It was one of the coldest days this year and (due to some old shotty aluminum wiring) we lost complete power to our furnace. It was a weekend, so (of course) we could hardly find any electricians to even take our call. Then enter Red Beard Electrical. Matthew answered on the first ring, he was so kind, quick and well-informed. He advised me to call around as he had a full schedule that day, but told me to call him back and let him know if I was able to find someone. Well, all I was able to find was one place that wanted to charge me a $200 emergency fee (and that would be on top of the work). So, I called Matthew back to let him know. Even though he was booked up, he added extra hours to his work day to fit us in. When he got here he was worked quickly, explained everything that was going on (in terms I could actually understand), and didn't charge us an arm and a leg. I seriously can not recommend him highly enough. Not only did her get us out of a total bind, I feel like I have officially found "my electrician" we will certainly be using him for all of our future electrical needs and I hope you do too! Added Bonus: Matthew and his colleague where just really nice and kind guys with a great sense of humor.

We called the morning before Thanksgiving and they were out to fix it that afternoon. It was an easy fix but we didn't have the time or patience with a house full of guests and tons of cooking to worry about it. It was great to have it taken care of so quickly by a pro.
