Electrical work and frozen pipe repair

We were hit with two problems in one day - frozen pipes and blown electrical circuits because of our use of space heaters to defrost the pipes. I reviewed Homestars and was impressed with the number of positive reviews AC Electrical earned. And after contacting them, Steven was here within half an hour. He immediately knew how to correct the blown electrical circuits and got everything back online immediately. And to my surprise (and relief) he also knew a great deal about pipes and plumbing. He was able to determine that the main water shut off valve had been drywalled over by a previous owner, and explained that we needed access to both that valve and the area where the pipes froze. After leaving to get the materials, he made a couple of educated guesses and quickly found the shut off valve and frozen pipes. He warmed the pipes up with a blow dryer and then wrapped them in both a) a protective substance to help keep them warm; and b) a cable wrapped around the pipes that helps monitor and respond with heat to pipes that may be freezing. And within 2 or 3 hours of coming, we had hot water and access to that all important shut off valve. We consider ourselves lucky that although Steven is an electrician, he’s familiar with many other trades. As a result, we didn’t need to hire both an electrician and a plumber. We highly recommend this company because of their commitment to help and their knowledge.
