Anyone have any recommendations on honest, reasonably-priced electricians in the area? Or at least someone that can tell me why one of my electrical outlets isn't working. It's one of two outlets in a bedroom. :/

do you have a GFI nearby - sometimes if it's tripped, outlets along the path are also out. Otherwise, it is probably just a bad outlet and needs a quick replacement. Sometimes they go out, especially if the previous electrician "poked" in the wire inst ead of doing a pigtail connection. I really like Tann Electric. Hired them after calling KCPL and crying about the two consecutive bad contractors I'd worked with and asked for a referral. Tann Electric: (816) 361-7337 One of their electricians even drew me a diagram to explain how my three way switches worked. You can use me as a reference if you want. They've worked on both of my Hyde Park houses.
Tann Electric. After two terrible electricians (one came highly recommended from a HP real estate agent) I called KCPL and cried on the phone and asked who they used (that was years ago). They recommended Tann and I've used on two HP houses. One of th e electricians, Lonnie, understands old house wiring better than anyone I've met. Even showed me where other electricians had given up and shoved wiring back in the wall (after charging me for repairs they didn't complete, and where the previous owner did "stupid" owner tricks.
