Report
We had a fault in our breaker box one of the breakers went off and we lost most of our outlets in half of our condo. Same day I emailed compass electric and they walked us through what to do to make safe and the very next morning Kevin Nilsson showed up at our condo. He was very nice, well dressed and easy to speak with, he had a mask on and used Covid protocols the entire time. Kevin found the source of our short in one of the outlets pretty quick and fixed the issue and then checked the other ones as well. Being a Veteran with disabilities Kevin moved all the furniture for me to get access. He

Report
Had a wiring problem with our sewer pump.
Compass attended to inspect. They ignored the install manual and the fact that the pump was wired with lower amperage than the manual instructed and claimed there was no problem with the wiring. The pump caused a sewer back up in my home, an insurance claim and months of restoration work. I would recommend Anyone Else.
