It pays to have the right friends in an emergency!

As the owner of Quality Electric Co., I've learned one thing that has remained consistent in the electrical field, and that is major interruptions are rarely scheduled or convenient. The furnace only goes out at 5:00 pm on Friday afternoon, and no material stores are open until Monday. Also, if you're going to lose your electrical service it will be on the weekend, on the coldest day of the year and it will not be a simple or quick repair.

Fortunately for my long-time clients, we make house-calls night and day year round. John and Katie have a beautiful late 1700s home with a lot of old growth white mahogany trees in the front yard. The house is beautiful, and those trees are a spectacular sight. The trees extend above the three story house by a substantial distance and they are huge.

The only problem with old trees that have grown that large is disease and weather. Today, when I received John's distress call, I learned that one of those amazing trees had fallen across the power lines we had installed just a half dozen years before. It was one of the most challenging service upgrades we had ever done because working with a 200 year old stone foundation is not easy.

Once inside the foundation wall, there were additional obstacles placed there by the original builders. After burning up a new rotary hammer drill and few bits we finally broke through. That was just the beginning. The consolidating of decades of electrical improvements into one location was massive.

When it was all said and done, we walked away extremely proud of a job well done. Because of the wind on that hillside today, we get to do it all over again. The white mahogany tree destroyed half of the external electrical work we had previously completed on the property. So, we get to enjoy the beautiful property and scenery for another day while we disconnect the temporary repairs and make new final repairs.
