"This company is obviously nationwide and hires local contractors.  I trusted Agies List that all contractors are licensed, bonded and have background checks.  This person was a handyman and not qualified to wall mount, conceal wires, add electrical outlet.  He  spend five hours in my home, for a job that should have taken two hours and left the area in a disaster.  The TV was hung close to the ceiling, the wires were hanging down from the TV, and the receiver was sitting on top of a plaster box because the cord was too short.  He was obviously not qualified to install TV wall mounts.  I have photos.    As soon as he left, I called Best Buy Geek Squad.  They were able to come out the next day and mount the TV professionally.  I have used the geek squad in Virginia and they are highly qualified.  They charge more than this nationwide company but you get what you pay for.  I called Angies List the day after the disaster and said i did not want to rate this company but I wanted to talk to a manager. No one called me to apologize. I have cancelled my membership.  Do not use this company unless you can be assured that the local contractor is qualified and is licensed.  You should never let anyone into your home that has not had background checks.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Schedule electrical work in Chariton if you notice frequent outages, burning smells, flickering lights, or warm outlets—these are signs of potential home wiring issues. Homes built before 1970 or with panels over 25 years old often need updates. Spring is ideal for major projects before AC use, while fall is best for heating checks. Don’t delay if you experience shocks or persistent electrical safety concerns.

Helpful?

In Chariton, electrical maintenance should address the area’s humid summers and cold winters by prioritizing annual inspections of electrical panels and home wiring. Test GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages monthly, and check surge protectors every few years. Before winter, inspect outdoor outlets for weatherproofing. If you rely on a generator, schedule seasonal maintenance to ensure electrical safety and reliable backup power during storms.

Helpful?

To keep your Chariton home safe, start each spring by checking for winter damage to panels and testing GFCI outlets. In summer, inspect for overheating and pests in outdoor boxes. Fall is ideal for weatherproofing outlets and checking heating system wiring, while winter calls for monitoring for ice buildup and condensation. This routine helps prevent electrical issues and supports year-round electrical safety.

Helpful?

The longevity of electrical work in Chariton depends on using corrosion-resistant wiring and components to handle local humidity, ensuring proper grounding for the region’s clay soil, and protecting outlets from dust and chemicals common in agricultural areas. Adhering to local permit requirements and electrical codes is essential for safety and compliance, helping your home’s electrical system remain dependable and up to standard for years.

Helpful?

In IA, you can safely reset circuit breakers, test and reset GFCI outlets, change light bulbs, and replace surge protectors—always with dry hands and the power off. Use insulated tools and avoid electrical work during storms, which are frequent in Chariton. For example, if a barn outlet repeatedly trips, it’s best to call a local professional to address potential wiring or outlet repair needs.
