Title: Electrician
Post by: cronsteel on July 14, 2010, 05:26:41 PM

Hey everyone-

I have an old ceramics kiln that I'd like an electrician to look at before I fire it up. Anyone have a suggestion for someone local? The two listed in the Fairfax Business Association website are gone, apparently.

Words of wisdom.
If the electrician is nick named Old Shockey,,,,pass on him.

We've used Steve McDonald. Along with being a good electician, he's a great guy!  He's in the phone book on Wilkins rd.

not sure what you mean by "he is educated"  BUT Steve McDonald has done work @ my home, he's the one Steve Orton called to cut power when my home was sided, he's the one that did the work for my fiance's sugaring operation also!  Nothing against the one you mentioned "rod anode" but why knock someone's rep when another is asking for help?  I recently had an electrician come in for double the $$ most charge and was no better than the one I suggested & referred!  so, I'm just saying, you could have referred your choice without the sarcasm!

No I did not send you an email. Re-read your comment & sometimes it seems like there is sarcasm.....sorry if taken wrong. $90. per hr was the rate rather than most @ $40-$50 hr. Easy job just to wire a room; took the 220 wire we had instead of putting in scrap pile- probably to use somewhere else.

just because he is "educated" doesn't mean much to me I have worked with college grads that were a menace to society when they had a screwdeiver in their hands, let alone themselves, and one of them was an engineering grad from the Naval Academy. Its not the schooling but the personal capablities of the person.
