Outstanding service from this electrical contractor.
JC Electric sent Mark out to assist with a hidden short circuit caused by faulty wiring done by inept person(s) years ago.
The job required a methodical approach to problem solving. A look inside Mark’s work van showed clever and meticulous organization to a degree I’ve never seen with any contractor in over 40 years of project management.
I knew things would be done right. And they were, including tracking down the problems, and determining solutions. The problems were inside two crappy and undersized plastic junction boxes, crammed full with equally crappy wiring assemblies.
Because I won’t tolerate leaving plastic junction boxes in place when discovered, I always spec replacing them with 4-inch square deep metal junction boxes screwed to framing, and metal clamps for the knock-outs. This provides plenty of room inside for assemblies, eliminating stress on connections.
As proven by this experience, while my high standard requires sheetrock repairs and painting afterward, doing things right the first time is a whole lot better than having the same, or another contractor, come back later and doing it all over.
After installing the new metal junction boxes with metal clamps for the wire penetrations, Mark pretwisted the conductors before applying wire nuts, looped conductors around device terminals instead of stabbing them in, and wrapped the device terminals with electrical tape.
Excellent!
Although these old-school methods add a small bit of time to the job, the reliability and longevity of these practices is beyond question, providing the peace of mind I like for my clients, and me.
I have an intense dislike for short-cuts, and always mandate work done thoroughly following traditional methods with attention to detail.
Glad to report this was an example of quality work done by a conscientious professional.
Thank you Mark, and JC Electric!
Professional all the way through. I will recommend them
J C Electric is the very best ever. I have used them several times over the past 10 years – They were very prompt, did a great job and even gave me a senior discount.
These guys are AWESOME! I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me out. Will be recommending them to friends!
As an electrician just starting out, these classes were exactly what I needed to improve my skills! There isn’t anything these guys don’t do. Thanks again!!!
