Typical response times

• Many calls within the core Seattle neighborhoods receive same-day or next-day response when the schedule allows.
• Online estimate requests are given priority scheduling over new phone inquiries when possible.

Exact response times vary with workload and location; customers should text or call to confirm current availability.

Stated hours and availability

• The website lists "Monday - Friday - 24 hours" for the business.
• Weekend hours are described as available; customers are asked to call or text to check weekend appointment availability.

Because scheduling depends on current workload and route planning, customers should always confirm actual appointment times directly with Tommy.

Examples of issues that may require professional attention include:

• Frequent breaker trips
• Flickering or dimming lights
• Sparking outlets
• Burning smells or visible smoke
• Buzzing sounds from switches, fixtures or outlets
• Outlets or switches that feel hot or unusually warm
• Intermittent power loss in one area of the home

If any of these are present, customers are encouraged to turn off power to the affected circuit and contact Tommy promptly.

Basic steps before you call

Some simple checks described on the website include:

• Confirm bulbs are correctly installed and of the right type for the fixture.
• Check nearby GFCI receptacles (for example in kitchens, baths or garages) and press Reset if tripped.
• At the electrical panel, switch a suspect breaker fully OFF and then back ON to reset it.

If problems continue after these checks, professional diagnosis is recommended.

Typical electrical questions answered on the website

• Circuit breaker keeps tripping: This can signal an overloaded circuit or a short. Unplug devices on the affected circuit, reset the breaker and plug devices back in one at a time. If it continues to trip, the circuit or panel may need evaluation or upgrades.
• Outlet or switch not working: After checking GFCIs, the outlet or switch may have lost its feed or have a loose connection and should be inspected.
• Lights flickering or dimming: Beyond bulb issues, this can indicate loose wiring or a faulty fixture.
• Intermittent power loss: Often related to loose wiring connections or a failing device on the circuit.
• Buzzing sounds or overheating outlets: Considered a serious warning sign. Power to the circuit should be turned off and the problem professionally inspected before using the outlet again.

When in doubt

The website emphasizes that many electrical problems can be discussed over the phone or by text in a few minutes. Customers who are unsure what they are seeing are encouraged to describe the symptoms to Tommy so he can advise whether immediate on-site service is needed.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
