I wanted to give a big shout out to Rush/Shelby Energy. I had a problem with my service pole that ran to the electric meter, in fact, I had an electrician come out one time before, this spring, I believe, and he pulled my leaning service pole up as much as he could. And that helped -- until today.
My fascia board was bent from the combination of a leaning service pole and inadequate blocking to support the fascia. When I tried to replace the fascia today, the pole almost fell completely to the ground.
I called Rush/Shelby to have them shut off the power from the outside, and I also called an electrician who could deal with this emergency.
Tony Adkins is our Rush/Shelby utility serviceman in my area, and he was here within a couple of hours tending to my emergency. He went out of his way putting the service pole back in its rightful place, helped with stabilzing the subfascia, and generally went out of his way to do whatever was needed to get my pole stable and my service back on.
By all accounts, this is what he does! And he does it in such a personable way. Not to mention he saved us a bunch of money paying an electrician emergency wages! He's truly a special guy, and we are lucky to have him service our area. Thanks so much, Tony! read more
