An Electrician's Troubleshooting Diagram

After careful consideration and thought, McKenzie Electrical Contracting Services decided to embark upon incorporating a software designed by us for our service electricians to troubleshoot electrical problems with ease.

We gave the software engineers the data required, and the results they gave us were nothing other than stellar.  We now have the ability to figure out a variety of electrical problems in seconds due to the genius of the sub-contracted group of software engineers we invested in.  What that means to our customers is a much lower bill due to the fact that service calls (for all companies) is charged by the hour.

Here, we have given you the same input data we have given the software programming engineers to make this possible.  This chart will completely eliminate 9/10th's of the guesswork the average person (electrician or non-electrician) would use trying to figure out what exactly is the electrical problem.  Please enjoy this free gift we have given to you...
