 Posted by electriciancharlotte at 04:35 PM on February 26, 2009 |
I have an electrical problem where the lights brighten when a major appliance comes on (Washer-Dryer-Microwave etc.) Today it got so bad that
we can use only the washer or dryer at the same time...... One electrician inspected the main inlet cabinet and found a real mess. Bees nest and water
damage etc. This cabinet has the older type bolt in circuit breakers. One of my concern is fire and the other is damage to electronics.
Please advise if you have the proper permits to operate in Meck county and your labor rate or payment mode
06 - Other Items , Information = I'm looking to have two cable outlets and a power outlet installed on Wednesday, Feb. 25, am hours if available.
I purchased the microwave. I also need an exhaust fan replace, which I have purchased. I also need an electrical outlet replaced, which I have purchased. Please let me know the additional cost for the exhaust fan and outlet. I would like this done as soon as possible.
Tom,
I have some good news for you, we have decided that we would like to have Providence Electric install our recessed lights. But before we move forward I had a few questions for you:
1. How soon could you be in the install the lights?
2. Would Mark be able to install them for us?
3. We would like to have possibly (2) dimmers installed but we don't know what they look like, I was hoping you could let me know via a picture? Or I didn't know if you had different types?
4. What would be the method of payment? (cash, check, or credit (if check who do we make it out to))
5. Did you have any questions for me about the work you all would be doing?
I do realize that I am sending this email on a Sunday, but your response would be greatly appreciated. If I haven't heard anything from you by tomorrow I will be sure to either call you or Mark or send another email. Thanks Tom.
Talk to you soon,
Just bought a new dryer and after having issues found out that the builder had installed a 20amp breaker on the dryer circuit. Not sure of the wire gauge so don't know if I can just add a 30 amp breaker or not. Doesn't code require a 30 amp circuit for a dryer? May need someone to come by and check it for me. The town house was built in 2000. and is wired with a four prong wall socket. Thanks
I need an electrician to instal an outlet and a switch for a garbage disposal. My regular electrician is to busy to get to it and I need someone to come out here Monday afternoon. Are you guys available to help, and if so how much would you charge?
We need two rooms wired for ceiling fans. There isn't currently any wiring in the ceilings and there is an attic over the space. The light switches currently connect to a wall receipt. We live in South Charlotte and are looking for a quote on service. Thank you.
Tom,
Thanks for checking in on me. The consultation went well. Mark provided us with some very useful information as well he was very helpful.
I would like you to send me an electric copy of the estimate.
We plan to make a decision on getting the recessed lights installed in the next couple of weeks. As well, if I get another comparable estimate I will be sure to let you know to see what you can do.
Overall my wife and I both were very pleased with Providence Electric and if we decide to go with you we would expect your great customer service.
Thanks Tom I look forward to an electric copy of the estimate.
i'm interested in having two pendant task lights installed over the counter in my kitchen. There is an existing strip of track lights, at most 10 feet from the counter. I'd like an estim
03 - How can we help you ? = Recessed Lighting
04 - Additional Information ? = 9 recessed lights to replace existing fixtures. Install new foyer chandelier as well.
Happy new year Thomas.
Can you please give me an estimate for dropping a cable wire from the attic down to the living room? It would go through the second floor as well.
Hey Tom,
Ashley came out and took care of the chandelier. Thanks for the help.
He basically removed had the chandelier connected directly to the house aluminum wiring, and put the purple wire nuts over it. So I guess we're all set.
Quick question. On my ceiling fans upstairs, I have the aluminum wiring pigtailed (with purple nuts) to copper wiring, and then have the copper wiring connected to the ceiling fans with a regular nut. Is there any reason is should go in there, remove the pigtail, and just hook the fans up directly with the aluminum wiring using the purple wingnut (like we did on the chandelier) or should they be ok as is?
Sure no problem could you send me over your contact phone numbers so that we can have the best way to contact you? The consultation will go pretty easy Mark just come by . He'll ask you where you're thinking about adding lighting and go over some of the advantages of placement and the different types of recessed lighting. You have the option of using a six-inch or a miniature 4 inch recessed light in different areas for different applications . I recommend a six-inch for kitchens and the 4 inch miniature recessed light for accent lighting such as highlighting artwork or photography. You can go over placement with you and where the recessed lighting lays out in accordance with the structural members of the ceiling joist system . Thanks so much for the opportunity to come by and talk, you and we'll see you tomorrow night .
Hi Jamie , sure Monday the 16th works out great. I've got an appointment available at 10:30 AM if that works for you . The technicians name is Ashley Travis He's one of my best guys so I'm glad I can send him over to you . I just need the phone number, the address with ZIP code and any cell number you might want to leave so that we can easily contact you. Thanks so much and I look forward to talking you soon. Tom Harp Providence electric.
