Metro Elevator

The elevator in one of the metros in Fairfax has been out for the last two weeks. How is that possible? How could they not repair the metro elevator? I complained enough times that finally, an elevator repair service in Fairfax VA stepped up to the plate and repaired the service elevator and the handicapped elevator. It took them only a few hours! If only the city had called them sooner!

Flea Markets Rock

It was a beautiful day on Sunday, so I decided to go to the local flea market to see what was there. Long story short, I ended up finding an old chandelier that I fell in love with. I bought it, brought it home, and realized that I didn’t have the slightest idea for how to install it or have it work! So, I put my nose to the books and looked for a Chevy Chase MD electrician who would come out and help me with my newest dilemma. Luckily, I found a local electrician who knew in and out how to get it working! I have a feeling I’ll be calling upon him in the future.

Restaurant Owner With Electrical Issues

I’m the owner of a small restaurant. Recently, patrons have been complaining about the lighting. They say it’s too dim and they can’t read their menus. My opinion? Have your eyes checked! But I guess that isn’t great for business. I searched electrician Bethesda MD and found a bunch of companies that offer dimming system lighting control. It sounds like that’s just what I need for my restaurant. Now I can control the lights based on the mood of the restaurant and its patrons.

Better Safe Than Sorry!


Doing any type of electrical work around my house scares me. I can handle most handyman jobs when they arise, but the fear of something happening to me working with live electrical current freaks me out. I’ve known many people who have attempted to add new outlets, or even just change outlet faceplates and have been severely injured. I will always call a professional electrician in Johns Island when I need my system serviced.

Holiday Party Needs an Electrician


I, like many other people, threw a holiday party this past weekend. I decorated the house with twinkling lights and various other decorations, and put on some music and holiday movies. What I didn’t realize is that my guests would want to plug in the various gifts that they brought. One thing led to another, and we ended up having to call an electrician in John Island, SC. Too many things plugged in! He said that he could see my house lit up from a few miles away. At least people know that we have holiday cheer! Next year I’ll think about dialing it down a notch, though.

Instant Replay

Being that I own my own business, I wanted some sort of Naperville IL video surveillance services. I know that though crime is lower in this part of Illinois, break-ins and robberies are still pretty common. To protect my investments and my newly purchased business, I wanted to install some sort of video surveillance I could have a security guard watch from a remote location. It worked out exceedingly well as it has helped thwart two attempts to break into my store so far!

Our New Home!

I recently purchased a new house, which I love! Aside from doing some small renovations, the house fit my family and our style perfectly. We had a new chandelier installed in our dining room and a few days after we noticed the light switch would get so hot, when you went to turn off the light it would burn your hand. We called some local electricians in Washington DC to have them check out what was going on.  We ended up having to rewire the whole bottom floor of our house as we had a dangerous short. Thankfully we discovered it before any serious damage could occur.
