Dennis S. fixed the issue that we had, which turned out not to be the one we thought it was. Dennis kept us informed about what he was doing, and why, during each phase of the repair process. The folks at Haas were able to provide same day service, which was very helpful.
Could not have been better. Mike was an amazing tech. Explained everything fully and carefully. His work was top notch. Would recommend to everyone. Great job.
Alex is a great electrician because he thoroughly inspected the electrical panel and a few of the outlets throughout the house, letting me know about existing issues with the house's electrical system. He also discussed how he would install the ceiling fan and answered my questions about its placement.

Nick did an incredible job installing a SimpliSafe doorbell & GFCI outlet. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Highly recommend this company to all!
Today’s visit was for light fixtures in closets falling out of the ceiling. The boxes that were holding the light fixtures were brittle, and the screw holes were broken. It looks to appear that the cause was overspray from when the house was originally built. We offered to install wafer lights in the closets, rather than replace the boxes and install the existing fixtures for aesthetic reasons. While doing the assessment, when looking at the panel, we noticed that there were multiple multi wire branch circuit on single pole breakers. We flagged this as a safety concern that should be addressed. However, the customer is having solar installed next week and wanted to confer with that company before replacing breakers since they will be addressing things in the panel. See below for work performed. Replace (3) closet lights with LED wafers Replace (3) toggle switches for closet lights
Reason for the visit was for annual maintenance inspection. While doing the assessment, we saw that there were multiple items that needed to be addressed. The customer has aluminum wiring in the home, the grounding needs to be updated, the smoke detectors should be interconnected, and the customer also wanted recessed lights in the basement. Please see below for all work performed. Ground cold water pipes Bond water heater Install alumicons in all outlets, fixtures, and switches with aluminum wiring Replace all switches and outlets in home with new devices Install nest smoke detectors for each floor and room (5 total) Install (8) 6” wafer lights in basement Install caseta master switch and pico for 3 way control Run switch leg for master bedroom ceiling fan
The reason for todays visit was to provide a solution on changing out an existing ceiling fan with a new “fan-chandelier”. Today’s visit included removing the single gang switch on the wall to see a broken switch bank as well as a switch bank that had multiple holes drilled into it. The switch itself was wired correctly for a switch controlled outlet and ceiling fan control. After looking into the fan swap, i saw a 200 amp Pre-1988 Westinghouse panel. Panel showed loose breakers, missing grounds, and missing whole home surge protector. Today we recommended on replacement of the fan, as well as the switch bank converting single switch to a two gang to house one switch for the fan and one for the outlet. We also provided a solution on changing out the electrical panel and installing a new whole home surge. Customer at this time will take some time to review the solutions and will schedule if deciding to move forward.
This solution includes the replacement of the 2 damaged smoke alarms. One a combo detector and the other a standard smoke alarm. This repair includes the installation of a box to properly house the electrical connection to the upstairs smoke alarm in bedroom. Additionally this includes updating all smoke alarms. We have replaced the existing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the home. Additionally we have installed an electrical box in ceiling to house the live wires for the smoke alarm in the bedroom. We recommend having the electrical panel addressed.
We have restored power to the rear exterior receptacle. We found loose wiring and an improperly installed open air splice/junction in the wall at master bathroom receptacle. In addition we have replaced the existing outdated smoke alarms with new 10year sealed battery combination detectors. Lastly we have removed the Siemens breaker from the Westinghouse panel and installed appropriate CH BR style breakers. This solution includes the wiring repair for the receptacle in the master bathroom. In addition we shall trace out the new wire feeding out of the receptacle box in the master bathroom, replace the breaker not rated for the Westinghouse panel. And update the homes antiquated smoke alarms, replacing them with the 10year sealed battery, hard wired interconnected combo detectors, 3 in total.

Installation of new 2-pole 50 amp breaker to correct current damaged breaker. Breaker was not fully showing 120 voltage to both terminals. After taking breaker out, saw damaged wire on 50 amp circuit from major trip of breaker failure. Installation of whole home surge protector. Surge helps protect the main electrical panel from harmful voltage spikes while protecting the sensitive appliances in the home. Surge reflects lifetime replacement and 60,000.00 warranty.
installation of new new devices located in the garage and front of garage. Devices currently are older and show signs of failing and currently not working properly. We also discovered two outlets that were reversed polarity. Most devices are housed in metal boxes with no protection from being grounded out while being energized. We will replace these devices and correctly protect each device when being reinstalled. We were called out today to look at a receptacle that sparked and caused the circuit to not work. While assessing the circuit we discovered many of the devices were original to the house and were not wired correctly. We gave solutions to replace the devices and correct the wiring, as well as the installation of a surge protector in the panel, panel corrections, and the installation of LED bypass tubes. Customer went with the solution to replace the devices, and was interested in the installation of a surge protector in the future.
This solution includes the installation of a new foyer and hall chandelier. In addition we shall install a new gfci at panel location and replace the 2 exterior receptacles with new weather rated devices. We have installed the new customer supplied lighting. Additionally we have replaced the front and rear exterior receptacles and the panel GFCI receptacle.
Installation of new GFCI device located on the kitchen 20 amp appliance circuit. Device currently is blinking red with notice to replace. With replacement of device we will also replace the load side outlet as well. We were called out today to look at a GFCI that was not working in the kitchen. We discovered that the microelectronics in the GFCI were fried, evidenced by the blinking trip light on the GFCI, requiring it to be replaced. While assessing the panel, we discovered evidence of overheating terminals on 3 breakers, requiring them to be replaced, as well as double tapped neutrals in the panel. We gave a solution to replace the GFCI and a receptacle on the same circuit, which the customer agreed to.
Install two new customer supplied light fixtures in place of existing ones at the front door and back walk out. installed customer supplied ceiling fan in place of an older one in the dinette area. installed new bathroom exhaust fan, upgrade kit in the primary bathroom
We have determined that a dedicated circuit cannot be derived from the existing panel. We recommend having the pushmatic panel replaced.
Arrived onsite and was shown to the kitchen which as just a GFCI that she didn’t fully reset. Then we were shown to the 3 way system for the downstairs light. I found there to be a bad 3 way, and pulled the light to fully test that and confirmed as much. I talked to her about a redevice of the home and she wanted to get those 3 switches in the stairwell taken care of today, and then a quote for the rest of the home so that’s what i wrote up. We replaced the 3 way at the top and bottom of the stairs, as well as the single pole for the outside light downstairs. We rehung the light, restored power and tested for proper operation of the switches, which we had.
Correction of current outlet located behind hanging microwave. Current outlet would need to be installed in a junction box and the circuit extended to the cabinet. We would then terminate the wiring inside of a new 1900 metal box with RS cover to plug in appliance.
Arrived onsite and was shown to the garage where he showed me his current 120v setup, and we looked at the hardwired tesla unit and i came up with two options for him. One to install it on the panel side of the garage, one to install it on the opposite side of the garage on the exterior. Both options include whole home surge protection which we discussed. The resident had to run errands and asked me to email him the options.
Trouble shot circuit that was no longer working and found a burnt up receptacle in the back left bedroom on the second floor in the back left corner. We replaced the devices and cut off the burnt end of the wire and pigtail the end together. Recommended a whole Home device to ensure this does not happen again.