Hi Jamie this is Tom Providence electric thanks so much for using our website. The fan that you have to the new stove is it down draft or is it above the stove? Is the stove gas or electric ? And how soon are you looking to have someone come out? I have availability this week and as you can see from our website these types of small jobs are all we do. So you definitely contacted the right place. I look forward to hearing from you and thanks again for using the website !
06 - Other Items , Information = We have several electrical outlets where one plug works but the other does not.
We also have had two seperate satellite tv installers suggest that we have some type of power-draining issue with our electricity.
I'd like to get an assessment to see if there are issues that we are not aware of. Is there a cost for such the assessment itself?
06 - Other Items , Information = I would like a total of (12) 6 inch recessed lights installed. 6 recessed lights in the kitchen and 6 recessed lights in the family room. Both rooms are on the first floor of two story home. The rooms have no attic or crawl space access. And the lights would be installed post construction. I would like a quote on both the parts and labor please.
Thank You,
Larry
06 - Other Items , Information = We are going to replace a kitchen light in vaulted ceiling over sink/island. It is quite high and is directly over island so we are having a difficult time getting to it. We are looking at pendants or hanging light with 2 or 3 lights on a bar. Wondered what you usually charge for this type of service.
Hi this is Tom harp the owner , thanks so much for using the online job cost calculator . Here are your prices , the pendant price includes up to three fixtures and the wiring necessary . We have availability next week and as well I can send a man out to consult with you about the actual placement and quantity absolutely free of charge next week . Just let me know and I look forward to taking care of your service . Tom harp Providence electric .
Hi Tom, Would it be possible to have Mark or Ashley come at noon tomorrow instead of at 8am? The work that is left is: 7 recessed lights ( 3 are already measured, 4 are to be measured to new cabinetry), the end of counter outlet, 3 pendant lights, two receptacle replacements (these will be white). I am having one less recessed light from my original estimate... on the sink side of my kitchen we had planned on 4 lights and the one over the sink and now we are doing 3 plus the one over the sink. We are no longer doing a second connection for the microwave but instead are putting the receptacle on the end of the peninsula to meet code. When Mark told me on that Thursday he would finish that day I did not know if we were going to be able to fit the depth of my new microwave into its originally planned location. So we were going to put it under the counter if we had to. Now I know we can fit it into the original location and Mark has already taken care of that. Nothing else has been added. The sheetrock has been replaced where it was not even so that recessed light over my sink can be installed. Thank you so much for working with me as I maneuver through the daily changes of installation.
Need to install a garbage disposal under the sink where there never was one.
The dishwasher has electric from somewhere.
There is an electrical faceplate in the area with no plugins, just a cover.
Need an estimate on splicing in and running electric to disposal with a on/off switch. or... running a new line with new breaker from the panel (which is located in the same room).
Tom, good morning. The lighting in the kitchen is too dark now with the removal of the fluorescent lights. We have 3 eyeball lights in the kitchen ceiling. Can we buy higher watt bulbs to increase light or do we need new high hats in there?
Ashley currently scheduled to install 2 new high hats & replace one existing one in the hallway Monday morning.
Thanks.
When you get out there and look, maybe you'll have a better idea. We have a "nice and clean" crawl space directly behind the wall to our bedroom which is on the 2nd floor. I was thinking no more than $50 bucks.
Tom or Mark - You're coming out at 10am to my house. I know the service call minimum is $. If I wanted another outlet (move electric outlet in bedroom up 3 ft), I would expect that wouldn't cost much. Can you give me a price on that and if it's right, we'll have you do that too.
Hi this is Tom harp the owner Providence electric . Sure that's no problem we do several ceiling fan installations each week . Is the area prewired for a ceiling fan or do you need us to install the box and wiring as well ? Just let me know and I'll talk to you soon thanks so much . Tom
We had work done previously by you and were very pleased. Now we have two things we need. One is the exchange of an outside sensor floodlight with a standard flood light (no sensor). We also need a chandelier hung in the dining room. The chanelier will be an aluminum home wiring to copper fixture wiring connection, so I could use some help. Friday midday would be preferablyh (somewhere between 12 and 3).
07 - Please let us know what you are interested in . = We have a new energy savings kit SHUTTERCOVER TRIM to FIT that covers the shutters on a whole house attic fan with a removable Low E insulated material reducing air flow. Our cover is available or can be ordered from Lowe’s, ACE Hardware, Do It Best, and Grainger. For more information on kit please go to our web site
11 - Other Items , Information = I have a small kitchen, but I notice there are dark spots when preparing meals at the counter. I not sure if I want recessed lighting or undercabinet lighting. I"m probably looking at undercabinet lighting.

