Local Electrician Annapolis MD

Arrived onsite and the resident showed me the dining room light that they wanted moved. I took a look at the space, about how far it would have to move to be center of the table, and how i would execute it. She also talked about getting the hole from the old spot patched and having us put a custom medallion up if she orders it so i wrote her up an option to do it with and without the medallion.

The reason for today’s visit was to assess power loss in several outlets. I was able to determine that the living room receptacle next to the TV had a constant power at the bottom and the top was switch controlled. I was also able to find that the receptacles in the back office area as well as the porch lights were not working, which was due to the fact that someone disconnected the wire in one of the receptacles in the office. What I’m assuming happened was that the motor in the fireplace fan was causing the breaker to trip so they just disconnected all the receptacles. I disconnected the power going to fireplace blower and reconnected the other wire back to the receptacle and everything is back up and running. I do however recommend installing whole home surge protection in the main panel to protect him from harmful voltage spikes that can damage the electrical equipment in the home.

Installation of new range 3 prong outlet and appliance cord. Current set up has been melted and severely burned due to something coming in contact with the plug/cord.

We will also be installing a new surge protector inside the home. The home has had surges and already has lost an appliance. Arrived on the day the work was to be done and installed the 2 new ground rods outside by the meter, and took the new ground into the main panel and landed it so the house is grounded correctly now. I installed a vortex surge inside the main electrical panel as well on the breaker with the dryer so he knew where it was easily. After that Cole has told him we were going to replace an outlet in the living room that was broken so we replaced that as well. Everything’s in place, tested and verified working.

Today’s visit was for panel “. While talking to the customer to understand what needed to be addressed, I discovered that he has an older panel, a subpanel, and a circuit that is dead tripping. The subpanel is in good condition, and does not need to be replaced. However, the main panel is from 1984 and should be replaced. We would replace the service panel, replace the service cable, update grounding and bonding, install an emergency service disconnect, and install a whole home surge protector required by today’s safety and code standards. I also included an option to troubleshoot the circuit that is dead tripping. Customer would like to think about it and get back to us. While on site, he did explain to me about a lights on the back porch that was on constantly, and was not controlled by a switch. Upon further investigation, I found that the wiring in the switch was incorrect so I addressed the issue and replace the switch. Back lights are now working as they should. Please see atta

-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

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.

This solution does not reflect any drywall or paint repairs that may need to be done for the circuits to be installed. Included is a list of referrals for such scope of work. Installation of two new whole home surge protector (one in each main panel) to further assist in protection of the main electrical system.

Troubleshot flashing lights in the basement office to find that the light itself and gone bad. We found a very similar fixture and went out and purchased and came back and installed it. Light is not working properly. While on site with performed inspection of the main panel as well as electrical system and found that the panel itself is original to the home from the 1979. We then went outside and found that the service cable itself it was deteriorating, and the insulation is chipping away. This is leaving expose neutral wires to the elements.

-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. Installation of a new whole home surge protector to further assist in protection of the main electrical system.

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!
