“June 2016 We experienced a power surge one week ago. Our oven (electronics fried). Our surrounding sound components cooked also, as well as our satellite receiver. The transformers on the furnace, telephones, and modem burned out. Our air-conditioner would not come. Several light bulbs blew out along with several fluorescent lights in the recreation room. Lucky my cell phone was working. I put in the words electrician Washington DC and up came Crescent Electric. Crescents Electrician assessed the damage restored power where safe to do so, got a list of needed parts and returned next day with help. We had installed a square D whole house surge suppressor installed. The job now complete. I used electrician coupons paying the invoice. Thanks, Gene, Greg, & Brian. “

“I am an Electrical Engineer although having studied power surges in the past; I never had much of an opinion on surge protection until just recently I had a surge. You could see it happening. The lights would go between dim, normal and bright. Some breakers would trip. This surge burned up a surge protector strip which in turn, burned up the power supply to some electronics plugged into the strip. It seemed the surge loved to destroy transformers such as furnace and A/C unit. I called a fellow worker and friend to see if he knew of an electrician I could contact, he highly recommended Crescent Electric.  I called Crescent talked to Gene, and he sent me an electrician whose name was Bob. Soon after Bob checked the main power panel, he informed me I had grounding problems. Bob found loose ground connections in the main electric panel. Also, the ground clamp was knocked off the ground rod apparently from grass mower. Bob, the electrician, fixed all problems and then made a suggestion I use online electrician coupons to help purchase a whole house surge suppressor. I took him up on his proposal, and I now have a new square D surge suppressor. ( tree limb caused power surge)”