Hi Tom,
Sounds good. I have another electrician coming over tomorrow night to give me a quote so I will let you know on Thursday and maybe we can set the installation up for Friday (if I can get all the supplies together by then - fans/overhead lights). The only thing I'm concerned about is that the house was built in 1977 so I was told to be cautious about piggy backing electrical lines, is this something that your company avoids?
Can you approximate how long it would take to install in all four rooms? Also, I'm not completely sure what it means to keep existing receptacles continuosly hot (on all the time)...pardon my lack of electrical knowledge, but that sounds dangerous.
Thanks for your thorough response.

Hi this is Tom the owner, e-mail works great for me too so I appreciate you wanting to e-mail . The bedroom ceiling lights are something we do all the time. There are many houses built with no overhead lights in the bedroom areas . The normal installation usually entails making the existing receptacles that are connected to the switch continuously hot or in other words on all the time. Of course if someone wants to leave that switch and just add two more switches, one for the overhead light and one for the ceiling fan that is also possible. The typical price for adding overhead light in a bedroom is $155 per room. For ceiling fans the prices to $225 so your total would be $535 . I have availability this week on Thursday or Friday. Please let me know if you have any other questions , thanks so much and talk you soon. Tom harp Providence electric.
Hi this is Tom the owner, sure we can . The best way to go about it in my opinion is to have a landscaping company come out and dig a ditch that is in a straight line from the house , to the closest available point on the boat dock . It gets expensive to have electricians do the trenching, landscape guys are usually all set up to do that type of thing and many of them actually owner trencher and or laborers. After the trench is dug by a landscape company or if you guys wanted to dig it yourself if you have the equipment then we would come in and add conduit in the ground and the wiring necessary for the boat dock . I can have a man stop by and look at everything this week if that works for you, just let me know . I don't have a landscaping company that I could recommend but I'm sure that there's plenty of them that are looking for work at the current time . Talk you soon and thanks so much

Hi okay this is Tom were going to try and locate a holddown kit for the breaker however in order to label the panel we need to be able to get inside the house and it's probably going to be about two and half hours to label panel as we will have to temporarily power the home and run a hot test on the entire house so that we can label everything. I can discount the hourly rate to 75 that will make it $187.50 for the time we will spend labeling the panel. The best I can do is charge $75 an hour for the remainder of the work it looks like it's going to be 4 1/2 hours of work total may be less but worst-case scenario it would before half. Which is $337.50 labor. Please let me know as soon as possible if a person can be there at 7 AM to unlock the house or if a person could just go by there at 7 AM and unlock the house for me. I would love to have a technician there first thing in the morning with the proper parts and breakers to make the corrections and get the inspector satisfied. Thanks so much talk to you soon

