Description of Work: We had an electrical switch that was making "popping" noises when we tried to use it. Called Tomato. They send a man out that same day. Turned out to be a simple fix (Switch itself was OK, but a connecting wire had come loose.) I thought the $44 charge was quite reasonable.

Description of Work: I had a non functioning circuit and told electrician there had on occasion been a burning smell which I couldn't locate. Source of burning smell was found and cause of circuit problem was fixed. Door bell was fixed, several pull chain sockets were fixed, and 2 external light fixtures were replaced. Work was done quickly, electrician was awesome guy who said if I EVER smelled that burning smell again to call no matter what time of day because it is a potentially very dangerous situation.

Description of Work: Had a faulty GFI repaired on a backyard outdoor outlet. Technician was on time for an early appt. (7:30), was courteous, and completed the work in a timely manner (less than 1 hour). Besides the outlet that was repaired, he examined another box on the same circuit and caulked it to ensure no water would enter. I asked about another house electrical issue and he spent a few minutes to look at it and explain what would be needed to repair. Overall, I was very satisfied with the work and cost.
