Installation of New AC Outlet for Downspout Heating Coil
We needed a good electrician for a very small job on short notice. I searched HomeStars for a company with a 10 rating and enough reviews for that rating to be reliable. Once again, HomeStars demonstrated its value.
We had a downspout coil installed this year to prevent the freezing and clogging of our downspout during the cold months. With no outside AC outlet near it, it was obvious that it would be necessary to run the power cord through the outside wall into our mudroom off the garage. But THAT room had no existing outlet either. I figured that I would drill the wall penetration myself and feed the plug through, if Java could provide an outlet.
Laureano, from Java Electric, was able to stop by the same day to give me an estimate. He was even able to do the work later that day, but my schedule made it necessary to plan for the following week.
He and his assistant were punctual and professional. He explained how he could remove the coil terminal and make a much smaller wall penetration than I had been planning but removing the male plug, seal up the hole around the cord, attach a new male plug once the cord was inside the mud room, and make it look much less conspicuous.
They worked fast, stuck to their estimate, and overall left me very satisfied. I can't think of anything that could have been done better.
I would highly recommend them.