Hi Tom,
We were trying to get everything ready for tomorrow. You probably aren’t there at this time. I think we bought the wrong mount. We have a fixed mount, but unfortunately we bought the mount over a year ago so now they won’t swap it out for a tilt mount. Is it possible to shem the mount we have so it tilts down slightly. I’m afraid to mount it over the fireplace with the current mount because it will be difficult to watch. Let me know your thoughts. We still want to go ahead with the outlets/jacks so we can mount eventually.
Have a couple of electrical projects and would love to have them done soon. Saw your posting on Craig’s List (and your ad on-line). The projects are as follows:
--Outdoor flood light repair (2)
--Outdoor flood with motion detector install
--Digital thermostat installation (2)
--Possible outdoor power outlet install
Please contact me when you get a chance. I’m taking bids on this work and would love have them all in by end of the week.
Look forward to hearing from you.
I have a drop ceiling in my basement (which is about 1,000 sq ft) and I would like to install recessed lighting. Is this possible with a drop ceiling?
2. Is there an additional cost to add a switch (dimmer style) if this will be "new" lighting?
3. We may be interested in adding recessed lighting on the first AND second floor of our house (for sure the first floor). Is there a price difference if you have attic access (i.e. 2nd floor lights) or if it's "between floor" (i.e. first floor family room and living room)?
4. Does the overall price go down depending on the number of lights installed?
5. Also interested in similar info on under-cabinet lighting.

Tom,
Thank you for the quote. I didn't mean to select the 3 Great Room Ceiling Lights, therefore the total of the installation of (3) 6" Recessed lights and (1) Globe "Fish-eye" type light over the mantel would total $350.00, is that correct? Does this price include all costs? Dimmer switch, full installation of can, bulb, etc.?? Or are there additional costs not listed.

Hi Tom,
Sometime after Christmas. What is you best guess at an estimate for connecting the line and dropping it down a wall from my attic?
Thanks,
The lights that Ashlee installed yesterday work great! The one over the driveway and the one over the back yard work just as I wanted. There is an adjustment that needs to be done to the light over the back patio. After it has been activated, instead of turning off, it goes to a low-light setting instead of turning all the way off. The dim setting then stays on indefinitely and never turns off. The other two turn all the way off and if you could set the third one the same way, we are done. I would try to do this myself but I don't have a way to get up to it.

Eventually cut circuit breaker to shut off. Am assuming switch shorted out. Seems like very minor repair but switch with four wires coming off it hard to find and hard to get out of fireplace frame. Am interested in estimate for professional service. Thanks.

Hi this is Tom the owner, sure Holly that's no problem at all. I just need to ask you a few questions first. First of all, is there crawlspace under the floor? I know it's silly but we have had people call us out to put in floor receptacles in a home that's built on a slab. Assuming that there is a crawlspace under the floor which I'm sure there is, is the floor hardwood or carpet? And do you want the outlets to be controlled by a switch or just on all the time? Thanks for the e-mail and I look forward to talking to you soon.

Tom,
I have some good news for you, we have decided that we would like to have Providence Electric install our recessed lights. But before we move forward I had a few questions for you:
1. How soon could you be in the install the lights?
2. Would Mark be able to install them for us?
3. We would like to have possibly (2) dimmers installed but we don't know what they look like, I was hoping you could let me know via a picture? Or I didn't know if you had different types?
4. What would be the method of payment? (cash, check, or credit (if check who do we make it out to))
5. Did you have any questions for me about the work you all would be doing?
I do realize that I am sending this email on a Sunday, but your response would be greatly appreciated. If I haven't heard anything from you by tomorrow I will be sure to either call you or Mark or send another email. Thanks Tom.
Talk to you soon,
Just bought a new dryer and after having issues found out that the builder had installed a 20amp breaker on the dryer circuit. Not sure of the wire gauge so don't know if I can just add a 30 amp breaker or not. Doesn't code require a 30 amp circuit for a dryer? May need someone to come by and check it for me. The town house was built in 2000. and is wired with a four prong wall socket. Thanks
I need an electrician to instal an outlet and a switch for a garbage disposal. My regular electrician is to busy to get to it and I need someone to come out here Monday afternoon. Are you guys available to help, and if so how much would you charge?
We need two rooms wired for ceiling fans. There isn't currently any wiring in the ceilings and there is an attic over the space. The light switches currently connect to a wall receipt. We live in South Charlotte and are looking for a quote on service. Thank you.
Tom,
Thanks for checking in on me. The consultation went well. Mark provided us with some very useful information as well he was very helpful.
I would like you to send me an electric copy of the estimate.
We plan to make a decision on getting the recessed lights installed in the next couple of weeks. As well, if I get another comparable estimate I will be sure to let you know to see what you can do.
Overall my wife and I both were very pleased with Providence Electric and if we decide to go with you we would expect your great customer service.

