Call UsWARNING SIGNS
Signs Your Home Needs Electrical Repair
Electrical faults give warning before they cause damage, and the signs are easy to miss because they seem minor. These are the ones worth acting on rather than living with.
Breakers That Trip Repeatedly
A breaker tripping regularly means a circuit is overloaded or a fault is present, not that the breaker is faulty.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
Lights that flicker when appliances start point to a loose connection or an overloaded circuit.
Warm or Discolored Outlets
An outlet that is warm to the touch or scorched is a fire risk and needs immediate attention.
Burning Smell
Any burning odor near outlets, switches, or the panel means shutting off power and calling an electrician.
Buzzing Sounds
Buzzing from a switch, outlet, or panel indicates arcing, one of the most serious electrical warning signs.
Two-Prong Outlets
Ungrounded outlets in an older home are both a shock hazard and a sign the wiring is due for assessment.

3 months agoI had Tommy Webber come out today to do the spring check up on My AC unit, He was very thorough explained a lot of different things. He was very Professional and polite.
Paul
3 months agoThomas was professional and went a step above. Did a great job to show me everything that I had to keep an eye on and cleaned up like he wasn’t never there. Price wise I’m on their membership program we bought with our new system. They’ve been good so far and it’s been a few yrs now.
Michelle Mullins
4 months agoShowed up on time. Respectful, kind, and efficient. I’m sure my husband could have replaced the capacitor but for the price and convenience we were happy to spend our money here. They installed our furnace last year and we have always happy with CJS.
Richard Wirey

A Wal
5 months agoWe had an issue with our sump pump going off, even though there wasn’t any water problem, and it turned out the entire unit needed to be replaced. We called Bassett that morning, and they were able to offer same-day service, which we really appreciated. Throughout the day, I received texts and calls keeping me updated that they were still coming, even as other jobs ran longer. I didn’t mind the delay at all—it was clear they were doing their best to fit us in. Josh arrived later in the day and spent a few hours replacing the sump pump. He explained everything clearly and was both informative and understanding throughout the process. He also took the time to look at another issue, took photos and measurements, and said he would follow up after speaking with his boss. What really stood out was his professionalism and attitude. Even after 6 p.m., when he mentioned he still had two more stops to go, he never once rushed or made us feel like just another job. He made us feel like a priority, and that meant a lot. We’re very grateful for the service and would absolutely recommend Bassett, and especially Josh, to others.
Michelle McElwee
7 months agoWe got estimates for a new water softener. I hadn't compared prices anywhere else. After receiving your estimate I called another service. To install and replace it was 5 and 6000 dollars less. Wow what a difference. We are going with the other service. Dale was great. He was very helpful. And so nice. The gal on the phone was also nice. Overall great experience. It just a money thing. Thank you so much Have a nice spring, Michelle
