service was performed, and they did a really nice job. The second time, we had them perform work on the same house, but we were living out of state. They required our credit card information before they would go to the site. Although, I asked how much the work would cost, they would not give me an estimate without going to the site. Even at the site, they did not provide an estimate. After the work was done, they told me how much they were charging, which was about $500 more than expected (based on previous work) and than competitor's pricing. After arguing with Ward Electric about the issue, we eventually took the matter to our credit card. Mr. Ward was not at all interested in coming to a compromise or resolution. We also took the issue to the Better Business Bureau, where it was never resolved. Ward Electric would not substantiate their charges with itemized costs. We received resolution through our credit card because Ward Electric did not provide the requested information, so we ended up paying around $250 instead of the $816 Ward Electric charged. I strongly caution people against using Ward Electric.

Heritage Home Service is proud to serve residents from Massachusetts. We are the area’s premier home services provider and for 35+ years, we’ve brought the Heritage touch to homes throughout the state.
"I was told that the fee to simply come into my house to assess my furnace (that was not working) would be $260 on a Wednesday afternoon... and I was told this fee would not be absorbed into the work if I chose to have it done. If this company charges such an exorbitant assessment fee, I could only believe they would inflate other fees as well. I hired another local company for half that fee to assess then repair my furnace. Shame on Heritage Home Service."

Electrical questions, answered by experts
There are three main wires on a doorbell, typically color-coded white, black, and green, that are connected to a transformer box in your home. One wire runs to the doorbell button, another wire runs to the door chime, and the third wire runs between the doorbell button and the door chime.
Installing a circuit breaker is best handled by a local professional electrician. This project requires following strict electrical codes, and might even involve permits. Not only can electrical work be dangerous, but without the proper training that a pro will have, you could cause further damage to your home’s electrical system.
The color code for the common sprinkler wire is white, and then you can assign the remaining color codes to the rest of the wires for different sprinkler zones. For example, you could use red for the first zone, then blue for the second, and so on.
Color-coding helps you keep track of which wires go to specific zones so that you or a pro can address any issues or repairs quickly. Check your local electrical code for any requirements regarding sprinkler wire colors.
When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.
Breakers are designed to trip and be reset, so there’s no countdown to when it will malfunction. The danger lies in a break tripping multiple times in a row without—well, a break. The breaker and the wires need time to cool down after an overload. Multiple tripping in short succession exacerbates the problem that breakers are preventing, overheating the electrical components and causing damage. That damage can extend to the breaker itself, so a breaker that trips a lot in a short timespan may trip accidentally afterward.