03 - How can we help you ? = Recessed Lighting
04 - Additional Information ? = 9 recessed lights to replace existing fixtures. Install new foyer chandelier as well.
Happy new year Thomas.
Can you please give me an estimate for dropping a cable wire from the attic down to the living room? It would go through the second floor as well.
Hey Tom,
Ashley came out and took care of the chandelier. Thanks for the help.
He basically removed had the chandelier connected directly to the house aluminum wiring, and put the purple wire nuts over it. So I guess we're all set.
Quick question. On my ceiling fans upstairs, I have the aluminum wiring pigtailed (with purple nuts) to copper wiring, and then have the copper wiring connected to the ceiling fans with a regular nut. Is there any reason is should go in there, remove the pigtail, and just hook the fans up directly with the aluminum wiring using the purple wingnut (like we did on the chandelier) or should they be ok as is?
Sure no problem could you send me over your contact phone numbers so that we can have the best way to contact you? The consultation will go pretty easy Mark just come by . He'll ask you where you're thinking about adding lighting and go over some of the advantages of placement and the different types of recessed lighting. You have the option of using a six-inch or a miniature 4 inch recessed light in different areas for different applications . I recommend a six-inch for kitchens and the 4 inch miniature recessed light for accent lighting such as highlighting artwork or photography. You can go over placement with you and where the recessed lighting lays out in accordance with the structural members of the ceiling joist system . Thanks so much for the opportunity to come by and talk, you and we'll see you tomorrow night .
Hi Jamie , sure Monday the 16th works out great. I've got an appointment available at 10:30 AM if that works for you . The technicians name is Ashley Travis He's one of my best guys so I'm glad I can send him over to you . I just need the phone number, the address with ZIP code and any cell number you might want to leave so that we can easily contact you. Thanks so much and I look forward to talking you soon. Tom Harp Providence electric.
Hi Jamie this is Tom Providence electric thanks so much for using our website. The fan that you have to the new stove is it down draft or is it above the stove? Is the stove gas or electric ? And how soon are you looking to have someone come out? I have availability this week and as you can see from our website these types of small jobs are all we do. So you definitely contacted the right place. I look forward to hearing from you and thanks again for using the website !
06 - Other Items , Information = We have several electrical outlets where one plug works but the other does not.
We also have had two seperate satellite tv installers suggest that we have some type of power-draining issue with our electricity.
I'd like to get an assessment to see if there are issues that we are not aware of. Is there a cost for such the assessment itself?
06 - Other Items , Information = I would like a total of (12) 6 inch recessed lights installed. 6 recessed lights in the kitchen and 6 recessed lights in the family room. Both rooms are on the first floor of two story home. The rooms have no attic or crawl space access. And the lights would be installed post construction. I would like a quote on both the parts and labor please.
Thank You,
Larry
06 - Other Items , Information = We are going to replace a kitchen light in vaulted ceiling over sink/island. It is quite high and is directly over island so we are having a difficult time getting to it. We are looking at pendants or hanging light with 2 or 3 lights on a bar. Wondered what you usually charge for this type of service.
Hi this is Tom harp the owner , thanks so much for using the online job cost calculator . Here are your prices , the pendant price includes up to three fixtures and the wiring necessary . We have availability next week and as well I can send a man out to consult with you about the actual placement and quantity absolutely free of charge next week . Just let me know and I look forward to taking care of your service . Tom harp Providence electric .
Hi Tom, Would it be possible to have Mark or Ashley come at noon tomorrow instead of at 8am? The work that is left is: 7 recessed lights ( 3 are already measured, 4 are to be measured to new cabinetry), the end of counter outlet, 3 pendant lights, two receptacle replacements (these will be white). I am having one less recessed light from my original estimate... on the sink side of my kitchen we had planned on 4 lights and the one over the sink and now we are doing 3 plus the one over the sink. We are no longer doing a second connection for the microwave but instead are putting the receptacle on the end of the peninsula to meet code. When Mark told me on that Thursday he would finish that day I did not know if we were going to be able to fit the depth of my new microwave into its originally planned location. So we were going to put it under the counter if we had to. Now I know we can fit it into the original location and Mark has already taken care of that. Nothing else has been added. The sheetrock has been replaced where it was not even so that recessed light over my sink can be installed. Thank you so much for working with me as I maneuver through the daily changes of installation.
Need to install a garbage disposal under the sink where there never was one.
The dishwasher has electric from somewhere.
There is an electrical faceplate in the area with no plugins, just a cover.
Need an estimate on splicing in and running electric to disposal with a on/off switch. or... running a new line with new breaker from the panel (which is located in the same room).
Tom, good morning. The lighting in the kitchen is too dark now with the removal of the fluorescent lights. We have 3 eyeball lights in the kitchen ceiling. Can we buy higher watt bulbs to increase light or do we need new high hats in there?
Ashley currently scheduled to install 2 new high hats & replace one existing one in the hallway Monday morning.
Thanks.
When you get out there and look, maybe you'll have a better idea. We have a "nice and clean" crawl space directly behind the wall to our bedroom which is on the 2nd floor. I was thinking no more than $50 bucks.
Tom or Mark - You're coming out at 10am to my house. I know the service call minimum is $. If I wanted another outlet (move electric outlet in bedroom up 3 ft), I would expect that wouldn't cost much. Can you give me a price on that and if it's right, we'll have you do that too.
Hi this is Tom harp the owner Providence electric . Sure that's no problem we do several ceiling fan installations each week . Is the area prewired for a ceiling fan or do you need us to install the box and wiring as well ? Just let me know and I'll talk to you soon thanks so much . Tom
We had work done previously by you and were very pleased. Now we have two things we need. One is the exchange of an outside sensor floodlight with a standard flood light (no sensor). We also need a chandelier hung in the dining room. The chanelier will be an aluminum home wiring to copper fixture wiring connection, so I could use some help. Friday midday would be preferablyh (somewhere between 12 and 3).

