician, but a plumber familiar with this type of unit, which was relayed immediately so that the unit was able to return to working status.
Description of Work: assessed a faulty hot water heater as well as repairing a lighting fixtures with several lights not working unit

Tim was there right away within a couple of minutes of the appointment time. It was a wonderful experience to watch him work - he is so organized and good natured, seems to love what he doe, and is obviously a professional. I will always return to A Better Electrician for my electrical needs in the future. It was a pleasure to deal with this company.
