Reason for today’s visit was to look at a GFCI that would not reset. When I arrive customer inform me that it was a GFCI that we had located on a previous visit roughly 4 years ago. She stated that it appeared to be a problem after Verizon had installed a new line to their house. After examining work done was determined that the issue was that the GFCI button was beginning to stick and not reset as easily any longer. My recommendation was to replace the GFCI. After I provided a pricing for the GFCI Customer decided to proceed with work. After Investigating what was causing the GFCI we found that there was an extension cord that was plugged into the receptacle that ran out a pond in the front yard. I recommended customer purchase a weatherproof covering for the plug in the front yard so that moisture would not getting inside and caused the GFCI to trip.

Customer originally called due to a power loss on outside receptacles The one gfci was not a weather resistant gfci and was rusted but the power was on for it. So we just removed the bad gfci and installed a weather resistant gfci with an in use bubble cover. After examining the outlets outside i checked the panel and installed 2 new breakers to see if the breakers were the issue due to the fact i saw nothing wrong with the outlets or the wiring. Turns out it was the breakers so i replaced a single pole 20 amp ch breaker and a 20 amp gfci single pole breaker and the circuits worked fine. Customer doesnt plan to be in the home much longer as i informed him the panel was older and the wires inside were tangled and poorly installed but the customer did not want quotes for that or other things in home so we respectively just stuck with the customers request to fix the issues he called us out for

The reason for todays visit was customer wanted to price out having an EV charger installed for his tesla. After introducing the customer showed us the vehicle location and where he would like the charger installed in the garage. After viewing those two areas, we began downstairs where the panels were located. They were two 200 amp Siemens panels with multi shared neutral circuits. Customer last year had previous work done and the panel on the left showed one circuit that was not in a bushing and had wires exposed causing a possible shock hazard. After inspecting the panel, we began viewing the rest of the home and saw no issues with devices or concerns. Today i offered customer two estimates: one being a EV charger install through the drywall and landing in the garage. This option also has correction of the panel as well. Second option was for EV install, Panel correction, and whole home surge protection. AT this time, customer would like to take some time and review the quote. He

We have looked over the problematic circuits in home, while on site I was not able to recreate any power loss to the kitchen or bathrooms. I did find that several of the areas in home do have the original aluminum wiring in place delivering power to these areas. I also observed several illegal splices in panel where aluminum had been spliced to copper. The 2 dissimilar metals are not rated to touch. It is my belief that there exists more splices like these at receptacles, switches and light fixtures. Pricing for recess lights added to kitchen has been included in the “Prevent” solution.

I did find a few double tap neutrals as well as a few double tapped breakers. I did also find a hanging wire located at the bottom of the basement stairs that needs a junction box installed.
