Reason for today’s visit with the customer was removing and replacing a hardwired pull chain fan on the back porch. The previous technician had completed all other requests during the maintenance. Today was finishing what was discussed when she was here last. At this time all work has been complete and the fan is working as intended.

Arrived onsite and was shown to then attic where the resident described the fan not functioning properly in hot weather, and told me he had to turn it down to 60 to get it to kick on. I tested it based off the ambient air temp of 82 and it kicked on at 60-85 in all intervals of testing up to that point. It seems to be defective at a higher temp so we will replace thermostat outside of warranty. Just past the one year parts and labor warranty for items. Also brought up the membership on today’s visit and he went forward with that as well. We replaced and verified the new thermostat is working.

Arrived onsite and the son was home to show us the list of stuff that the family would like adressed. I had him show me all the rooms, the attic access, and then i went around and took pictures of everything and began developing pricing while Tyler troubleshot the garage outlet. It turned out to be that a digital switch controlled the post light power, controlled that outlet. We got power back to it but the gfci had burning coming off it on one of the neutrals and i advised him it needed to be replaced. We had several phone conversations where i was led to believe they just wanted to be home to discuss it so we waited. Once they got home they didn’t like the pricing at all, and in the end told us to leave the garage outlet alone. I described what all they would get if they went with us, and it seemed the wife wanted the handyman to do it all for cheaper so i collected the 89$ service charge and went on my way.

Todays visit was a for a quote for a tesla level 2 car charger. We took a look at the panel and found that it was fully filled and had no extra slots. They had power to an incorrectly wired sub panel in the shed because it was only 120v. We did a load calculation and found we can add an 80amp sub panel in replacement of the wrongly wired one in the shed. We then would run power from there down the hill to the driveway for the car charger. We would also need to install posts to protect the car charger.

Arrived onsite and the customer showed us to his basement and gave us the rundown on his current electrical system. After discussing that and what we would need to do inside we all went outside and discussed where the line would poke out and where the charger would be mounted. Resident wants us to supply the charger but i encouraged him, to save money he could purchase it himself. Otherwise i wrote up 2 options, one with us supplying the charger and one with the resident supplying it, to run a line from the existing main electrical panel, going out and penetrating the exterior wall, and then taking it up in flex and hardwiring the charger we will mount.

Reason for todays call was c/o detectors chirping. They have a Magnum Alert 1800 control panel for the detectors. The amber light flashing and chirping indicates the battery backup needs to be replaced or there is a malfunction within the control panel. I advised the customer to reach out to the company to get system serviced. While doing my assessment, I saw the three panels were riddled with multi wire branch circuits on single pole breakers. The arc fault breakers in the panel were also making a sizzling noise. The arc fault breakers with the teal test button had a recall on them back in 2004 for being defective. I explained all this to the customer but they declined at this time. I also recommend getting surge protection in the 400 amp service for a preventative measure to safe guard the home.
