Thanks to all who responded to my query about an electrician. I sincerely appreciate your feedback. What a great neighborhood we live in!
Here is a list, for those who might also need some work done on their electrical system. I found a great person, a master craftsman who can do it all—electricity, plumbing, carpentry. Amazing guy: Paul Ernst. His name is at the top of the list, which has a random order.
