We found Arnie and Affordable Electrical Repair twice for two different problems and from two…read moreentirely different recommendation sources and were completely pleased with the ability of he and his limited staff to be honest, professional, and completely reasonable both times. 1) We made the mistake of borrowing a roto-rooter machine from a retired plumber relative to troubleshoot puddling lake water at my wife's parents home. The machine's barrel/bucket thing(?) that turns and shoots out the wire cable from the rooter machine would only shoot our 45 feet when we were told it was a 75 foot machine. We actually had 4" pipe yard drain problems at 65 feet out. We went to a local rental yard for a machine that was in more functional state to solve the yard problems but what to do with our borrowed rooter? The rental place identified a repair shop in Crown Point that did that type of tool inspections as we didn't wish to return a non-working tool to our relative. So we rushed over to this little shop where the sweet counter person brought out someone to decode the problems we were relating to her. Someone came out to look at our rooter tool and with our consent and total delight had the wire cable unkinked and laid out over 75 feet of his driveway. That took large crow bars and lots of strength to accomplish. They reloaded that wire cable correctly into the rooter machine's barrel/bucket and gave us further instructions on how to maintain it between jobs. Nice! And our retired relative never realized that another of his family had previously returned the machine to him in a damaged condition... 2) a home we own was experiencing breaker tripping in the main box's main circuit and in the garage garage circuit when it rained. We went to the home's town hall and requested a list of certified or approved electrical companies who were approved to do work in that town. We selected "Affordable Electrical Repair" solely because of the first word in their company's name. We were given an available appointment time two weeks into the future as we hoped that we had started on the correct path. After Arnie listened to the tenant's observations from rain events and after inspecting the property layout/circuit loading, Arnie advised concrete removal from the house and garage exterior sidewalks to inspect the "common problem" locations. He and his helper did that removal work and eureka found a hidden, unsealed and moist underground electrical splice that was in the process of vaporizing! With minimal disruption to the tenant the repair/reconstruction work was completed to our amazement. Arnie had connections to trusted trade partners(?), like the concrete guy(awesome) who finished of the job leaving me with only needing to pay my fair share and leave the tenant with some grass seed to fill in minor patches near the sidewalks, weather permitting.

I recently contacted Affordable Electric regarding flickering lights in my home. Arnie and his…read moreassistant came to my home, inspected the electrical panel and provided options to remedy the situation. The key word being "options". Arnie could have easily taken our money and provided the service, but instead he directed us to contact our utility provider to troubleshoot the issue first. In this day and age, it is extremely rare to find honest people let alone an honest business. Kudos to Arnie, Affordable Electric has earned our trust and we will surely hire them for all of our future electrical needs. Sincerely David Z. Crown Point, IN

After a conversation with George and weighing in on my options, I took a look at his available laptops and found a HP laptop that had been updated with Windows 11, 1 terabyte of internal memory and had an internal disc drive, which one can not get on these new laptop computers. On top of that, the price of the laptop was fantastic, in my opinion! George booted it up, went over the features and warranty and I left out of his store with a lot of confidence in my purchase, which will strictly be used for storing and playing karaoke music.

I have used Ascot Systems for all of my HVAC needs for the past 15 years in my current home, and…read morebefore that my mother used them for her home for God knows how many years. I don't think it would be a stretch to say that I love these guys! In my mom's house, and then in my own, we had an ANCIENT HVAC system (circa 1956 on my furnace, 1952 on my mom's). Ascot kept both in good working condition well past their expected lives. This past summer, my boiler started making some loud noises, so, of course, I called Ascot. This time, the old girl was not going to make it. Ascot made some adjustments so that the noise would be reduced, but, since the unit was so old, the part that was rattling was no longer available. It was time for a new HVAC system. Doug (the owner) came by personally to give me an estimate on a new system. He took the time to explain all of my options and the pros and cons of each. At no time did I get the feeling that he was ever trying to "upsell" me. In fact, he was very straight forward about what he felt, in his professional opinion, was worth the cost, and what might be over and above what I needed. I really appreciated this as I really know very little about HVAC systems, other than what I was able to figure out through my own online research. I got two other estimates, and Ascot's price was right in the middle of the three. Ultimately, though, it came down to relationship and trust. I totally trust Ascot to do the job right, stand behind their work, and to be there to take care of me if any problems come up. Ascot installed my new furnace, chimney liner, and AC coil in October, and it has been working great. With the dip in temperatures this morning, I am very happy to be toasty warm in my well-heated house! They will come back in the spring to put in the new AC system. Then, I look forward to many more years of working with them for all of my HVAC service needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Ascot Systems. They do great work, and are great to work with. Give them a call. You won't be sorry!

Work very hard at getting you in if something goes wrong Will call you during non critical times to remind you to have your AC or furnace cleaned which I always appreciate because when I flip the switch for heat or cooling I want it to work. I would always recommend them.
