Tievy Electric

Tievy is our go-to company for home electrical repair. Service was done properly and on time. The electrician was pleasant, accommodating, and competent. He took the time to explain the problem we were having.

Electrician came to house and decided it must be the circuit breaker causing lights in one bedroom to periodically flicker. He didn't even look at the room. He pushed the circuit breaker in and out several times and said we needed a new panel etc. for $2000 as breakers for this panel were no longer made. (I later found one on Amazon). He then replaced a bathroom light fixture which had an electric outlet with one which didn't as they are no longer permitted. After he left my wife discvovered all sorts of aberant behavior when the light was switched on and off. Also, the wallboard near the new fixture was all broken and showed with the fixture in place. I called the company and a different man and helper came out and repaired the light fixture so that it worked properly and even hid most of thwe damage to the wall around the outlet. He also replaced the circuit breaker in question for an additional part charge (no extra labor. Later that night the lights were again flickering in the bedroom. I got a night light and inserted it in every outlet and wiggled it until I found one which was obviously damaged as the light went on and off as I pushed it. I bought a new Cooper outlet (made in USA) at Strosniders, went into the basement, turned off the circuit, replaced the outlet in question and the problem was finally resolved. No flickering lights since then. (I broke open the outlet I removed and discovered it was scorched and blackened inside.) I no longer use this electrician...

Very impressed with this company. I needed urgent work related to AC- found the company on consumer checkbook. When I called, someone answer the phone and was able to scheduled the appointment next day. The owner Ron Tievy came out and was able to diagnose the problem quickly and gave very good advice about the way to improve electrician wiring for the AC unit. He was professional, skilled, efficient and able to give good explanations. Would definitely recommend them.
