Found everything still wrong in the new house with new solar and kept a few issues from rearing their head to be a future problem
Nick is always on time, always professional, and he always addresses all of our questions. We have used Nick for all of our electrical installations and repairs for the past several years. You’re in hood hands with Nick of Haas & Sons.
Nick arrived on time, masked, and promptly put on shoe coverings before walking through our home to access the electrical panel. He took the time to explain how he would diagnose the problem and patiently answered our many inquiries without making us feel inadequate for asking so many questions. When he diagnosed the problem, we were pleasantly surprised when he told us the problem was a far less expensive issue than we had anticipated. We anticipated thousands of dollars in upgrades and he explained the issue was likely a far simpler, less expensive one. When he completed his work, he vacuumed up the dust and wiped down the floor and wall. The price was as quoted with no unwelcome surprises. It was a refreshing experience and a big change from some of the other companies we had worked with. If you want courteous, honest and excellent service, then Haas & Sons are the electricians for you!
Highly recommended
Nike was great!! He differently knows his job well!! I give a A++ and I will be requesting for him on future projects for my house. NIKE YOUR AWESOME!!! THANK YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!!

Today’s visit was for annual maintenance inspection. During assessment, I saw a few things of note that needed to be addressed. Customers panel was just replaced and solar installed. Panel is already starting to show signs of rust at the bottom. I believe the moisture barrier should be replaced. Also, the panel was labeled incorrectly. I corrected the circuits I worked on. The customer is having the solar company come out to address the other issues. While on-site, I saw sump pumps and washer were not GFCI protected, there was a receptacle upstairs that had an open ground, and no surge protection present. Please see below for work performed. Install audible GFCIs for both sump pumps Install standard GFCI for washer Install standard GFCI for open ground receptacle Install whole home surge in main panel

The reason for today’s visit was to assess power loss to the garage, laundry, room, lights, and the living room Receptacles. No troubleshooting, we begin unplugging devices and turning switches off. Reset the breaker and the power was restored. We went through and turned everything back on until we got to the switch that went to the post light, which is located in the front right corner of the garage, we took the wires and found that there was continuity neutral And the hotwire. When we took apart the post light, we found that the wires were cut extremely short into the bottom of the post, and there was no post headlight on it whatsoever. The customer decided to cut the wires off and disconnect the post so power could be restored. Troubleshooting, we did notice that the panels were older 1983 Bryant panels with several different types of breakers mismatched inside. Many of the breakers are difficult to turn off and turn back on indicating it is time for them to be replaced. Due to the

I removed and replaced the receptacle in the entertainment center that was Energized by circuit 19 in the main electrical panel the receptacle had a wire that had a cut in it due to poor installation in the receptacle in the wire was pinched which was hitting the metal box causing it to ground out I Cut out the damage wire then I spliced all the appropriate wires together and pigtail office splice then hooked the single wire on the new receptacle clamp the wire down then Tightened the screw on the device. This is to ensure the best possible connection and the safest possible connection in the termination for the receptacle
