Fast Electrical Troubleshooting That Finds Problems

"A refreshing glance at a family owned business - Lightning Rod Electric. I had the need for an electrician a couple days ago. I called three companies, First one was involved in a couple big jobs and was not available. I explained the electrical issues I was having to the second company and he said it sounded like a bit of an emergency but then set an appointment 6 working days out. In his defense, I was not going to be available the next day because of a long standing appointment. The third company, Lightning Rod Electric, is the refreshing part of this recommendation. After explaining my issues, Justin suggested I first call APS to make sure the issues were not on APS's side of the box. Now, Justin could have come out and charged me a trip charge to tell me the same thing but the honesty and integrity of this business obviously comes first. Did APS resolve my issues? Yes! And it didn't cost anything! We didn't have the opportunity to have Justin and his company come to the house to work on our electrical issues but Justin and Lightning Rod Electric is now in my Contacts for other electrical issues I might encounter! I am betting his skills are right up there with his honesty and integrity."

I reset the all the circuit breakers that could potentially control that outlet but still wouldn’t work. I got on Google and started searching electricians. I called several but none would answer, including a larger well known company but they didn’t even answer. I gave one last try and called this company and I’m so glad I did. The phone was actually answered by Justin, I proceeded to explain my issue and he was so kind and gracious enough to tell me how to fix the issue over the phone. He stayed on the line with me and told me exactly where to go and what to do, and did it for free out of the kindness of his heart. This of the type of company and person I want in my home if I ever have another issue. You don’t find too many people like this anymore."
