He is absolutely professional. I called him as I want to replace our faulty ceramic cooktop with Induction one. Jaron came and checked our Electricals output and suggested us type of induction we can go for. We are absolutely impressed with his skills as he did adjustments with amps to perfection and we are so happy to use our new appliance. Thanks Jaron for the job. We highly recommend Jaron 👍
