Stinky Johns.

This is a small operation. The state puts the crew at one to three people, and the owner does the work rather than dispatching it. Jobs come mostly through referrals and repeat customers instead of advertising. That suits standard service calls on an existing house: troubleshooting a circuit that keeps tripping, checking and repairing household wiring, replacing worn devices. Commercial electrical work is outside what Stinky Johns does. New construction and major remodels are a different kind of job too, since those are build-out work rather than upkeep. Spokane's seasons shape electrical maintenance more than people expect. Winter is when older homes show their limits, with space heaters, heat tape and holiday lighting loading circuits that were wired for far less. Cold snaps and ice storms also bring outages and surges, which can damage panels and connections. Late summer and early fall are good times to have wiring checked, outlets tested and outdoor circuits looked at before the freeze. Dry summer heat is a reason to look at attic wiring and exterior connections too, since brittle insulation and loose fittings fail more easily when everything is baked dry.
