We will have to remove a wall mounted microwave and troubleshoot a circuit that is no longer working
Our electrician, Blaine arrived on time and immediately got to work. He listened to my explanation of the issue and diagnosed the problem. He then presented me with a few different solutions and options to consider for future work. I appreciate his considerate approach and friendly demeanor. We will contact Haas Electric in the future when we are in need of electrical work.
The reason for today’s visit was to take a look at a few projects throughout the home. When I arrived, I met with Ms. Stephanie, who let me know that she had a list of tasks to take a look at. We started in the hall bathroom, where she asked if I could install a light that would change the gray recessed can to a white light on the ceiling to match the exhaust fan and other recessed light in the bathroom. I suggested a recessed retrofit kit installation to accomplish this. Next, we went to the master bathroom, where she wanted me to replace a switch for the exhaust fan. She also asked me to take a look at the vanity light, to ensure that it was mounted properly. We then went through the kitchen, where she asked me to take a look at some exterior floodlights to verify if they were working. In the basement, she asked me to install two vanity lights above the sink and to install proper boxes, as they were originally just screwed to the studs on the wall. While downstairs, I took a look at
Install two customer supplied smoke detectors. Called out today to investigate a fixture and switches that were not working after the customer had replaced them. Opening up the switches and taking down the fixture, I used my voltmeter to check for loose connections. The 3-way switches had been wired correctly but by using my voltmeter, I determined there to be a loose neutral somewhere on the circuit, due to getting 60 volts between hot and neutral at the light fixture. Adjacent to the light fixture was a smoke detector. Opening up the detector, I saw that the neutral splice had come loose. Repairing the splice, the light then turned on. I performed a safety assessment of the panel, and noted a multiwire branch circuit not on the correct two-pole breaker. Also due to the age of the panel, I recommended an eventual replacement of the panel; we recommend every 25-35 years that main electrical panels be replaced, this one is over 40 years old. I also noted a lack of bonding at the wate
Provided estimate for dedicated circuit
Today’s visit was due to a combined master bedroom circuit/kitchen microwave circuit that had lost power. When I arrived, I met with Mr. Michael, who told me that they had a few things going on recently that may have been contributing to the power loss. He mentioned that they had work done on their HVAC, and had the home power washed recently, which tripped the house GFCI/bathroom/exterior circuit. The GFCI circuit is unrelated to the current issue, but he told me that earlier in the day, he had been reheating food in the microwave when the circuit breaker tripped. The microwave receptacle is the only affected device in the kitchen. I disassembled the microwave receptacle and found that the receptacle seemed to be converted from a previous range hood. There is voltage from Hot to ground & not from hot to neutral, but there is partial voltage from neutral to ground. The homeowners had the kitchen remodeled about 4 years ago. I went upstairs to the master bedroom to continue the troubles
Ian came by promptly and did a very fast job. He was friendly and courteous, and fixed our electrical issue quickly and competently. I can happily recommend Haas and Sons Electric.
I feel I was ripped off. Results not as expected. Price was out of reason and common sense. Won't ever use this company again nor recommend the company. The technician spent time, unsolicited, trying to sell me on replacing my electrical panel for over $10K
We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. Our goal is never to pressure anyone into work they do not want or need, and we certainly never want a customer to feel taken advantage of. Regarding the lighting project, the work performed included supplying and installing commercial-grade RAB motion-sensing security lighting, installing a new dedicated circuit for the motion light, and replacing two additional exterior light fixtures. We choose RAB lighting because of its reliability and industry-leading warranty, which provides homeowners with a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix. During our visit, our technician also observed that your home has a Zinsco electrical panel. While we understand you did not call us specifically about the panel, we believe homeowners should be informed when we identify a potentially significant safety concern. Zinsco panels have a well-documented history of breaker failures, overheating, and breakers that may fail to trip during electrical faults. Because of those known concerns, our technicians are trained to bring them to a homeowner's attention so they can make an informed decision about their home's electrical safety. The recommendation was exactly that—a recommendation. There was no obligation to move forward, and many customers appreciate being made aware of potential hazards they may not have known existed. We respect your decision not to proceed with any additional work and appreciate the opportunity to have served you. We wish you the very best moving forward.
