The reason for todays visit it’s the customer was to quote adding an outlet in the basement bath, adding four recess lights located in both basement guest bedrooms, and adding dimmers to both sets of recess lights. 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.

Installation of grounding/bonding to the home by way of bonding all metallic systems together by way of water heater appliance. Installation of new fan control switches for master bedroom, sons bedroom and daughters bedroom. Along with replacement of switches, removing current single gang box and turning it into a two gang box with a switch controlling the fan speed and light fixture dimmer. Installation of two new ceiling fans (customer supplied) located in the son and daughters bedroom to replace current old fans.

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.

The reason for today’s visit was inquiring about replacement of current four landscape lights in the front yard. 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. I gave the option of adding an outlet on the outside of the garage deriving power from current outlet located on the garage wall. This outlet would supply power to a weather resistant outlet with an in-use cover and also power customer supplied low-volt transformer for new customer supplied landscape lights.
