Michael & Son Services has been serving the metropolitan area for over 30 years, established in 1976 by my father Mousa "Mike" Mansour, along with the help of my mother Siham"Suzi". My Father had an all too typical poor immigrant story; leaving school at the age of twelve in order to work to help support his family, he started learning the electrical trade at the age of twelve. After immigrating to America in 1968 he found work as a union electrician during the day and worked for his customers on week nights and weekends. Since the age of 6 years I tagged along with my father on any Saturday, school holidays and summer vacations. I enjoyed working with my father and the friendship we had. While my father wasn't a wealthy man he gave me a wealth of experiences and a great foundation for both the technical skills and values that would define the man that I am. He taught me the value of being an honorable man of your word. I owe all that I have to what my parents gave me.

Installing a ceiling fan is a great way to save money and energy. Besides, it is going to give you beauty to your house.
