Diagnosing Power Loss by Expert Electrical Contractors in Odenton, MD
When we are called in to diagnose the loss of power to your home, whether it’s the entire house, half of the house lost power, or just a few outlets and fixtures, we typically take a few steps to identify the problem. We’ll check the circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. If it has, we’ll reset it and see if power is restored. If it keeps tripping, that indicates an overload or short circuit on the circuit. We can also check for fuses in older homes and help you obtain a permit for major work. If the circuit breaker is working correctly, we may inspect all the outlets and switches in an area without power to look for any signs of damage or loose connections. We’ll also check for tripped GFCI outlets. To check these outlets and switches, we’ll use a voltage tester, or a multimeter which we calibrate regularly, to see if there is power present at each outlet or switch. This can help determine if the problem is just one outlet, or in multiple outlets. If our electricians suspect a wiring issue, we’ll inspect the wires in the powerless area to determine if there’s damage, a fixture that’s faulty, or loose connections causing a short, or burn damage to the wires. We may also use a wire tracer to locate any breaks in the wiring. We use tools like pliers and wire strippers to get the job done right. We can troubleshoot and test your main circuit breaker box to see if there are any issues with the breakers or wiring, and make sure everything is properly grounded. We also handle generators and transformers. We splice and terminate all wires with precision.
Installing Dedicated Circuits near Odenton, MD
There are a few reasons why you might want a dedicated circuit in your home. Firstly, it can help prevent overloading of the electrical system, which is a potential fire hazard. It can also reduce the risk of electrical shock by making sure that only one appliance is connected to the circuit. Another benefit of having a dedicated circuit is that it can provide consistent power to an appliance, even if other appliances are being used at the same time. This is especially helpful for high-power appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, hot tubs, saunas, pools, or electric water heaters. Our services are specialized to connect all your appliances, and we also maintain your system to ensure everything is in proper working order.

The reason for todays visit as to provide a solution on installing a new dedicated circuit for a customer supplied EV charger. Today as we arrived, we began inspecting the panel where we saw a 200 amp homeline panel installed in 2002. The panel showed 3 shared neutral circuits with no surge protection. The customer was made aware of the panel health and a solution was provided. I also spoke with the customer on a device that was failing (3 way at top of steps) that caused the lights to begin to flicker in the hall and landing. Customer also stated the lights inside of the dining room were working intermittently and we saw that these devices were back stabbed causing pre-mature power loss. After discussing options and not having the EV charger on site, customer would like to take some time and reflect on todays visit then if deciding to move forward will contact.
Arrived onsite and entered through the second front door, which was the car port that was converted in to a separate addition to the house. Upon arriving i was told that the baseboard heaters don’t come on at all, and they’re controlled by a thermostat on the wall. I opened up both panels where the terminations are on the baseboard heaters and the thermostat, and tested the thermostat which was a variable speed, but was wired incorrectly from the start when they first installed the system, so that only the high setting would work as an on off switch. I confirmed the both turned on at the high setting, and had 240v. They both did, so i began discussing possible solutions to alter the setup but it seems an on off switch is what they wanted in this situation so i put everything back together and turned them on so they could feel them working.

Arrived onsite and began by taking outside photos of the meter and grounding, and then we went through the entire house together to complete the yearly maintenance. I found almost all outlets I came too were backstabbed and some upstairs have been replaced already by her husband. I talked to her about her smoke detectors and she and her husband are already putting in 3 combo nest detectors they are ordering. Upon going from the top of the house to the basement, it became apparent the house needs a re device so she also joined me in counting all the devices throughout the house. When I got to the panel, I opened it up and immediately found 2 double tapped breakers, 1 that was 2 circuits combined, and 1 that was both legs of a branch circuit on one breaker.

After inspecting the panel, i checked the integrity of the exterior outlets where i saw both had water damage/Mulberry flapper style covers that was allowing moisture to set in. After inspecting the outlets i began assessing why the breaker was tripping with the mower. The mower was an electric 12 amp plug in style mower. I plugged it into the garage then into the living room outlets and saw it was still causing a trip. I then plugged it into the washer outlet which was a 20 amp circuit and it caused a trip there as well.
