The guys from WHITE HORSE ELECTRIC are TERRIFIC! They are Lifesavers! Our electricity was out on the second floor of our house. A circuit breaker switch was stuck in the middle position and I could NOT flip it to the off position. Therefore, I could NOT reset the circuit breaker! And I did NOT want to force it. I did NOT want to possibly break it. Therefore I needed a PROFESSIONAL. I needed a REAL ELECTRICIAN who knows what they are doing. And I found WHITE HORSE ELECTRIC here via YELP.
The WHITE HORSE ELECTRIC guys seem to be highly rated according to YELP. And they seem to be responsive. AND so that evening around 6pm after I gave up trying to reset the circuit breaker, I sent an inquiry message to WHITE HORSE ELECTRIC via YELP -- and these guys responded to my message quickly within a half hour (or less it seems)!!! And they were able to come to our house the next morning! Luis was my contact via YELP and he was sending their technician/electrician Jose. Very encouraging messages in which I noticed they were reassuring they would be there to help us at our house. They would be there for us.
Anyways Jose showed up on time and he was super friendly and very expert in quickly figuring out what was happening with the stuck circuit breaker. Something about a spring? But whatever it was, Jose apparently had the experience and expertise to be able to magically reset the circuit breaker while giving me an education as to how the circuit breaker board was set up.
The ultimate cause of the problem was my sister turning on two electric heaters on at the same time. One was plugged into an outlet in the bathroom and the other was plugged into a bedroom/hallway outlet. And the outlet in the bathroom apparently got burnt (while the other outlet was okay). Jose quickly replaced the old burnt outlet with a more modern outlet where you screw in the wire connections. Oh, the house is like 39yrs old and apparently had cheap old outlets because the original developers skimmed on costs -- the old outlets were so cheap that the original developers only needed to stick in the wires with no screws to secure the wires and therefore you can easily pull the wires out! So, Jose installed a new more secure safe electrical outlet that should be better able to handle/withstand my sister's electrical appliances usage. Jose advised me that electric heaters are okay to use, BUT only plug electric heaters in outlets in the bathroom or the kitchen where those outlets are apparently better for electrical demands by such appliances. Never plug in electrical heaters in bedrooms, hallways, etc. Only plug into outlets in the bathroom, kitchen.
So, we got a working circuit breaker, and a new electrical outlet which we know is safe, plus I personally got really GREAT PEACE OF MIND that we were NOT going to have an electrical fire burning down our house. But we also have to follow precautions that Jose educated me on. Oh boy, I had to scold my sister to only use one electric heater and to only plug it into the bathroom outlet. This was the first time when she plugged in TWO electric heaters and in different outlets. NO MORE. And please use more blankets!
My friendly conversations chatting with Jose gave me an education on circuit breakers, electrical outlets, and electrical appliances to give me great peace of mind with really great tips to safeguard my family and our home.
And since I had a REAL PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN at the house, I also asked Jose to take a look at a Do-It-Yourself electrical extension cord setup that I personally set up inside up in the garage for connecting my WYZE security cameras on the outside of the house/garage. Thank goodness, Jose let me pick his brain. Ask a question and you get an expert experienced electrician's answer with a double focus on getting it done right and on safety. I now know what to watch out for as well as who to turn to (i.e., WHITE HORSE ELECTRIC) if I want to re-do my security cam wiring.
This is the first time when I have ever needed a REAL PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN. These guys from WHITE HORSE ELECTRIC are now in my contacts address book on my phone as my goto guys for our homes' electrical wiring needs. Very Expert. Very Experienced.
