I was burning the midnight oil, doing some internet research in regard to a missing person case (my specialty), when the lights flickered off and on. It was a rainy night in Herndon, Virginia. A sensible person would be doing this research in the comfort of their home, but – call me old-fashioned – I prefer to work in an office, away from domestic distractions.

The phone rang. I let it ring twice before answering, “Private Investigations.”

There was a long pause. Then a voice said, “Hello?”

“Hello,” I answered. “May I help you?”

“I’m sorry. I was waiting for beep. Are you actually there at this hour?”

“Yes, sir,” I answered patiently. “I’m a real person speaking with you in real time. How can I help?”

“Well, this is very encouraging. I’d expected an answering service or a machine. Listen, I need you to help me find someone.”

“That’s my specialty. Who are you trying to find?”

“It’s not a who; it’s a what. I’m trying to find an electrician Herndon VA VA. I need a good one. I’m not having any luck on my own.”

You get all kinds of requests in this business, but this was a new one. What’s so difficult about locating an electrician Herndon VA? I could’ve told him to consult the Yellow Pages. Look under Contractors, Electrical. Start with the A’s and keep going. Or, I could have suggested going onto the web and doing a search for: electrician Herdon VA.

But I didn’t. Instead, I simply said, “Certified Electrical Technologies.”

There was a pause. “That’s it? But you don’t even know what kind of work I need done.”

“Doesn’t matter,” I replied nonchalantly. “The answer is still Certified Electrical Technologies. Residential electrical or commercial electrical, big or small; they do it all. Electrical troubleshooting, interior lighting, outdoor lighting, electric generator installs; you name it. Look no further if you want a competent electrician Herndon VA.”

“Actually, Certified Electrical Technologies is one of the electrical contracting companies on my list. It’s just so confusing. I asked people that I know. I’ve checked with the Better Business Bureau. I’ve researched it online. But how do I know who will do a good electrical job for a fair price? That’s why I called you. Can you help me find an honest, professional electrician in Herndon Virginia?”

“You don’t need to be a professional sleuth to find an honest, professional electrician in Herndon, Virginia. It’s right there on the Certified Electrical Technologies website: Free estimates; Lifetime warranty on their work. Does that tell you something about their honesty and professionalism? And they’ve been in business since 1979.”

“I’m starting to feel better about this.”

“You should. And all of the Certified Electrical Technologies electrician in undergo a background check, wear uniforms and carry a company ID.”

“That sounds very professional,” the caller admitted. “So, do you run the background checks? Is that why you’re so familiar with the Certified Electrical Technologies electrician in Herndon, Virginia?”

“I’m sorry, sir,” I replied coolly. “That information would be confidential.”

“Of course, of course,” the caller said. You know, I’d like to speak with someone from Certified Electrical Technologies as soon as possible. Do you know what time they open tomorrow?”

“Why wait?” I asked. “You can call Certified Electrical Technologies twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. And when you call, a real, live person will pick up the phone. A real person will speak with you in real time, and you can set up an appointment for an electrician in Herndon VA to help you out.”

“Just like you!”

“Just like me,” I agreed. “Only this person will be better versed than myself at all the services Certified Electrical Technologies can provide.”

“I’m going to call right now. Thanks for everything.”

I hung up and the lights flickered again. If only everyone used this electrician in Herndon VA, Certified Electrical Technologies, I thought, the world would be a better place.
