-Arrived onsite and started in the garage to test the wire feeding the well system and everything on the panel end checked out and is verified working. I then was taken to the basement where i looked into the well pump switch, which also checked out fine and then the well control box. It was reading that there was a short on the load side. I unhooked the uf wire inside the pump box and tested between the 2 hot wires and there was a short reading between them, but nothing to the ground.I then went out to the yard and unbolted the top of the well and pulled the wire out that was connected to the uf wire and took apart the splice. I had no short going back to the house but the splices were also made up poorly. I tested the well wires that go down but got a normal reading at that moment. I did the splices properly and went inside to the well box and found that the well wires function in a normally open manner. So i did a regen test on the system to make it activate and circulate a lot of w

We have diagnosed the wiring for exterior post lights. We have determined with customer that there is a broken/cut wire. Customer wishes to find the damaged wire first and then have us back to make repair. We recommend having the panel and service cable addressed as they appear to be deteriorating.

Today’s visit was for exterior receptacles not working. We first checked the panel to make sure all connections were good and stable. We then checked the garage where the panel was located and saw the tripped GFCI. The receptacles came back on, however, it is just a matter of time before it happens again. The exterior receptacles are not rated for outside and one is cracked. Customer is selling the home and did not want to move forward at this time as they are working now.

installation of new 100 amp sub panel located in the garage. The sub panel currently is fed off the main panel in the home and then ran via aerial drop over to the garage. We would replace the service cable from contact point and replace both service drops on the garage and the home. Service cable on the home is very brittle and showing core exposed to the elements which is very hazardous to the electrical system.

Reason for today’s visit with the customer was installation of three outdoor lights and two outdoor receptacles. All lights were customer supplied and installed as is. We reused the lightbulbs from the older fixtures. The switch controlling all the new installed lights is located in the kitchen switch bank. The new receptacles were installed with new weatherproof bubble covers and upon our departure everything was working as intended. Please note that the new outdoor side light is dusk to dawn motion detecting and will only turn on at night if the switch is turned on.

Reason for today’s call was the master bathroom not being properly vented. We went up to the attic to double check and the customer was correct. There is in fact no venting to the outside for the exhaust fan. The exhaust fan also works intermittently and sounds like it’s on its last leg. While doing our assessment, we saw that the panel was original to the home in 1989, there was a multi wire branch circuit on single pole breakers, the water heater was not bonded, there was no surge in the panel, and the receptacle below the panel was broken and should be replaced. We gave the customer options for all things, including an option to provide the exhaust fan himself. Customer wants time to think about it and will get back to us. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Today’s visit was for partial power loss in the foyer area, leading to the upstairs and the lighting in the master bathroom. The devices were backstabbed, and that is what caused the power loss. I was able to restore power and replaced devices on that circuit. I recommend replacing all devices throughout the house to prevent this from ever happening again. We were called out for the same issue a few years ago and my fear is this will continue if not addressed. Please see attached estimates to get this taken care of for you.

Arrived onsite and the husband showed us to the kitchen lighting that his wife was wondering if i could adjust the dimmers to turn the lights down lower. I took the plate off and tried again but i already had it set at the proper, and lowest setting without it causing any flickering or issues. I showed him and reassured him they cannot go lower, and proceeded to show him what would happen if i turned it lower, and the flickering that insured. I set it back to the proper place and reinstalled the plate. I still let him know that there is 2 recess in the main countertop chain that are starting to go bad, and will flicker out if not replaced in time, but otherwise everything’s in working order.

The reason for today’s visit was to initially provide a solution for updating the gas cook top to electric. When we arrived, we saw a 100 amp Zinsco sub panel located in the kitchen. The panel was a stab loc panel with after market breakers installed. We also saw the panel had sheet metal screws holding the cover on. When we first took the panel cover off we saw many signs of hazards such as a big arc spot located on the main lug. After speaking to the home owner the best option that was discussed was replacement of the main panel and relocating it by flipping it around facing the living room. While in the home performing our assessment, we saw the home had many out dated devices that had previously been painted over throughout the years. These devices were beginning to fail and were dropping appliance cords out when in use. We also saw that the one smoke detector was battery operated and did not have proper safety requirements throughout the home. We provided a solution on installing

Arrived onsite and the resident showed me that he ripped his wood stove and was put in a fireplace insert that was gas. I was shown to the panel, and took a look around and came up with an option if it didn’t need a dedicated feed, but we hadn’t confirmed the draw of it yet. He printed out the manual and between the running fan and the igniter it would, at most, pull 2 amps. I offered to do a dedicated circuit as well but he wanted to have it done off a nearby source, which was the outlet to the right of the fireplace. I wrote up the options and he went with the nearby source. I removed the old outlet next to the fireplace and installed an af/gf outlet to give the insert outlet the proper protection, while Tyler ran the UF from the fireplace hole to the outlet i was tying it into. He strapped it back and then came in and installed a metal fs box in the back of the fireplace, where the Manuel said there would be plenty of clearance for the plug. The outlet is installed, all holes are du
