Burnsville Electrician
We called, Burnsville Electrician, Tommy’s Electric to complete the following jobs
1) Determined where there was an electrical ‘short’ in my basement.
2) Installed a new ceiling fan and installed a switch for it,
3) Installed a new switch for an existing ceiling fan, and
4) Replaced a defective ballast in an existing florescent ceiling fixture.
The ‘non straight forward’ part of the jobs Tommy did was to determine where an electrical short had occurred in my basement. The short caused ALL of the wall electrical outlets to be inoperative. I was impressed in Toms analysis of the situation. He concluded the short was caused by either a mouse eating through the wire, or a shifting of the house, which in turn caused ‘pinching’ of the wire. He quickly determined it was between ‘Point A’ and ‘Point B’, but needed to bring out another piece of equipment to help determine the exact place above my finished basement ceiling. Upon return (a week +), he found the exact spot, and actually found the “electrocuted mouse”, and took a picture on his cell phone. Finding the exact spot not only got rid of the dead mouse removed, but saved me money (by saving Tom additional time).
The rest of the projects were much more standard, and performed by another employee of Toms, while Tom was finishing up the basement project. One of the things that I feel is noteworthy is the “cleanliness’ of the areas both men worked in. My experience has always been that Electricians are the messiest of all the various trades. They typically open up a parts bag, drop it on the floor, and leave it for the homeowner to pickup. Tommy’s Electric cleaned up very well after completing each of the four projects. I would highly recommend Tommy’s Electric to all, and they will be my first call on any further electrical work I need done in my home.
