Report
I was having an issue with one circuit in my home. power would fail, but circuit breaker was not tripping. I kind of suspected the breaker itself, but without proper tools, I was not about to undertake a do it yourself repair of the panel. I contacted Salter and they were able to come the next day, which suited me well. Steve, showed up at the appointed time and within a very few minutes had properly diagnosed the problem and took steps to correct it. I was very pleased with his professionalism and skill. I unreservedly recommend Salter Electric for your electrical service needs...you will NOT
