-Arrived onsite and the resident showed me to the kitchen where they had a whole list of things they wanted to address. Most of which could be done today, and a lighting project i wrote up and will email so she has the pricing for when she wants to move forward. First on the list today, was an outlet in the powder room that wasn’t a gfci but should be, so she had us swap that out. Next, was a gfci on the front porch that wasn’t working. Upon opening the outlet up the gfci had gone bad so we ended up replacing it with a new WR TR GFCI and in use cover. After that, we went to the upstairs hall bath which had another gfci that wasn’t working, but upon inspection was also bad. We replaced that one as well. The plates for the GFCI’s due to the countertop spacing needed to be cut, but she asked that i leave the plates so her husband can cut them himself. The next thing was removing a ceiling fan from the family room, and putting a white blank plate on it. Following that, we went up into the

Reason for today’s visit with the customer was to quote installation of a car charger. Customer has a quote from Constellation for the charger install. At this time customer requested time to think about it before moving forward.

Installation of new dedicated circuits to supply power to the kitchen counter top appliances. We would utilize a new 20 amp circuit to supply power for the microwave. We would also then install a new 20 amp circuit to supply power for Ninja Air fryer as well located on the kitchen counter. Both circuits will have a decent amount of drywall damage from the basement area leading over to the electrical panel.

-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

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.

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!

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.
