Local Electrician Annapolis MD

Called out today to look at replacing smoke detectors as well as install new smoke detectors throughout the home. Today we added 3 new smoke detectors, the 3 new detectors added are in each of the upstairs bedrooms. We jumped from the smoke/co2 detector at the stop of the stairs, to the first smoke detectors and so on and so forth. We also checked the main panel while we were here. The main panel is of concern. The panel itself looks original to the home (1984). The panel is showing its age. There are knock outs missing. There is no surge protection in panel. Grounds and neutrals are together. Breakers are loose and have weak connections to the busbar. There is also a breaker showing signs of arc damage near the termination point (took pictures). This panel should be swapped out with something modern and up to today’s NEC and safety standards. We’ve built solutions to replace the panel and add surge protection. ——— - Install 2 new Smoke/CO2 detectors for each floor. - Install

As of today July 15th, work has been completed and paid in full. We had to custom mount a new receiver. The new receiver would not fit in the canopy of the fan. The old fan had a “medallion” style receiver. We gutted the old medallion receiver, and mounted a new receiver within the “medallion”. Fan is operating as normal, with a new remote (hunter). We do recommend using different light bulbs in the fan itself. The current light bulbs are very dim and probably should be converted too an LED bulb to offer a brighter room. ——— Called out today to look at a ceiling fan that wasn’t operating correctly. We pulled the ceiling fan down and noticed a newer receiver wired to an old model “medallion” style receiver. We also noticed that this particular fan did not have a mounting bracket, it was sitting in the canopy and hanging via 2 screws. We removed the fan, the old receiver and temporarily wired the fan via a long wire. The fan does work with the new remote. We will be returnin

Panels are brand new but we did noticed that in the left panel, that were was burnt breaker and burnt bus bar. We’ve notified the home owner about this. Other than that the panels are in great shape, all grounds and neutrals are separated, surge protection, outside emergency disconnects etc. We also installed a new light above the kitchen island and replaced a receptacle under the sink that the disposal is plugged into and changed it to a GFCI.

The reason for today’s visit was to provide an estimate for Gable fan replacement. When we arrived, we saw an older gable fan disconnected in the attic. The fan was not connected due to the venting being covered by previous owners when they resided. We recommended a whole home attic fan install which would be a fresh install. Customer was also wondering the benefits to the attic fan vs re-insulating the whole attic and its benefits. Today we provided three solutions for today’s visit and customer will reach out if deciding to move forward.

Work 100% complete as of today July 2nd. New 200 amp panel, emergency disconnect and a handful of devices from the previous visit. ——— To return July 2nd 2026, to complete panel swap and complete the rest of whole home re-device. Today we were called out to look at some devices the home owner had installed as well as look at some old devices that were beginning to show their age. We checked multiple devices throughout the home. We noticed the age of the devices, the way they were terminated etc. We found that some of the devices were backstabbed. The devices were old enough to were they didn’t not have the option to mechanically terminate around the screws. These devices are going to be changed out, wired through and terminated properly. We’ve re-deviced roughly half of the 1st floor. We took care of 1 bedroom, missing one switch in the bathroom of this bedroom. We’ve taken care of the entire living room and dining room. We’ve installed a GFCI in the kitchen and multiple switches

Replace customer supplied door bell and transformer

Replace broken diva dimmer Add constant hot to switch box The reason for today’s visit is to look at replacing a broken dimmer switch in the basement at the bottom of the stairs. We also noticed that currently the existing dimmer for the first set of lights was also controlling and overriding the second set. We ended up fishing a new piece of wire from the lower dimmer to the dimmer right above it so that they would work separately. Finally, we installed a new diva dimmer to control the back half of the lights. They’re all working as they should. Well on site customer also requested to have a motion sensor disconnected from the garage lights. As a courtesy, we just went ahead and splice the wires through behind the sensor so that the sensor no longer worked and they would work off the switch as requested.

