Customer originally called us out to check out a broken pull chain keyless light fixture in laundry room. When i examined the issue the customer decided it was best for me to run a 14-3 wire from the light junction box in the ceiling and run that to the outside wall of the room so i could install a single pole light switch inside an old work single gang box. I then supported my wires in the ceiling i then installed a new switch controlled keyless light fixture that we supplied. On my safety evaluation i noticed that the customer had multiple double tapped neutrals inside the panel and they were missing a whole home surge protector. I removed all the double tapped neutrals also the grounds that were incorrectly installed under the screws. The national electrical code required neutrals to be under their own separate screw and grounds may have 2 under the same screw but must be same size. So i made it so the neutral bar is up to code. Also the range circuit neutrals were separated

For this job i met with the customer for quote on installation of new exhaust fan.

The original call was to check power loss to a dishwasher and a receptacle located at the kitchen island. During the initial troubleshooting phase, I noted the dishwasher plugged into a gfci near garbage disposal. There were no gfci receptacles in kitchen, but protected by a gfci breaker. I noted 2 other receptacles without power. The breaker must’ve been tripped. Approaching the CH BR 200A type panel, i noted no surge protection. During the assessment portion, I noted the lack of surge and potentially damaged GFCI receptacles in the home. The customer chose the upgrade solution, which included 5 new GFCI receptacles, a new combo breaker for the kitchen appliance circuit, and the premium surge protector. We installed new GFCI receptacles at the sump pump, panel, first-floor bathroom, and 2 GFCIs under the kitchen sink. We replaced the older combo breaker for the kitchen appliance circuit and, lastly, installed a premium surge protector at the panel. The customer declined the me

I removed all devices on Home GFCI circuit then I installed a tamper resistant GFCI that was underneath the electrical panel there has to be a GFCI there due to the fact that there’s a concrete floor and an unfinished area everything outside I installed temper resistant weather resistant GFCI’s with new in use bubble covers when I opened up all the junction boxes I spliced all the appropriate wires together than pigtail off the splice took the single wire and landed it on the line side of the GFCI this is to ensure the best and safest possible connection throughout the electrical circuit I also line sided all the GFCI’s so that if a GFCI trips in one area on the circuit it will not affect the rest of the circuit it will send power to the rest of the GFCI’s outside and underneath the electrical panel I remove the existing GFCI breaker so that way there was not a nuisance trip and I installed a standard single pole 15 amp BR breaker Customer is also now a VIP member

The reason for today’s visit was customer had a single pole light switch in master bath room that did not work. While doing my performance and safety assessment, I noticed multiple points of concern. The panel was a 2002 Homeline QO MLO with double tapped neutrals. I walked throughout home with customer and pointed out things that I saw. The home had devices that were very loose and the springs were worn in the receptacles to the point that plugs were falling out. While doing P.S.A I also saw outdated Carbon/smoke combo in the center of the living room. Customer did not have any smoke detectors in bedrooms. While plug checking, I saw one of the GFCI’s on the kitchen island had a broken face on the device. I also noticed that the washer did not have any GFCI protection as per NEC code. Customer declined any work at this time and only approved discounted service charge.

We have provided pricing for the ceiling fan installation.

Was called out to look at a microwave circuit tripping. Went to the panel to assess the circuit and upon my investigation noticed the panel was rusted and the neutral bar is corroding. There is also moisture build-up in the panel as well. I did not see any grounding in the panel which led me to look at the main water shut off and saw there was no grounding there either. I highly recommend getting the panel replaced as it is a major safety concern. This will entail replacing the panel, updating the grounding and bonding, assuring the home is safe from any potential risks that could happen as a result of an unsafe electrical system. Work performed today (11/20/23): Replaced the panel, updated grounding and bonding, and added surge protection. We will follow up to schedule the inspection and BGE. Thank you and have a great day!