Hi Tom,
Sounds good. I have another electrician coming over tomorrow night to give me a quote so I will let you know on Thursday and maybe we can set the installation up for Friday (if I can get all the supplies together by then - fans/overhead lights). The only thing I'm concerned about is that the house was built in 1977 so I was told to be cautious about piggy backing electrical lines, is this something that your company avoids?
Can you approximate how long it would take to install in all four rooms? Also, I'm not completely sure what it means to keep existing receptacles continuosly hot (on all the time)...pardon my lack of electrical knowledge, but that sounds dangerous.
Thanks for your thorough response.

Hi this is Tom the owner, e-mail works great for me too so I appreciate you wanting to e-mail . The bedroom ceiling lights are something we do all the time. There are many houses built with no overhead lights in the bedroom areas . The normal installation usually entails making the existing receptacles that are connected to the switch continuously hot or in other words on all the time. Of course if someone wants to leave that switch and just add two more switches, one for the overhead light and one for the ceiling fan that is also possible. The typical price for adding overhead light in a bedroom is $155 per room. For ceiling fans the prices to $225 so your total would be $535 . I have availability this week on Thursday or Friday. Please let me know if you have any other questions , thanks so much and talk you soon. Tom harp Providence electric.
Hi this is Tom the owner, sure we can . The best way to go about it in my opinion is to have a landscaping company come out and dig a ditch that is in a straight line from the house , to the closest available point on the boat dock . It gets expensive to have electricians do the trenching, landscape guys are usually all set up to do that type of thing and many of them actually owner trencher and or laborers. After the trench is dug by a landscape company or if you guys wanted to dig it yourself if you have the equipment then we would come in and add conduit in the ground and the wiring necessary for the boat dock . I can have a man stop by and look at everything this week if that works for you, just let me know . I don't have a landscaping company that I could recommend but I'm sure that there's plenty of them that are looking for work at the current time . Talk you soon and thanks so much

