Description of Work: An Angie’s special deal helped me get acquainted with PowerWorks Electric and its owner, master electrician John Donaldson. The special deal was a control panel tune-up and safety inspection for $95. I had no real idea what a control panel tune-up was and whether I really needed that, but I figured the whole process would enable me to get acquainted with a highly-rated local electrician, and to have the benefit of his thoughts and cost estimates on electrical issues on my property. Little did I realize then that one of my issues would shortly become a major one, and it turned out that John was extremely helpful in resolving it promptly, properly, and at a cost that seems quite fair. The electrical power to a building on my property came to a pole right outside the building, and through an outside electrical meter box attached to that pole. Over its 40+ year existence, the utility line leading to that pole endured major weather events (ice, falling tree limbs, high winds) that caused the pole to tilt a bit and the line to sag. Getting concerned, I brought this to the attention of the local electric utility. After inspection the utility technicians determined to install an additional taller pole close to the old one, anchored to the ground, and with a much higher wire eventually connecting to the electrical meter box. That took three men with two large trucks three hours to do, at no charge to me. But then came the clincher: they found the old pole itself had either rotted or snapped at the bottom and was simply holding because a bracket on top held it to the building’s fascia. Because of the danger that presented I was given four weeks to relocate the meter box or else they would come remove their meter and I would have no power. That was to be my responsibility and my expense. That’s when I called John. He came the next day, looked the situation over, and informed me of the delicate situation I was in because the local government would require me to get a permit, and the utility, which would disconnect the power while the job was being done, would not reconnect without authorization from the local government after approval from a government inspector. Since my well pump was powered by that electric line, no power meant no water until the power was put back on. John outlined the work he would have to do, putting up a mast, a new meter box, and new grounding rods while trying to keep cost at a minimum, and he scheduled the work for 13 days later. For a while he had a crew of four working while two additional utility linemen were doing their part in changing their connecting point. The local government inspector came later in the day while no one else was there, and asked for two unrelated minor corrections and the addition of an additional ground wire that John had warned me the inspector might insist on. But meanwhile my power was left on (most likely owing to John’s diplomatic work on my behalf), and John’s personnel took care of the changes the inspector wanted. PowerWorks absorbed all the permit and inspection fees. It’s hard not to like an electrician who is that helpful and has the skills to enlist the cooperation of so many people.
