The reason for todays visit as to provide a solution on installing a new dedicated circuit for a customer supplied EV charger. Today as we arrived, we began inspecting the panel where we saw a 200 amp homeline panel installed in 2002. The panel showed 3 shared neutral circuits with no surge protection. The customer was made aware of the panel health and a solution was provided. I also spoke with the customer on a device that was failing (3 way at top of steps) that caused the lights to begin to flicker in the hall and landing. Customer also stated the lights inside of the dining room were working intermittently and we saw that these devices were back stabbed causing pre-mature power loss. After discussing options and not having the EV charger on site, customer would like to take some time and reflect on todays visit then if deciding to move forward will contact.

Arrived onsite and entered through the second front door, which was the car port that was converted in to a separate addition to the house. Upon arriving i was told that the baseboard heaters don’t come on at all, and they’re controlled by a thermostat on the wall. I opened up both panels where the terminations are on the baseboard heaters and the thermostat, and tested the thermostat which was a variable speed, but was wired incorrectly from the start when they first installed the system, so that only the high setting would work as an on off switch. I confirmed the both turned on at the high setting, and had 240v. They both did, so i began discussing possible solutions to alter the setup but it seems an on off switch is what they wanted in this situation so i put everything back together and turned them on so they could feel them working.
