Today I came out to your home to perform your yearly Peace of Mind Electrical Checkup. During the visit, I inspected your home’s electrical panels, grounding system, and safety components, as well as all electrical devices that were accessible at the time. The panels were re-torqued, and the grounding system was inspected to confirm the presence of the required two ground rods along with a proper gas line bond. I also inspected the crawl space for any wiring damage or unsafe conditions, and no concerns were found. Inside the home’s interior subpanel, the overall condition of the electrical system was found to be in excellent shape. Due to work meetings occurring during the visit, the AFCI breakers (Fire Guard Protection) could not be fully tested at this time. All accessible receptacles and switches throughout the home were tested to verify proper voltage and correct operation, and all devices tested functioned as intended. During the visit, you brought to my attention that the stair

Today I came out to your residence to provide a quote for installing a new hood vent as well as a drawer-style microwave. With your approval, I performed a detailed evaluation of the home’s electrical system to ensure the new appliances could be installed safely and in compliance with current electrical codes. This included inspecting the electrical panels, existing wiring, grounding system, and accessible areas of the crawl space. During the evaluation, I identified a non-used circuit that was previously installed for an electric range. I explained that this existing circuit could be repurposed to safely supply power for the new drawer microwave, helping streamline the installation while avoiding the need to run an entirely new circuit. In addition, we discussed potential safety and system upgrades, including whole-home surge protection and improvements to the grounding system. Based on the findings, I designed several solutions for properly installing the hood vent and utilizing the

Today I came out to the residence to assess the hot water heater that was not functioning correctly. I was informed that a plumber had recently installed the water heater and determined the issue was electrical in nature. With approval, I performed a visual assessment of the water heater circuit as well as the home’s overall electrical system. This included inspecting the interior sub-panels, open wiring in the crawl space, and the main electrical service located on the exterior of the home. During the evaluation, I uncovered several concerning conditions. The water heater was wired using single-strand aluminum conductors at an undersized gauge, which caused the wiring at the exterior service to overheat and begin melting the insulation. Within the sub-panel, I also identified that the home is entirely wired with single-strand aluminum wiring. While aluminum wiring was common at one time, it presents ongoing safety concerns due to expansion and contraction at connection points, which

Abhay called requesting installation of his electric vehicle car charger. Upon arrival, I met with Abhay and discussed what he was looking to have completed. I found that the builder had previously installed a 50-amp receptacle; however, the receptacle was not EV rated. Abhay already had a Tesla Wall Connector on site, which is designed to be hardwired only, and I also determined that the existing wiring installed by the builder was not the correct wiring type for hardwiring the Tesla Wall Connector, creating a safety and reliability concern. I recommended installing the proper, code-compliant wiring and hardwiring the Tesla Wall Connector per manufacturer specifications to ensure safe operation, proper charging performance, and long-term reliability. Abhay approved my basic solution, and I installed the correct wiring and hardwired the Tesla Wall Connector. After completion, I verified proper operation and confirmed the charger was functioning as designed. Abhay was happy to have his

Today I came out to the residence to assess the screen porch receptacles that were not functioning. Upon arrival, I discussed when the issue began and which devices were affected. I was informed that the receptacle by the TV on the screen porch was burnt, the GFCI (Shock Guard Protection) on the screen porch was damaged and that the front exterior receptacles were also not working. With approval, I performed a visual assessment of the home’s electrical system, including the electrical panels, safety equipment, and the affected circuit. During the inspection, I identified that space heaters had been used on the screen porch, which caused significant heat damage and burning to the wiring and devices on the circuit. I also found that the box for the GFCI (Shock Guard Protection) receptacle was pulling out of the wall, creating an additional safety concern. Further troubleshooting revealed that the issue was not limited to the screen porch and front receptacles, as a receptacle on the rig

Today, we came out to your residence to assess the master bathroom receptacles that were not functioning. Upon arrival, we discussed when the issue first began and whether any other areas of the home were experiencing similar problems. With your approval, we performed a visual assessment of the home and the electrical system and discovered that the issue extended beyond the bathroom receptacles. The crawl space light and the doorbell system were also not working, indicating a potential wiring or connection failure within the circuit. While inspecting the electrical panel, we brought to your attention that the existing panel is obsolete and has been subject to a recall, which presents a safety concern. We also reviewed several important code and safety items, including proper bonding of the gas line, upgraded devices and connections, fire protection breakers and whole home surge protection. While on site, we discussed multiple options to address both the immediate concerns and long-ter
