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!
Any reason to travel there yourself? Your manager should be able to coordinate a second opinion inspection
Call Crown Electric. I know everyone is very busy at the moment but that is who I use when I have a problem. For plumbing I use TP Howard and for HVAC problems you can try Messer Heating and AIr or American Air. Another option is MB Haynes although they are more than likely the most expensive but they do it all.
