I'd check with Alan Byer (205-7504) first -- he used to be an electrical contractor and now does handyman work (including wood work and electrical) in TV. Handieman from this forum also does some electrical work. If neither of these work out, call Ron Troutman -- he advertises in the Daily Sun.

Default use a electrical contractor not a handy man

please use a Electrical Contractor... we have seen A LOT of problems with handy men trying to do electrical work...
look in the Daily sun or yellow pages, look at the BBB and look at there web site, if the electrical contractor does not have at least a "A" rating and a full page ad in the phone book, watch out

If a licenced electrical contractor does his work professionally and reasonably, and gets most of his work from referrals who are happy with his work, why would he need a "full page ad" in the phonebook?

Default Alan Byer would be our choice

He is much more than a "handy man" He knows his stuff