Replace a GFCI and receptacle in the kitchen. Called out today to investigate a Kitchen GFCI that had failed, a garage receptacle that was not working, as well as give solutions to install LED retrofits in existing recess cans. Customer told us they had experienced a power outage recently, and after power was restored, the GFCI would not reset when it tripped. I recommended replacing the kitchen GFCI and the adjacent counter receptacle on the same circuit. Going to the garage, the plug had no power going to it. Being familiar with homes built in this era, I knew there would be a GFCI protecting the plug. Going to the basement, there was a GFCI by the main electrical panel that had tripped. Resetting the GFCI restored power to the plug. Due to the GFCI in the kitchen being damaged due to an apparent surge when power was restored, I also provided a solution to install a whole home surge protector. Customer also wanted a solution to install 9 LED retrofits throughout the home. Custom

For this call, I came out to look at receptacles not working after recent storms and it was very obvious they were damaged by a surge as what was plugged in to the arch outlet essentially fried and the GFCI’s were blown. I replaced each damaged device. While on site, I took a look in the panel and noticed no surge protection. The service cable is severely damaged with no present weather head attachment. Additionally the meter is located inside next to the panel. The panel is maxed out space wise and consists of some breakers that are not even rated for panel. I provided a service upgrade solution and educated customers about our VIP Care Plan as well as our In-House Payment options starting at 12 month 0% differed interest. I also encouraged customers to reach out to Chesapeake Electric for 2nd estimate. Replace (2) GFCI and (2) Decora receptacles in bathroom.

Replace front receptacle with a GFCI The reason for today’s visit was to perform our annual maintenance as well as to check the voltage coming to the home and inspect wiring to the new air-conditioning unit on the back of the Home. We arrived at the Home. There was an heating and air-conditioning company already here who installed a voltage regulator with surge protection built into it for the unit. They stated that the control board has burnt down in it two times already so they installed this per the manufacturers recommendation to help protect the unit. Today we checked the panel as well as all the safety devices and the only issue that we found at this time was the plug on the front porch was lacking GFCI protection. We installed a new GFCI in place of the regular receptacle and installed a new in usecover.

Inspected attic fan and bathroom exhaust vent out. We inspected on the roof as well as in the attic and everything was installed properly.

For this call, I came out to assess a bad GFCI powering filter motor for pool. The GFCI was damaged and corroding. I replaced the GFCI and the breaker for the circuit, power is good.

Today’s visit was to take a look at replacing some exterior light fixtures & loose receptacles. When I arrived, I met with Ms. Cathy who showed me the fixtures that needed swapping on the exterior of the home (Two outside front door, a post light, one above the garage, one on the side of the garage, and one in the rear of the home above the sliding door). She also showed me which three exact receptacles she wanted replaced as they had come loose due to being heavily used for vacuuming over the years (Two on kitchen island and one on barrier wall next to table). While I was conducting my performance & safety assessment, I opened the main panels and found a few hazards including shared neutral/multi-wire branch circuits, a lack of whole-home surge protection, and double tapped grounds & neutrals. I also noticed a lack of GFCI protection for the sump pump receptacle, a missing bonding jumper at the water heater, and expired smoke/CO detectors throughout the home. I brought these concerns

The reason for today’s visit was till extend the pond quad receptacle box up a few inches so it is above the ground level. The previous boxes were right at the top of the retaining wall however, the ground level appears to rise after storms due to pushing soil and stuff down towards the wall. We installed a 4 inch rigid chase nipple to extend the box up and install a new two gang box with two new weather, resistant receptacles and a new in use cover. We also replaced a customer supplied floodlight on the back porch leading to the master bedroom as well as replaced the existing dimmer switch that controlled said floodlight with a standard decor toggle switch. For this estimate we will be stubbing up a new box for the previous gfcis for the pond and waterfall. The previous gfcis were to low to the ground and corroding from water leakage. Swap light and switch at master entrance

Today’s visit was to take a look at a smoke detector that had been alarming in the middle of the night. When I arrived, I met with Ms. Martha, who showed me to the only detector in the home. I took a look at the Kidde detector, and saw that the standby light was an orange color, which indicated that the detector was faulting. Today, I replaced the detector with one of our hardwired/sealed battery, 10-year rated BRK Smoke & CO Combination detectors. I’ve tested the detector and everything is now working properly. - Removal and replacement of defective smoke/CO detector in the hallway

For this call, I came out to replace a single receptacle with (2) quad boxes with GFCI’s. Replace (1) single receptacle with (4) GFCI’s in (2) 1900 boxes with RS covers

This estimate will include re-routing multiple cables supplying inside the crawl space. The reason to do this is so the cable can be properly installed through the floor joist as opposed to underneath them. This will allow proper installation of insulation to help prevent rodents from entering the home. This work will include disconnecting opened air splices and routing the cable through newly drilled holes in joist. Additionally we will install two junction boxes to house opened air splices. Lastly we will run a cable from the existing light fixture down to a new location by the door to install a light switch.
