For the past few weeks, the electricity in most rooms of our house have gone out in the late evening, for a while, and then gone back on after irregular periods of time. I thought it was something wrong with our home, which was built in 1958 and still has the original wiring. I fixed some things I thought were causing the problem, but the power went off again, this time in the morning, a change in the pattern. I called Rinewalt, and within 30 minutes a technician arrived at our home, after the power had returned. He spent some time discussing the situation, and checked the main fuse box, and reached the conclusion that the problem was outside of our home, possibly from the power poll, or the lines coming into the house, which ran through several tree branches. He suggested we contact the power company to check the outside lines. He seemed to know what he was doing, and explained things to me so I had a better understanding, and could communicate this to the power company, which I did. Rinewalt Electric not only did not make any effort to run up the bill with unnecessary repairs, they did not charge me anything for the call.
