Had three bathrooms without power to the outlets, one of the bathrooms had no power to the lights or air vent. Tried resetting the outlet switch and also checked my breaker circuit (which showed nothing tripped). Since I'm not an expert in home electric circuitry and this is something I probably shouldn't experiment with, I called Dutch Creek Electric and they were able to come out right away even though I didn't think this was an emergency.
When the electrician arrived he was very professional and courteous, well groomed and clean. He listened to my problem and then went over a very clear to understand estimate of work. Basically a level 1,2, or 3 level of diagnostics and repair along with their prices. The electrician said he had seen this type of problem before and was almost certain the issue fell in the level 1 category (the cheapest). He did clearly state to me that there is a possibility that the damage could be greater and then the work would go up to the other levels (and prices). The electrician went to work and found that the GFI on one of the outlets was bad and also found that the breaker did trip even though the switch stayed in the on position (odd?). He toggled the breaker to reset it. He also replaced the bad outlet which was included in the cost of the Level 1 repair. I was very pleased with the work performed and was expecting it to cost me alot more. I also think the total time he was at the house was about 30 mins. My wife and I were also thinking on doing some upgrades to the lighting in those bathrooms so I asked the electrician if he could provide me with some estimates. He gave us some reasonable estimates and ideas. If we decide on doing the upgrades we will most probably choose Dutch Creek for the work.
