After having our attic spray-foamed and a completely new HVAC system installed, the HVAC installers left us with a lot of non-working lights. They said they did what they needed to connect the HVAC and that we needed an electrician to install another circuit in the attic to connect the things that were removed so that the HVAC could use the current circuit. After weeks of waiting for 2-3 other electrical companies to come out, we had several no-shows and poor communication. We contacted HD electric and very quickly, Doug came to the rescue! When Doug arrived, I called my HVAC installer to explain what exactly was done and needed to be done. As he went on, Doug developed a facial expression that said "this guy is not making sense." He went into the attic to investigate. He came down with a puzzled expression, checked behind the plates of a few electrical switches and asked if I had any lightbulbs. I did and I brought them out. One by one, he simply replaced lightbulb after lightbulb and almost all the lights were restored. Turns out that the HVAC installers overloaded the circuit and cause a surge that blew all the can light bulbs. We didn't need another circuit installed and he was very quick to identify that. Additionally, our undercabinet lighting had been manually turned off on each of the lighting units (not by us)...and a simple flick of the switches on each unit turned them back on. It was kinda funny, but at the same time, completely adverse to what the HVAC installer had explained to be the issue. Doug was finished and out the door in less than 20 minutes leaving all lights in working order.....everything has been fine since.
Later it occurred to me that another electrician, when hired specifically to install a new circuit, thought that was not the issue at all, may have gone ahead and done so as it would have been a more lucrative job....and I wouldn't have known it was unnecessary given the picture painted by the HVAC installer who assured me that it was what needed to be done.
HD Doug was fast, knowledgable, realistic, honest and pleasant. This was about 9-10 months ago. Recently, I had a need for an electrician for another project and after waiting weeks for couple of other flakey, unresponsive electricians to show up, I remembered Doug and gave his office a call. I spoke with an answering service who took down my info and Doug called back in less than a half hour. We are currently coordinating a schedule as there is another party that needs to be present at the same time. I have total faith that this will move along quickly and the job will get done efficiently and well!
Don't hesitate to give HD Electric a call. They don't just return calls quickly, they actually show up on time, communicate well and do great work. Highly recommended! read more
