2nd opinion need for electrical issues at rental property -

Hi BP Community, my husband and I have a rental (~15 years old) in the Oakley area of Asheville, NC. Since about May, we have had various tenant complaints, all electric-related -- no electric at one point, HVAC not running at full, now a musty smell when dryer or oven run. 

We have a property manager who handles maintenance and they send out electricians when there is a problem, and they do keep us updated. 

But given that this is the 3rd straight month with different, but related issues, we want to get a 2nd opinion. 

We're out of state landlords but could take a trip and meet someone there. 

Any recommendations on a good electrician/ contractor/ handyman who might be able to do a comprehensive diagnosis, rather than a whack-a-mole, fix this-then-that approach? Thanks so much!
