MJM Electric

Last week I contacted MJM Electric, a local electrician company, to install our newly purchased kitchen light fixture and also to fix our backyard security light which stopped working last month. Joe from MJM came this morning and did the work.

He took down our old very large not working properly kitchen fixture and replaced it with the much smaller and round new fixture. It also had three different settings for

bulb brightness and color. Actually it's an LED light rather than a bulb. Now our kitchen is very bright. The kids will be happy. I also have some painting to do on the ceiling.

We were lucky it's trash day because I was able to put most of that kitchen light fixture including the four long fluorescent blubs out on the street for trash pickup which happened about then minutes later. I had already put out several large trash bags of leaves and nuts so I didn't want to put too much stuff out there on this regular trash day. So the heavy large part of the fixture I put in the shed for next week's trash.

He also took care of the security light problem which turned out to be two bad bulbs that may have burned out after the hail storm last month. The light stopped working after the storm. One bulb went completely out and the other just flickered. It really didn't look like it was an ordinary burned out bulb which I had considered. We have another security light fixture on the sunroom that worked fine when turned on and I thought about switching the bulbs with the lights on the back of the house but didn't really want to be climbing up that high on a ladder just to try it out. Called the electrician.

He went up on his ladder and took out the bad bulbs and asked if I had new bulbs. Instead I had him take the two bulbs from the other fixture and put them in the security fixture to see if they worked. They did. I then had him put the two bad bulbs in the sunroom fixture where they didn't work there either. So now at some point I will buy a couple of replacement bulbs for the light fixture in the back and I will also get a couple of new bulbs for that security light as we don't know how long those replacement bulbs will last. It was odd that both bulbs would go at the same time but the electrician said there may have been a little damage to the fixture due to the storm although there was nothing obvious and the replacement bulbs seemed to work fine. I'll be testing them out over the new few days.

The MJM Electric company will be sending us a bill for the work. It will be interesting to see how much they charge us for changing those light bulbs. The service was good and I would use them again.
