Today’s visit was for partial power loss of home.

We found the wire capped off in the panel. When we reconnected it to the panel. The first floor lights came back on, but there was still an open neutral somewhere. When I started talking to the customer about a extended diagnostic fee to find the issue, they declined and told us to turn the circuit back off.

After meeting customer, we began inspection at the panel and saw a 1979 QO 200 amp panel with many safety violations such as double tapped neutrals and double tapped breakers. We also saw that there were many dead end circuits inside the panel that are no longer being used. After speaking to the customer we then created solutions based off recommendations and what customer wanted and we provided those solutions to him at this time. Today there was no solution that fit to the customers needs and will call back in if deciding to get repairs done.

Arrived at the residence and was shown to the top back bedroom with a ceiling fan the resident had installed and wasn’t working. I found waygos were used for all connections but the bigger issue was that the variable speed fan where’s were all under one waygo, when according to the wiring diagram it should have come with female and male connection ends to be able to plug and play. The fan did not come with that and even when I corrected the wiring, the receiver was shorted. There is also a variable speed fan controller on the wall that turns it on and off so I recommended it be replaced with a regular white decora single pole switch to mitigate any future issues. I wrote an estimate for the switch and fan installation once they get a new one from amazon.

After meeting with customer, she showed me the lights and the switch that controlled them. The lights were older 120v canopy style lights with weather resistant AB square boxes in the base of them. After discussing options with the customer on exactly what she wanted, she stated there may be a point in the future where the home is sold so a budget was a concern of today’s visit.
