After 8 years, and as many pretty good electricians, none had actually resolved several annoying, chronic electrical problems here. Searching for an affordable, full-home, diagnostic electrician with solid reviews, I found Octavio, with Mr. Electric. Arriving two days later, Octavio listened and asked questions before conducting an impressively thorough safety check -- each room, the attic, outdoors, and the breaker box. Showing and telling me exactly what he'd discovered -- what was up to code and functioning properly, what was not -- he again answered questions and offered clear options for going forward. He then left, giving me time to think; I got back to him by the end of the day, and he arrived the next morning to address each issue we'd agreed upon. When done, he made certain I saw / understood exactly what had been done, and showed me how to conduct regular owner safety check-ups. It's now been awhile. Chronic problems, including brief power losses during thunder storms, are gone. Less visible issues with potential for serious future trouble have been dealt with. Excellent guarantees are in place for all of the work. Mr. Electric is not the least expensive service, but also not the most -- charges were appropriate, clear up front, no surprises at the end. Overall, I am beyond appreciative, and consider Octavio our 'forever electrician.'
