Last Thursday we (I) installed a new breaker panel box to replace one that was significantly rusted due to moisture in the basement. I still say “we” cause I know Dad is still with me and guiding me. 24 years ago my Dad and Brother installed the full service entrance. I would have been off from high school then cause it was summer so I possibly could have been there too.

When I opened up the old door to the breaker panel box, I noticed on the directory was my Father’s handwriting. Sometimes it’s little things like that, that mean so much and remind me that he’s with me every day. Typically we would scrap that door but this one I’m holding on to.

Today marks 7 weeks since he left this Earth. It seems like an eternity already. It feels good though to hear so many people with such good things to say about him. It hurts but I enjoy talking about him. I miss you Dad.

As some of you may know, the man who built the business up to where it is today, passed away on Thursday February 9th at home surrounded by family after a courageous 3 1/2 year battle with cancer. Dad continued to be out on the job sites until the middle of December when he no longer could due to his health. He continued the scheduling and billing at home. He absolutely loved his job as an electrician. Dad was a simple man and wanted to remembered as such, being buried in his jean jacket, King’s Electric work shirt, blue jeans and his work boots.

Many people showed up to pay their final respects including his former boss Darrell Shick. Dad started as an electrician working for Darrell at Shick Electric before eventually fulfilling his dream of owning his own business. When Darrell visited at the funeral home that Monday he said he didn’t know that Dad had passed away. He was taking a walk earlier that day when the wind blew a newspaper his way. He was about to just crumble it up but then decided to open it and that’s when he saw Dad’s obituary. That was definitely Dad letting Darrell know that he had passed.

I will continue Dad’s dream of the business by keeping it in operation and providing quality work. Although Dad taught me pretty much everything I know as an electrician, I’ll never be able to fully fill his shoes. He was the one who not only would do the physical work with me, he would schedule the jobs and write up the invoices. It’s always been a family business but now it’s just me. I hope that I can make you proud Dad. I love you and miss you.

Side Note: I apologize for not returning calls the past 2-3 weeks. Dad was hospitalized for a week at Shadyside and then I brought him home to be as comfortable as he could be. Taking care of him the best we could was my number 1 priority. I will be returning calls on Tuesday to see if those who called still need work done and if not I understand not being able to wait. Thank you to everyone for your understanding, thoughts and prayers.

The leader of our company, our father, Jeff Sr. is very ill. As some people know, Dad has been battling cancer for 3 1/2 years. We will be operating on a shortened weekly schedule for an unknown amount of time. We will return calls as quickly as possible. Thank you for understanding. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated as we try to manage this very difficult time.

Dangers of Space Heaters When Used with Power Strips & Adapters:

Today we replaced some receptacles in a residence that were burnt. The issue was caused by space heaters being plugged into power adapters that were plugged into those receptacles. The average space heater draws 1500 watts. The internal components of power strips and power adapters are not designed to handle that constant draw. Always plug space heaters directly into a grounded receptacle. House fires are caused every year due to people being unaware of this danger.

Shown in the pictures are 6 way & 3 way adapters that were burnt and also one of the receptacles we replaced, showing a heater being directly plugged into the grounded receptacle.

Stay warm but also stay safe this winter!

Grateful that we were able to be a sponsor. Thanks to the Scottdale Parks Commission and all the individuals involved with the hard work of making this possible. The scoreboard looks great!

As most of you know, we lost the backbone of our Company last Tuesday afternoon. Kim went Home to be with the Lord. She worked right along side us until she was called into the Ministry. She continued to do all the behind the scenes work for us. All the paperwork and tax preparations that no one wants to do. She took no credit but was proud to be called a part of our business since it started in 1989. She wrote her own obituary and in it, she thanked our customers for their continued support. In her free time, she loved cutting grass, as seen in the picture. She would always call it her much needed therapy session. Our Company will never be the same without you! We love and miss you!

Last night to see Everson’s beautiful lights for this season. Thanks Everson Civic!

If you’re driving through Everson tonight enjoy the Christmas lights for one last time this season. The Everson Civics always have the lights on through January 7th.

We had the opportunity to help keep them lit this holiday season when the rotary style timer failed to operate properly. While on our Christmas break, we installed a new digital timer at no labor cost. The Civics rely on monetary donations to fund the lights. If you’re able, please donate to them to keep the lights operating for years to come.

We hope everyone had a nice holiday season and a Happy New Year! God Bless!

This light that needed replaced today was filled with water from a faulty seal on a photocell. As seen in the video we were looking for Nemo. 🐟 🙂😂
