I moved to Richmond not long ago and needed to find
I moved to Richmond not long ago and needed to find a local electrician. I noticed that many electricians on Yelp didn't have many reviews. I guess finding tradespeople on Yelp isn't as easy as finding a restaurant. I decided to ask for quotes for the job I had. I have a smoke detector system that’s hard-wired with several units, and one of them was making a beeping sound. I also have a home security system, and my video monitor stopped working (though I could still see the images on my phone). I was concerned that there could be an issue with the wiring in my walls. Lastly, I had some outdoor lighting that wasn’t working. Ben was easy to talk to, and booking an appointment with him was simple. I sent him pictures of the smoke detector ahead of time so he could bring the right replacement unit. He came prepared and replaced the unit on the first visit, so it wasn't just a diagnostic session. I have to say that Ben’s problem-solving skills are great, which clearly comes from his experience. For the outdoor lighting, he went straight to the timer switch. He found that it was burned out, and I just need a new timer. I also want to switch from halogen lights to LED because I think the halogens’ higher power usage caused the timer to burn out. Plus, the outer parts of the lights are rusty, so Ben will replace them when he swaps the lights for LEDs. Ben was also able to fix the problem with my security monitor, and it’s working fine now. I’m happy I found an honest electrician who really knows how to figure out problems. I definitely recommend Ben from Dormit X Electric. His company handles bigger projects too, but I’m glad he still works with regular homes.
