Serving Sanford, MI and surrounding areas
In business since 2009
"I needed an electrician to fix a number of problems around our house and didn't know anyone, so I looked on Angie's List. After looking at a number of possible companies near me, I decided to call Phase 2 Electric LLC, because they were close to home, received excellent ratings by past customers, are state licensed, and insured. When I called in the morning, my call was answered by the owner, Curtis Reames, personally. Since Mr. Reames was working in the area, he said that he could come over that afternoon and would call before he came. I never dreamed that I could get a master electrician in that quickly.
True to his word, Mr. Reames called about a half an hour before coming and showed up within the timeframe given. He went right to work on repairing our ceiling fan and light combination. The fan worked, but only one of the four light sockets was working. Instead of suggesting that we would need a new ceiling fan unit as I had feared, Mr. Reames was able to remove the lighting
section, diagnose the problem, and said that if the parts were still available, he could fix the unit. That was very important to me, because we had had to special order the cherry wood blades to match our bedroom furniture when we built our house 21 years ago. I didn't want to have to special order new blades, especially since the fan still worked.
Next we moved on to our over the mirror bathroom lighting which hadn't been working for a few weeks. Mr. Reames was able to determine that the switch and the fixture were working correctly, but the halogen light in one socket was loose and another had a burned out bulb that we had just replaced recently. I found out that the bulb's life was probably shortened considerably because we had touched the bulb with our fingers when we installed the new light bulb. A real no no when dealing with halogen light bulbs. Mr. Reames said that he could pick up a replacement bulb when he got the parts for the ceiling fan which would save me a trip to get one.
When we looked at our kitchen light over the table, Mr. Reames was able to determine that the switch was working properly and the socket had electricity flowing to it, but it still wasn't working correctly. He noticed that the tab inside the socket was pushed down and proceeded to fix that. As it turned out, we have a short in the fixture and need a new light fixture.
Mr. Reames than scoped out the electrical box, and based on the location of the meter, laid out a plan for a future generator. He also told me what size generator we would need in order to do what we want. That was really helpful, because I know nothing about generators except that it can be very dangerous to hook them up and again when the electricity was turned back on. He'll come back and install the generator once we pick it up.
Lastly, we moved out to the garage and the exterior of the house. A number of our electrical sockets were not working and needed to be replaced. Mr. Reames then left to get the supplies that he would need to fix the ceiling fan lights, the light bulbs which we needed, and the new GFI sockets. He returned quickly with all of the parts (and some lighting books that I could
use to locate a new light fixture for the kitchen) and went right to work to get everything done. There was a problem with one of the new sockets he had gotten and it wouldn't work. Having a number of supplies which he carries in his company truck, Mr. Reames was able to supply another socket and got it working. In fact, he stayed until almost 7:00 p.m. to get everything done before he left.
I would highly recommend Mr. Reames and Phase 2 Electric LLC to anyone who needs electrical work done. He is very easy to work with, knowledgeable, and made sure that everything was cleaned up before he left. He even helped me move a piece of furniture back where it belonged that I had had to move so he could do his work. Once we have our new light fixture and generator, Mr. Reames will be coming back to install them.