Hi okay this is Tom were going to try and locate a holddown kit for the breaker however in order to label the panel we need to be able to get inside the house and it's probably going to be about two and half hours to label panel as we will have to temporarily power the home and run a hot test on the entire house so that we can label everything. I can discount the hourly rate to 75 that will make it $187.50 for the time we will spend labeling the panel. The best I can do is charge $75 an hour for the remainder of the work it looks like it's going to be 4 1/2 hours of work total may be less but worst-case scenario it would before half. Which is $337.50 labor. Please let me know as soon as possible if a person can be there at 7 AM to unlock the house or if a person could just go by there at 7 AM and unlock the house for me. I would love to have a technician there first thing in the morning with the proper parts and breakers to make the corrections and get the inspector satisfied. Thanks so much talk to you soon

Hi Tom,
We were trying to get everything ready for tomorrow. You probably aren’t there at this time. I think we bought the wrong mount. We have a fixed mount, but unfortunately we bought the mount over a year ago so now they won’t swap it out for a tilt mount. Is it possible to shem the mount we have so it tilts down slightly. I’m afraid to mount it over the fireplace with the current mount because it will be difficult to watch. Let me know your thoughts. We still want to go ahead with the outlets/jacks so we can mount eventually.
Have a couple of electrical projects and would love to have them done soon. Saw your posting on Craig’s List (and your ad on-line). The projects are as follows:
--Outdoor flood light repair (2)
--Outdoor flood with motion detector install
--Digital thermostat installation (2)
--Possible outdoor power outlet install
Please contact me when you get a chance. I’m taking bids on this work and would love have them all in by end of the week.
Look forward to hearing from you.
I have a drop ceiling in my basement (which is about 1,000 sq ft) and I would like to install recessed lighting. Is this possible with a drop ceiling?
2. Is there an additional cost to add a switch (dimmer style) if this will be "new" lighting?
3. We may be interested in adding recessed lighting on the first AND second floor of our house (for sure the first floor). Is there a price difference if you have attic access (i.e. 2nd floor lights) or if it's "between floor" (i.e. first floor family room and living room)?
4. Does the overall price go down depending on the number of lights installed?
5. Also interested in similar info on under-cabinet lighting.

Tom,
Thank you for the quote. I didn't mean to select the 3 Great Room Ceiling Lights, therefore the total of the installation of (3) 6" Recessed lights and (1) Globe "Fish-eye" type light over the mantel would total $350.00, is that correct? Does this price include all costs? Dimmer switch, full installation of can, bulb, etc.?? Or are there additional costs not listed.
Thank you,

Hi Tom,
Sometime after Christmas. What is you best guess at an estimate for connecting the line and dropping it down a wall from my attic?
Thanks,
The lights that Ashlee installed yesterday work great! The one over the driveway and the one over the back yard work just as I wanted. There is an adjustment that needs to be done to the light over the back patio. After it has been activated, instead of turning off, it goes to a low-light setting instead of turning all the way off. The dim setting then stays on indefinitely and never turns off. The other two turn all the way off and if you could set the third one the same way, we are done. I would try to do this myself but I don't have a way to get up to it.

Eventually cut circuit breaker to shut off. Am assuming switch shorted out. Seems like very minor repair but switch with four wires coming off it hard to find and hard to get out of fireplace frame. Am interested in estimate for professional service. Thanks.

Hi this is Tom the owner, sure Holly that's no problem at all. I just need to ask you a few questions first. First of all, is there crawlspace under the floor? I know it's silly but we have had people call us out to put in floor receptacles in a home that's built on a slab. Assuming that there is a crawlspace under the floor which I'm sure there is, is the floor hardwood or carpet? And do you want the outlets to be controlled by a switch or just on all the time? Thanks for the e-mail and I look forward to talking to you soon.
