For this call, I came out to assess a receptacle that was not functioning properly. While looking in the panel testing the breakers, there were a few breakers not properly wired serving multi wire branch circuits as well as no whole home surge protection. I brought this to the customers attention as well as the solution for the receptacle and completed all of the repairs today. The customer enrolled in our VIP Care Plan as well. Replace bad receptacle in garage Replace (4) single breakers with (2) 2 pole breaker for multi wire branch circuit remediation in panel Install (1) Whole Home Surge Protector in panel

Called out to install customer supplied chandelier in first floor study. Upon removing the old existing light fixture we saw that there was an old 8B screw in style box supporting the light which could not properly support the new chandelier. We installed the proper fan bar brace box to support the weight of the new light and crystals (customer stated they would install said crystals themselves). Additionally we installed a new Caseta Smart dimmer switch to control an existing light fixture in the dining room to match study Caseta switches. Due to secondary switch being inaccessible because of furniture on the opposite entry to the room we disconnected said switch and installed a pico remote next to it and more easily accessible spot. Disconnected switch was removed and replaced with a dummy switch.

The reason for today’s visit was to take a look at removing a ceiling recessed light can an d to have it replaced with a normal ceiling fixture box in preparation for a new light fixture. When we arrived, we met with Mr. Ernie, who showed us the light above the kitchen sink that he would like swapped out. I asked if he was interested in either a dimmer to control the new light fixture as well as a keyless fixture for temporary lighting while they finish the kitchen ceiling repairs, both of which were declined at this time. Today, I’ve installed the new bar brace box above the sink and have it centered with the kitchen window. The wiring has been capped off and the box has a blank plate installed. - Removal of recessed can light above kitchen sink and installation of bar brace box to support new kitchen light fixture

Returned today to complete previously agreed upon work. Today we removed 4 6” recessed can lights (demo). Once all lights were removed we verified to the switch leg. This switch would then be re-routed to desired location roughly 1’-1.5’ away. Once location was established we created a 4” hole and installed a new fan brace box. This brace box is mounted stud to stud. We stuffed this box with the switch legs that was re-routed (14/2) and capped the wires off for future installation of light fixture. We also replaced a kitchen counter top receptacle. We replaced this receptacle with a white tamper resistant receptacle and installed a new nylon white cover plate. We also removed an old 2 gang work box that was not mounted to anything, it was floating with the support of the wire. This box was located on the kitchen counter top. Once this box was removed we noticed a 4” drain pipe that was in the way and was the reason that this box was not mounted. We did not have a a box shallow eno

Called out today to check voltage to kitchen outlets. Using my plug checker and volt meter, I got the proper nominal voltage of 12 volts. Due to the age of the plugs, the internal contacts are wearing out and sometimes does not allow a voltage meter to get the correct reading, resulting in a reading of between 12 and 36 volts. I opened up several receptacles and saw that they were original to the home (2005) and that the were starting to separate from the front and back of the receptacles due to the glue deteriorating and the metal plates causing the separation. While performing my safety assessment, I saw that there were multiple multiwire branch circuits not on the proper two breakers, as well as a lack of surge protection. These two pole breakers prevent the neutral from being possibly energized due to the other circuit being on while the other is off.
