Tom stayed for about an hour, hoping that he would be able to hear what I had called him out for. After checking out the electrical box, he fixed several items that I had needed repair on for years, while waiting to hear the buzzing from the box. He fixed a 3 way switch that a family member had improperly wired, replaced some other older switches and plates, and installed a new door chime that I had purchased but never got around to installing myself. He made great use of his time, and readily had needed supplies on hand. I have not heard the buzz from the electrical box since he was at the house, so perhaps he got it fixed unknowingly while going over the box. He called me at work first thing the following morning to check and see if it was still causing us trouble or not. I would HIGHLY recommend Tom.
Description of Work: Tom originally came to check out a very loud vibration/buzzing that appeared to be coming from the area of my electrical box. As luck would have it, it only happened for a very short time while he was at my house, and by the time we got downstairs, it was over. He thoroughly examined the box, fuses and circuit breakers, tightening anything that was loose (the connections to my air conditioner were very loose). He could not find anything that indicated any type of problem that would have been the cause of the vibration/buzzing we had heard first thing in the morning.

Upon flipping the light switch in our home office, I was surprised by what sounded like the lightbulbs exploding! I called Mr. Mertz, who came out promptly, and advised me that the light fixture had been installed incorrectly and needed to be replaced. He offered to replace the light temporarily so it was safe and came back after I had time to find a new fixture that I liked. After I bought a new fixture he came back the next day to install it. The job involved climbing into the attic and no little degree of technical skill when he discovered that there wasn't adequate room for the electrical box. But he was able to solve the problem. Mr. Mertz also repaired basement electrical sockets. He did a terrific job, worked around my schedule, made me feel like my repairs were very important to him, was professional, courteous and very reasonable--especially given that he had to make two trips! Thanks, Tom, and thanks, Angie!
Description of Work: Tom replaced a light fixture and repaired electrical sockets so that they would work in conjunction with the toggle switch.

Tom Mertz was fantastic. He came out on a Saturday morning within an hour of our call, identified why we kept losing electrical power and attempted to get a replacement part for us. When the part was unavailable on the weekend, he hooked up a temporary solution so we had power until he could get it. Tom is knowledgeable, professional, reliable and just an all around nice guy. His charges were very reasonable, especially considering he came out on the weekend. Fantastic experience!

After a nasty windstorm we came home to find a tree branch had hit the electrical line running from the pole to the house. The line was on the ground and had pulled the service mast off of the house as well, but power was still on in the house. Xcel informed us it was our problem, not theirs, since power was not interrupted. A friend gave us Tom's name. Originally it didn't appear to be an emergency, so Tom did not come out for a couple days, but once on site he noticed a potential short in the wire still on the ground. He immediately called Xcel to have the power shut off, and worked the weekend making sure the line was reinstalled. He told us that the code had changed since our electrical service was first installed (of course) and informed us about new placement of the service mast according to the current code. The new placement required cutting a hole in the eaves, it was neatly done and the incoming line is no longer at pi ata-swatting height, much safer!
Description of Work: Reinstalled electrical service line and service mast after a tree fell on the line.

Great experience. Tom returned my call promptly and changed out the lights within one week of my call. This was a very small job for him but he treated it as though it was just as important as any of the big jobs he does. He got to it and completed the job on a hot humid day with a smile.
Description of Work: Tom replaced the outdoor lights on my front porch and garage. He removed the old and installed the new ones (4 total).
