Best Tankless Water Heater Installation in Seattle WA
Electrician
I am renting in West Seattle and needed a Tesla 50amp plug.
I noticed the good Yelp reviews and decided to give Reign City a call.
I told them that my landlord was an entitled asshole, who made it clear that they didn't want to see any trashy cables or holes in his fence.
They took this to heart, and the job came out looking spectacular. Just a short piece of conduit on the outside of the building. They ran the cable under some rocks across the sidewalk, then bored a hole in the concrete. Then they ran about 25' of conduit down to the parking spot.
The job was completed on time and with a fair price. Eugene and his team were easy and efficient to deal with.

Probably that day was unlucky day for me and the guy who came in, but here is what happened.
I've got a deal at Angie's list for servicing my furnace.
The guy came in right on time at 8am. IIRC his name was Steve.
I have 17-18 years old furnace. Steve has disassembled a couple parts and have cleaned things up. He was also kind enough to answer my various questions. Once he has assembled everything back it turned up that furnace has stopped detecting the flame and was shutting off a few seconds after starting. It was working before Steve has started to do his work, so I'm not sure what happened.
Steve said that things break and sometimes they break right at the time he touches it. He said that the panel is broken and he will bring me a new one and will replace it right away and it will cost me something between $700 and $800. Of course I wasn't expecting this, but thought I don't have other choice. I've asked if Steve can test the flame sensor and he assured me that it's impossible to test the sensor with a multimeter and that it requires special equipment. Later I've learned that it's super easy to test with regular multimeter like the one Steve had. He also said that he will bring me a new sensor just in case.
An hour or so later he came back with a new board and a sensor. He has replaced both, but the problem wasn't solved. It was still working as before. That all looked very strange and Steve seem to be nervous and frustrated. I was trying to suggest various ways of diagnosing the problem and he got angry and has asked me to leave him alove with the furnace.
He was diagnosing the problem with someone over the phone. He also run again to his shop and brought another electronic panel for the furnace and I think he has tried that one too and it also didn't work.
Since the service has started at 8am we had our furnace turned off. I stayed home for the entire day. At 3:30pm Steve came to me and said he couldn't solve the problem, but he can install me a new furnace as soon as tomorrow, but I have to make a decision right away and give him 50% pre-payment. This all seemed very strange. He was frustrated. This situation seem to be stresful for him too and I would say he wasn't handling it properly. After all, it was all working at the time of hia arrival and for me it's quite stressful too, but he was pushing very hard towards selling me a new furnace. I said that I need to do some research about different furnaces first. And, I was honest with him, I said that I'll be trying to get someone else to look at my old furnace the same day just in case. Steve basically said if you don't commit to installing a new furnace with us in 20 minutes from now, and will call up tomorrow, we will put you on the wait list for the next week. Was very agressive selling.
I didn't commit. Steve left. I've tried to turn on the furnace a couple more times, but the problem persistent. An hour later another HVAC specialist came in. And surprisingly the furnace has stareted to work. He really did nothing other than turning it on, he even didn't charge me for the visit. It's almost 1 month since then and the furnace still works so I'm not really sure what it was...
Strange and stressful day and bad experience. I wouldn't hire Steve after that situation.
HVAC professional should know how to test flame sensors. Also he should know how to actually test electronic boards too. It's not a complicated device. I'm sure you can measure some voltage there and there to say for sure if it's dead or not. It's not a rocket science...
