We had some simple electrical work to be done in the house. Just a little more than I was comfortable handling myself. We had two outlets replaced with GFCI outlets. An entire circuit was removed from a breaker box after doing demo on a dark room in the basement. And, I needed a wall light moved, which meant cutting drywall and running the wires, and installing the light. Finally, I mentioned some outlets that sometimes flicker on/off.
All the work was done efficiently and professionally. And, someone was in phone contact with me several times prior to the appointment (which the showed up for promptly.)
I was consulted prior to cutting into the drywall in the ceiling since that was the only way to feed the wires down to the new light fixture. It would mean an additional drywall repair, but I was already repairing one hole, right? Anyway, it was nice to be asked first.
When I asked them to disconnect the wires from the old dark room, I thought that I'd find all the wires just lying on the floor when I got there, but they took the time to collect everything and clean up, too.
And, as for the little problem of the flickering lights -- a problem we'd learned to live with. The receptacle connections were tightened up. The electrician told me that that should have been the first thing to call an electrician about. The affected outlets were warm and they should never be that way. He advised me that electrical fires start from loose connections just like I had.
I would definitely use Vandenburgh Electric, LLC again! read more
