Genny was so professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely use her again.
We always enjoy working with Nick, great & high-quality job!
Great service, on time, efficient and took away the ceiling fan and packaging. Thank you.
Haas used a standard cost per job for the work performed. As a result the charge was $800 plus per hour.
As has been the case several times, Mike continues to be a pleasant master of defining the electrical challenge, formulating an effective and efficient plan to solve it, all the while keeping me in the loop at a layman’s level regarding how he is proceeding. He can solve a problem that I didn’t know I had, and blend that seamlessly into what I had called Haas to come fix. Kudos!
Mike performed precise electric surgery on a complex faulty switch box. Well done.
The experience was an improvement over past electricians. Matt was very helpful.
Alan was a very competent electrician. He explained the what and why of what needed to be done, gave me a cost estimate, and then promptly resolved my electric issue. I have used Haas and Sons for several years now and have always been pleased. I highly recommend this company.
Reason for today’s visit with the customer was to quote installation of a ceiling fan and a light fixture. Upon arrival the customer already had the light fixture and ceiling fan on site. The customer wanted to install a chandelier style fixture above the dining room table. There is currently a canned recess light there. My solution for this would be to remove the old recess light and install a brace box so the new chandelier could be hung in the center of the room. Due to the way the joists ran I would have to cut across potentially for the new fixture. Additionally, there would need to be dry wall patching done where the old canned recess light was. In the living room is where we would install the new ceiling fan. There is not currently a box or light in the ceiling in this room. My solution for this would be to install a new switch leg running from the currently switch controlled outlet box. Due to the return vent running beside the switch bank I would install a combo switch to acco
This solution includes the replacement of the existing damaged 3way switch. We have replaced the 3way switches at top floor landing and by lower level landing.
- V.I.P Membership Activated Reason for today’s visit with the customer was to investigate a loud attic fan. Upon inspection there is currently tow Smart MasterFlow Attic fans in place. The one on the left side was squealing intermittently but upon visual inspection there was nothing hitting the blades during its rotations. I believe either the main bearing seal or one of the bearings is failing. Customer was advised to leave it off until it can be replaced or repaired. The other attic fan directly beside it is also wobbling horribly inside of its fan housing. This one however is not making any noise but you can feel its vibrations running through the roofing joists when it is in full operation. My recommendation for today was to replace both with Quiet-Cool smart attic fans. During my visual inspection of the electrical system I also noticed very yellow smoke detectors indicating they need to be replaced as well. There are eight detectors in total. Today the customer decided to activ
Replace 4 hardwired smoke detectors with 4 new BRK smoke detectors. Comes with a 5 year Haas and Sons warranty and a 10 year manufacturer warranty. Install a #4 copper bonding wire between the hot and cold water lines. Reason for todays’ call was to look at replacing 4 smoke detectors. While assessing the smoke detectors I noticed that the detectors were starting to yellow, indicating that they were past their expiration date, and needed to be replaced. The detectors were also of the non-sealed type. While doing my safety assessment, I discovered the water heater was not bonded. I gave solutions to replace the detectors with customer and company supplied models, as well as bonding the water heater. Customer decided to replace the detectors with Haas and Sons supplied detectors and to bond the water heater.
Installation of 1 company supplied hardwired smoke detector and 2 customer supplied wireless detectors. installation of new light for the kitchen. We will replace with a 2x4 flat panel fixture.
Purchase of 1yr service agreement. Today we found that the issue with the receptacle in the living room, not working, was due to the fact it is controlled by a switch at the top of the stairs. The switch that controls this receptacle is the middle switch.
Reason for today’s visit was to look at why only half the panel works when the Electric car back feeds the panel. Turns out the car will only backfeed at 115 V so only half the panel will work. In order to make all the circuits worked at the customer once we will need to move them around so that they are all on the same phase. We are unable to do work today because customer currently has an open permit to have solar. Donnie does not want to have anything done until after they are complete.
Arrived onsite and the resident showed me to the kitchen light that no longer works that another company installed. I pulled the light down and tested for voltage, and the correct voltage was in the box but the fixture was bad. He had a replacement there so i made an option to remove and replace the light which i ended up doing. Then we talked smoke/carbon combos detectors, and why what he has is out of date and not up to modern safety standards, and the why. While writing up options Tyler talked to the resident about our vip care plan which peaked some interest so i wrote options with and without it. In the end we replaced all the smoke detectors in the home, and i replaced the kitchen light as well and verified everything is working properly. I left the manual for the type of detectors we are installing in the kitchen with the resident that had the install and replace date written on it as well as a membership pamphlet because they purchased that today as well.
Arrived onsite and was first shown to the downstairs living room where he showed me every time he turns the printer on, or its in use anyways, the lights dim or flicker for a brief second. After testing i found it to be a heavy draw printer at 9 amps, and recommended either a dedicated line, or a more smart energy printer. Then he showed us to the upstairs bathroom where he had to vanity lights hung, the right one that worked and the left one that flickered on and off. He told me he had pulled it from the old center box that was in the wall originally. We pulled both lights and after testing found that the line from that light to the junction is bad, as well as once he cut the trim piece out to show us the junction, it was just open in a wall. He also brought up surge protection for certain outlets which led me to a discussion a bout whole home surge protection, and then i wrote up a few options for him. He decided to get it all corrected properly and a surge protector installed as wel
Install whole home 120va surge protectors in main principle locations in home. Install 60va in boat house sub panel. The reason for today’s visit was to look at installing surge protection in the home. Customer was recently hit by a surge which damaged equipment throughout the home. Today we went ahead and installed two 120 Kva surge protectors at the main principal locations in the basement unfinished area and also installed a 60 Kva surge protector In the boathouse subpanel.
Replace switch with customer supplied switch Replaced broken switch for hallway, bathroom, vanity light, as well as the primary bathroom shower light switch
Arrived onsite and the resident showed me the dining room light that they wanted moved. I took a look at the space, about how far it would have to move to be center of the table, and how i would execute it. She also talked about getting the hole from the old spot patched and having us put a custom medallion up if she orders it so i wrote her up an option to do it with and without the medallion.
The reason for today’s visit was to assess power loss in several outlets. I was able to determine that the living room receptacle next to the TV had a constant power at the bottom and the top was switch controlled. I was also able to find that the receptacles in the back office area as well as the porch lights were not working, which was due to the fact that someone disconnected the wire in one of the receptacles in the office. What I’m assuming happened was that the motor in the fireplace fan was causing the breaker to trip so they just disconnected all the receptacles. I disconnected the power going to fireplace blower and reconnected the other wire back to the receptacle and everything is back up and running. I do however recommend installing whole home surge protection in the main panel to protect him from harmful voltage spikes that can damage the electrical equipment in the home.
Installation of new range 3 prong outlet and appliance cord. Current set up has been melted and severely burned due to something coming in contact with the plug/cord.
We will install a 50 amp power inlet plug on the outside of the garage for a portable generator to plug into. We were inside new 50 amp circuit from the power inlet plug to the main panel and install a new manual generator interlock kit.
