replace CH 30 amp 240 V breaker for the dryer The reason for today’s visit was to assess a tripping breaker for the dryer. Customer stated they purchased a new dryer earlier this year however we’re not having any issues until recently. Customer took herself to the subpanel on the second floor, where the dryer circuit came out of in which we immediately noticed that the panel was a much older, CH panel. The breaker that was powering the dryer was a 20 amp 240 V breaker. We had the customer turn on the dryer for us and the 20 amp breaker was allowing 27 A to be drawn through it and was still not tripping. We informed him that this was the wrong size breaker and that it should be replaced however we highly recommended full replacement of the subpanel due to the improper wiring and size and the age. And then went down to the main panel on the first floor, and which we noticed it was roughly of the same timeframe. It appeared to be a late 70s early 80s style vertical throw main breaker pane

Installation of new smoke detectors located throughout the home. This includes two hard wired units The reason for today’s visit was to provide pricing for hardwired smoke installation. Upon walkthrough customer mentioned they were renting out the home soon. We saw the customer already has hardwired smokes on the first floor and upstairs in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. Via code and Anne Arundel county fire department a renting space does not need hardwired smoked in the bedrooms. We informed customer of this which they just w noted to go ahead with replacing the existing smokes with new ones. BRK smokes have a 10 year warranty and are battery sealed.

Install customer supplied ceiling fan, running new line from existing switch to fan rated brace box in attic. Replace pull-chain keyless light fixture in attic. Includes $100 discount. Called out today to provide a solution to install a customer supplied ceiling fan in a new location. I took power from an adjacent switch and installed a fan rated bar brace box to support the fan. Due to the framing in the attic, I had to send the new wire down an adjacent bay to avoiding damaging existing wiring. This required me to cut across the bay underneath to the existing switch. I replaced the switch and made the line constant power to the fan. The fan is wired in such a way where it can be easily converted to switch controlling both the light and the fan. Fan is currently wired to be turned on and off from the fan pull chains.

Install 2 fan upgrade kits in bathroom fans on 2nd floor and basement bathroom. Replace pull chain fixture

Replace 3 smoke detectors 1 unit on each of the 3 floors. The reason for today’s visit was to check the smoke detectors that were randomly going off in the home. After closer inspection, we found that the smoke tactor‘s were roughly 11 years old and due for replacement. We went ahead and replaced all three smoke detectors at the Home with new standards of detectors as there is no gas, burning appliances, or attached garage.

We have provided pricing for the installation of the transfer switch.

Installation of a new 200 amp service cable. Current service cable on load side of home has a burn/corrosion opening around the entrance to the Millbank Meter Housing. We would install new load side service cable from the meter to the panel. Installation of a new 60 amp rated dedicated circuit for a spa disconnect on the rear of the home. We would install new SEU from the panel (through sheet rock and the wooden headers) then running through the back storage area. The disconnect would then have liquid-tite landing into the spa with THHN supplying power. Additionally, we will be correcting shared neutral breakers and grounds sharing the same lug as neutrals.

Quoted installation for a 50 AMP Spa Pack. We noticed other electrical safety hazards at the panel and in the service cable. We provided three quotes but ultimately the service cable is too big of an issue for us to proceed without handling that as well so correcting that was included in all of the quotes. The spa pack would run through the ceiling above the bar then into the utility room where it would then poke through the outside of the storage room and be mounted beside the water source. Customer at this time is reviewing pricing.

We will install a new 100 amp circuit for customer supplied hardwired 80 amp charger. We will run line underground out to a post right in front of the driveway.

Reason for today’s visit is to provide pricing and options for installing power for a customers car charger. My first solution is to install a weather existent 50 amp plug on the side of the home roughly 20 foot from the panel in which we will pipe out of the unfinished basement and down the wall. Customer would like us to run a circuit able to handle 100 A so that if he upgrades to the larger 80 amp charger it will already be there. In order to do this we will have to set a weather resistant junction box underneath of the new charger and step the wire down to be able to install The wire on the 50 amp receptacle. The second solution is to run a new 100 amp circuit from the main panel out to a post next to the driveway. The run is roughly 63 feet underground. We will then install a 4 x 4 pressure treated post and install customer supplied charger.

Replaced outlets in all 4 bathrooms with GFCI’s. Replaced customer supplied pull chain in ceiling fan in master bedroom and repaired power loss to light and exhaust fan in the powder room. All bathroom outlets and powder room lights are now operational.

Customers powder room on main level receptacle as well as both outdoor outlets are not working. Found a gfci in basement that was working but not sending power to rest of circuit and needed to be replaced. Also the outdoor outlets are not weather resistant and have bad gaskets around them letting water get inside and should also be replaced. Both outside outlets were replaced with weather resistant gfcis and new heavy duty in use cover to be code compliant. Main gfci to left of panel was replaced with a new gfci. The powder room receptacle was just replaced by homeowner and is black in color so it was re installed after re wiring of the device and basement bath was replaced with new gfci. Now anytime one of the gfcis trip at any location only that device will turn off allowing the rest of the circuit to continue being used. Verified proper operation of all completed work with customer.

Customer called about inspection corrections The home gfci in the basement under the main electrical panel was damaged. But the outside receptacles that were on the load side were rusted and beyond repair. So I went through that circuit which was two outlets outside on the 1st floor, 1 under the electrical panel and all of the bathrooms throughout the home and in each box I spliced all the hots together and the neutrals together and the grounds together then pigtailed off the splice and installed a tamper resistant GFCI in each location and line sided it through. This makes the locations gfci protected and will send power throughout the circuit only tripping the gfci that’s effected with a fault. The outside devices are tamper resistant weather resistant GFCIs with in use bubble covers over them and siliconed for the best protection against weather and water damage I also went into the main electrical panel and installed a ground bar allowing room to free up all the double tapped n
