My husband and I recently moved to Silver Spring, MD, to take care of his elderly parents, and were faced with the prospect of having to find a reliable electrician in Silver Spring, MD on fairly short notice. We’d gotten a great deal on a house with an attached mother-in-law apartment, but it would have to be completely rewired. Because of some special medical needs, the in-law apartment would have to be a custom job. My husband, worried about the medical equipment, wanted someone that specialized not only in residential work, but also someone who was a qualified commercial electrician.
It never seems to work out well, cold-calling out of the telephone book, so we started asking around. And, one name kept popping up, at the post office, when we went to the diner for breakfast, in the grocery store – Certified Electrical Technologies. When we were at the hardware store, they told us that CET, a local Silver Spring electrician, offered the best electrical bid for their commercial project and did all the custom lighting in the store, in addition to the standard electrical rewiring needed.
Well, when my husband heard that CET was a Silver Spring electrician that handled both residential and commercial work, the whole matter was just about decided. He called Certified Electrical Technologies the next morning. We were amazed at how quickly we were able to schedule an appointment to discuss the project with their electrical engineers and technicians. Customer service is clearly a top priority for this family owned and operated business. They’ve been around since 1979.
Once they heard why we were looking for an Electrician in Silver Spring and our concerns about residential rewiring being able to accommodate the medical equipment we’d need to have in the mother-in-law appointment, they were so reassuring and enthusiastic about how their technicians could help shape the project, starting with scheduling our work as quickly as possible. The CET Silver Spring electrician we spoke to first told us about their lifetime guarantee on their work, and that – if there was a problem — we could call 24 hours a day and talk to a real, live person; no annoying phone tree, leave a message and we’ll call you tomorrow. CET also said a free home electrical safety assessment came with every job.
The Certified Electrical Technologies team had great suggestions, too, ranging from whole house surge protectors to new electrical circuits to panel upgrading. They explained how home rewiring could contribute to energy efficiency, and how it was important to safety, since we were significantly increasing our electrical demands with the types of equipment we had planned for the apartment my in-laws were going to be living in.
I have to say, being a born and bred city gal, I’m a bit more suspicious in nature than my husband is. I felt good knowing that Certified Electrical Technologies does a thorough background check on each Silver Spring electrician they have on their team. They do not sub-contract at all. Each CET electrician Silver Spring, MD, team member in our home would be a background checked, licensed and insured employee of the company – no exceptions.
To make a long story just a little bit shorter, Certified Electrical Technologies made it happen for us, quickly and efficiently. The main house and the mother-in-law apartment were completely rewired. The engineering team had great ideas for the custom projects relating to the medical equipment, and also suggested an intercom system, smoke detector installations, and a variety of safety enhancing interior lighting options that have helped prevent my father-in-law from experiencing another fall. We’re really grateful for how fast they scheduled us and for how immensely helpful their Electrician in Silver Spring team member was in making our home, with its special needs, as safe and convenient as possible. We’d recommend them to anybody, and are so pleased that word of mouth put us in contact with them.
