Riva MD Electrician Services

The reason for today visit was to provide a solution on a customer buying a home with aluminum wiring and remediating it. When we arrived we saw a 100 amp Square D QO panel with many signs of concern. We saw double tapped neutrals, shared neutral circuits, over sized breaker for the AC and missing grounding. Home is currently set up on well water. We also saw during our inspection that there were missing GFCI protection through out the home. We saw the outlets and switches were mainly aluminum wired directly to copper which can cause overheating and power loss. We provided a solution today on changing all the devices in the alongside replacement of the main 100 amp panel to the 200 amp updated system. Today after speaking with the potential buyer, she explained she would be considered closing on the home around the new year and at this time no work has been scheduled. If she decides to move forward when closing she will then call us back out to begin work.

Visit was for multiple requests by the customer. We also saw a couple of safety concerns while here as well. Please see below for work performed.

Today we replaced the single pole switch that controlled the kitchen lights as well as one of the three-way switches that controls the dining room light. We also installed two GFCI in the kitchen and place some standard receptacles near the sink and replaced the two receptacles in the basement for the sump pump GFCI with audible alarms to let you know if the sump pumps stopped working. We also installed three new smoke/carbon monoxide detectors in the home (one on each floor). we also installed missing plates on junction boxes in the basement as well as secured, hanging wires and removed hanging junction boxes.

I removed the plastic box in the dinning room ceiling and installed a ceiling fan rated metal side mount box

Today’s visit was for pier power not working on different circuits plus moving panels. There is a lot going on which would need ample time to diagnose. Please see solutions to get this resolved for you.
