"... Joe, a long-time electrician at PowerHouse Electric, responded quickly. He drove a long way in rush-hour traffic. He was efficient, sympathetic, and skilled. He repaired the breaker and outdoor outlet and checked my home to ensure all GFCIs were operational. He wouldn't leave until my freezer was working and the entire house electricity was functional."
