Crownsville MD Electrician Services

Arrived onsite to complete the whole home inspection, but also look at two outlets in the back bedrooms, both switch Controlled that were having partial power issues. I did my inspection, found the breaker tripped for the outside outlets and then worked my way up to troubleshoot until i needed to dive into it deeper. Once i had a bunch of stuff pulled apart and was able to break the circuit up, i found the loose connections in the back of each switch , in the aluminum terminations. I recomended and we ended up completing the alumicon’d on both switches, replacing the devices, and adding bonding to the hot water heater for the hot to cold water pipe.

This solution includes the replacement of the damaged receptacles. We have replaced the 2 damaged receptacles in the upstairs bedroom.

Arrived on site and the residents showed all the areas they wanted to address today. I also completed a full performance and safety assessment throughout the home, and found that the home is in need of a full home re-device. I also found the main panel to be missing a whole home surge protection, as well as the electrical panels in the basement in need of desperate attention. The wiring surrounding the basement panels needs to be redone and tidied up, and the two sub panels in the basement are corroded, have rust on them, have double tabs present, have miss matched breakers in them, and are in desperate need of replacement. I will notate the following in my assessment, but the residents advised me to hold off on writing a quote or addressing the following due to the fact that they may be moving in the future. - Replace a outlet that has gone bad due to age, with new outlet - Replace GFCI in the bathroom due to face damage and degradation. - Replace two expired smoke detectors with two

The reason for today’s visit with the customer was to quote installation on an EV charger. When arrived i saw a 06 CutlerHammer BR 150 amp panel. After assessing the panel, i saw with a load calculation that the panel was very undersized and recommended to be at a 200 amp. This conclusion was done by doing a Mike Holt load calculation on the main panel not the sub panel. The sub panel housed a few of the services in the home such as the added area in the basement alongside the dryer/washer circuits. I also saw the 150 amp service did not have a proper insulator tied to the home, the cable was swinging in the wind and only held up by a screw in the service head/strap. I spoke about a few options with the customer including updating the main panel to 200 amp and updating the grounding and bonding in the home. I spoke to the customer as well on any financing options as well as the timeline for replacement. At this time no work has been scheduled.

Arrived at the home and the resident walked us around and showed me the list of things she would like done. I walked all the projects with her and gave her my input and i came up with options and then presented them to the resident. After our discussion she made her choice and we got started on the following items. -Install 2 customer supplied solar lights onto both front corners of the garage. -Remove one outlet that will no longer be in use in the garage cabinet, and set it in the wall properly. -Come off the existing garage wall switch to add an inside wall sconce for increased visibility. -Install dedicated 120v 20 amp line from sub panel to the garage wall, to add a dedicated outlet for a fridge freezer combo. Come behind the walls, into the crawl space, across the house, and drill up into the garage and install a gfci for both fridges to plug into on the back garage wall.
