Rejuvenating of aluminium wiring
AC Electrical renewed my faith in contractors !
Nick was here same day to quote the job, his price was fair, and he impressed me with his honesty, and candor.
The job entailed replacing the existing fuse panel with a new panel of circuit breakers, updating all connections ( sockets and switches ), including disconnecting each connection where aluminum wiring was present, applying anti-oxidant compound , pig-tailing copper wire to the aluminum with new connectors, and re- installing with new switches and plugs. They also added a new circuit ( one receptacle ) in my furnace room, where none had existed, and replaced two 2 Ft. fluorescent fixtures in my basement with two new 4 Ft. fixtures .
When Nick first came to quote the job, we walked through the house counting switches and plugs, and from that he generated a price. When his electricians were doing the work it was discovered that part of the house had previously been renovated using copper wire , so no updating was required , the electrician (Jim ) brought it to my attention ( he could have said nothing ) . Nick adjusted his invoice accordingly bringing down his original quote from $3900.00 (tax in) to $3200.00 saving me $700.00.
The electricians Jim and Dillon were extremely professional , and courteous, never objecting to my asking questions, and watching over their shoulders. They cleaned up and took with them all the old switches and plugs for recycling.
They arrived a little early, and left a little late, in order to complete the job in one day instead of the day and a half that was expected!
I was a Purchasing Agent for forty years, I am good at assessing people, and these people are great !
Nick, Melissa, Jim, and Dillon thanks for doing such a great job !
