How it goes
Tell us what is happening and where. Emergencies get triaged on the phone — sometimes the first thing we do is tell you which breaker to shut off before we arrive.
We open the panel, test the affected circuits and tell you what is actually wrong, including the parts you would rather not hear.
One number for the work described, before it starts. Options where there are options — the repair now versus the replacement that stops it recurring.
We do the job, label the circuits, clean the space and walk you through what changed and what to watch for.
Reviews
Our 1948 place still had knob and tube in the attic. They rewired it in stages so we never lost power to the bedrooms, and patched better than the last contractor we hired.
Breaker tripped every few days for a year. Two other electricians replaced the breaker. Ascot found a back-stabbed outlet behind a bookcase in about forty minutes. Fixed and done.
They did our tenant improvement over three nights so we never closed. Panel, subpanel, twenty new circuits and all the display lighting. Invoiced exactly what was quoted.
Questions

Yes — path, uplighting, security, soffit and low-voltage landscape systems, with the transformers, timers and photocells wired properly rather than run off extension leads.
