Called out today to troubleshoot 2 outside porch lights that were flickering and dim. These fixtures are LED and bulbless. The LED strip is exposed to the elements and possibly damaged. The light on the porch is also flickering slow which can indicate a safety issue OR a damaged fixture. We checked the main panel. The main panel is in good shape, all connections are proper (we tightened some connections down), all voltage is correct ranging from 120 volts to 240 volts. The COULD have surge protection added.

Replace QO120DF that is constantly tripping with a new breaker of the same type. Includes Haas and Sons VIP Membership. Called out today to investigate a Dual function breaker protecting the bathroom plugs that kept tripping. I opened up all the plugs on the circuit and discovered that there were no bad connections or wires touching. I then disconnected the circuit in certain location to see if a device was causing the breaker to trip. I then took the wires off the breaker, and it continued to trip. This told me the breaker was bad and needed to be replaced. I also talked to the customer about adding surge protection in the panel, which helps to protect the specialty breakers in the panel and all of the sensitive electronics in the home from surges. Customer agreed to replace the breaker and purchase the Haas and Sons VIP Membership.

Install GFCI on dedicated circuit for Verizon box. Currently, the Verizon box in on the house GFCI, which causes the loss of the internet if that GFCI trips. Includes Haas and Sons VIP Membership. Called out today to resolve an issue where the Verizon box would lose power, as well as to investigate a kitchen circuit that was tripping. Verizon box was plugged into the house GFCI, and when it rains, the GFCI would trip. I recommended installing a new dedicated circuit just for the Verizon box next to the panel. Investigating the kitchen circuit, I opened all devices on the circuit and saw no signs of loose connections or overheating. This tripping happens infrequently, and could be nuisance trips from the coffee maker. If this continues to happen, I recommended replacing the breaker. Customer agreed to installing new circuit, and also purchased the Haas and Sons VIP Membership.

For this job, I came out to provide pricing for the installation of a new dedicated 50A circuit for customer supplied Level 2 EV Charger as well as a dedicated 40A circuit with a receptacle for a heater outdoors. Upon looking in the panel and a the main service, I determined in order to do so we would need to increase the power into the home from 200A to 350A. With this we would be updating the main grounding, cold water bond, installing whole home surge protection for each panel, emergency disconnects on the exterior of the home for each panel. At minimum we would be adding a 150A main panel to the existing service and bringing the existing panel up to today’s minimum safety standards if not updating both. All options include permitting and BGE coordination done by Haas and Sons. Discussed what the installation process would look like , our in house payment options starting at 12 months 0% deferred interest and our VIP Care Plan.

Today’s visit was to provide solutions to replace the original electrical service/main panel. We were called out due to the fact that there is corrosion in the current CH panel from around 1995, this came up during the home inspection. When I arrived, the homeowner had the panel cover off and showed me the damage to the panel. I noticed heavy corrosion throughout the panel, as well as some above the panel in the closet, most likely from water entering that panel closet some point previously. We went over what the process would look like for removing the current service/panel and installing new equipment to refresh the life of the home’s main panel. This would include the installation of a new emergency disconnect on the exterior of the home, new grounding via ground rods/copper ran to the main water line where it enters the home, installation of whole-home surge protection and all other necessary items to meet current code/minimum safety standards. We will also handle all coordination

Today's visit was to take a look at installing two new LED Flat-Panel lights in the kitchen in place of two original fluorescent fixtures. When I arrived, I took down the light cover to determine which circuit was linked to the lighting, and found that the location for the fixture boxes were not conducive to the requested layout of the new (more rectangular) fixtures and the circuit would need to be extended to those new locations. I also noticed that the smoke detectors in the home were older/missing/had no batteries. I offered to provide a solution to install new units and Ms. Arlene let me know that they had two new hardwired/interconnected Smoke/CO detectors that I could use. My solution(s) today included installing the two new kitchen light fixtures, changing a 3-way switch to control said lights with a dimmer, and to replace the customer-supplied detectors. I started by changing the detectors, and re-wired with new splices at both locations due to paint covering the splices. I mo

Today’s visit was to install a new GFCI receptacle in the master bedroom toilet area to provide power for a bidet, as well as to replace two pendant light fixtures above the kitchen island.

Today’s visit was for the gas water heater that broke, and they wanted an opinion on converting it to electric. There is unused power in a disconnect right next to the water heater location that we could use. We would run our new wire from the disconnect and strap it and strip the wire for the plumbers to connect when they replace the water heater. When we opened the panel we found major overheating on the main lugs and buss bar lugs. We wrote a solution for the overheating by replacing the main bus bar along with all the lugs. The panel cover, body, and bus bar does not show signs of overheating so we wouldn’t replace the whole panel.

We will also clean up the panel by way of removing the double tapped grounds and neutrals inside of the panel that were pointed out during home inspection. Today’s visit was to inspect and provide solutions for replacement of a damaged main service cable. When we arrived, we saw that the main service cable was very damaged, and the tape that had covered it was also starting to wear through. Wow took a look at the main panel, where the homeowner also informed us that their home inspector had flagged the double-tapped ground/neutral wires in the main panel. During our inspection, we also found a lack of surge protection, and (3x) multi-wire branch circuits. Today, we provided solutions to replace the service cable. This process would include the installation of two new ground rods with bare copper run inside to the main panel, to meet minimum grounding requirements for the home. Our solutions also included options to inst

The reason for today’s visit was to assess bathroom outlets, not working as well as the living room and kitchen receptacles, tripping at the same time. The first issue we addressed was the kitchen and living room circuit in which we found that the three plugs as well as three lights in the living room area are on with one of the kitchen receptacle circuits. The circuit also has the microwave and the refrigerator on it as well. Customer stated when she runs the air fryer in the microwave at the same time it shuts off all these areas. I informed customer that this was wired in properly that the living room should’ve never been put on with the kitchen circuits as that has not been legal for decades before this house was built. I provided solution solutions to run, dedicated circuits up to the living room, receptacle directly above the panel to separate from the kitchen, as well as to run a new circuit for the microwave. The next issue was the bathroom plug is not working in which I found

Trouble shot, tripping our fault breaker for the kitchen lights and found that there was a slow leak coming from the trap for the shower above the light fixture. This was causing water to drip down inside the light and caused it to ground out causing the breaker to trip.

For this job I worked on a power loss issue in the basement. We found multiple burnt up receptacles and conductors on the circuit. Additionally, we found a few switches not functioning properly. We suggest at minimum replacing all the devices on the circuit and rewiring each box along with the installation of a surge protector in the main panel, as there is not one currently present. We also noticed no GFCI at the washer in the basement as well as (2) multi-wire branch circuits improperly wired in the panel, being on (4) single pole breakers rather than the necessary (2) 2 pole breakers with a common trip handle. We suggest having these safety items remediated to meet today’s safety minimum requirements.

Reason for today’s visit was to assess power loss to the front bedroom, closest to the front door of the condo. When I arrive, customer stated that he had already tried troubleshooting the room however there was only one receptacle that had power. Some of the devices were already pulled out. I then sucked my tester on the first receptacle that was not working, and I immediately noticed there was no continuity between the neutral and the ground. This is normally a sign that there is a trip GFI somewhere before area in question. I could see outside the window right there on the porch. There was a GFCI receptacle in an in used cover. I stepped out onto the balcony and opened up the cover and noticed that the GFCI was indeed tripped. I reset the GFCI and power was restored.
