Troubleshoot Power Issue

Upon inspection, we found that the power supply at the meter main was compromised due to a missing leg from the incoming feed. To resolve this, we adjusted the wiring for the lights, ensuring they operated effectively on the remaining operational power and successfully restored functionality to the affected areas.

Home Inspection Corrections

An inoperable living room outlet was flagged during inspection. Upon investigation, we found that a switch near the kitchen controlled this outlet, restoring its functionality. Additionally, we addressed the front entryway light, which was not operational due to its dusk to dawn feature, preventing it from turning on during daylight hours.

Bathroom Lights

Outdated bathroom vanity lights needed to be upgraded for a more modern look. We expertly removed the existing fixtures and installed the customer-supplied LED vanity lights, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the bathroom environment.

Repair Trailer Home Main Feeder

The existing three-conductor SE feeder was found to be non-compliant as it should not be buried. We removed the old feeder and installed a PVC conduit from the trailer pole to the panel. A new 2-2-2-4 USE-2 wire was laid to meet NEC Code standards, and appropriate ground bars were added to properly separate grounds and neutrals in the panel.

Troubleshoot EV Charger

Intermittent functionality of the EV charger signaled an issue, leading us to inspect the panel. Upon examination, we found that both the EV and air handler breakers had failed, necessitating their removal. We replaced them with new breakers and discovered loose connections on the air handler, which likely contributed to the failure. Using a thermal camera, we checked for any hot spots to ensure safety.

Emergency Service Call

Power flickering and tripping breakers indicated a potential issue, which we quickly addressed. Upon inspection, we found a loose neutral connection within the panel. We secured the connection and added a jumper to ensure both sides of the neutral bus were properly tied together, restoring stable power to the circuits.

Troubleshoot Breaker Tripping

The issue involved a breaker consistently tripping whenever the front porch switch was activated. After investigating the panel, we discovered that the existing breaker was malfunctioning. We proceeded to remove the faulty breaker and installed a new one, restoring functionality to the porch switch.

Panel Replacement

After receiving a call about sparking from the electrical panel and loss of power in half the home, we arrived to find that the B phase had failed due to a lightning strike. We removed the damaged 200 amp panel and installed a new one, complete with new feeder breakers and a whole home surge protector to prevent future incidents.

Front Porch Receptacle Installation

To enhance safety and functionality, we installed a back-to-back receptacle on the front porch, incorporating a GFCI outlet and a bell box with an in-use cover. After completion, we verified that the voltage levels were accurate and the system operated correctly, ensuring everything was up to code and ready for use.

Install Fan Rated Box

To enhance airflow in the bedroom, we installed a fan rated box at the center of the room. We ran 14/3 Romex wiring from the switch to the fan box and wired a switched receptacle to keep it constantly hot, allowing for convenient fan control. The setup ensures optimal functionality and comfort.

Repair Faulty Lights

After a lightning strike led to a total of 14 inoperative bulbs, we promptly arrived to address the issue. We successfully repaired all faulty lights, ensuring the home was fully illuminated once again. Additionally, we left extra replacement bulbs with the tenant for future use.

Emergency Service Call

Several breakers had tripped, causing electrical disruptions. We reset the breakers and confirmed proper voltage and operation throughout the system. Upon inspection, we identified a loose connection on the air handler breaker that led to overheating. We resolved the issue and informed property management that a replacement may be necessary, although it was functioning correctly at the time.

Garage Power Repair

Responded to a loss of power in the garage and diagnosed an issue with the neutral connection affecting the circuit. Accessed the electrical panel and corrected loose and improperly terminated neutral connections, including service conductors that were not properly secured from the original installation. After making necessary corrections and tightening all connections, restored power and verified proper voltage and operation.

Exterior & Interior Lighting Upgrades

The outdated landscape lighting around the backyard pool deck was in desperate need of an upgrade. We swiftly removed the old fixtures and installed the customer-supplied lights, enhancing the overall ambiance. Additionally, we replaced the front yard lighting, upgraded a coach light at the back of the house, and revamped the foyer with a SwitchX dimmer and track strip lighting. The dining room chandelier switch was also replaced, ensuring proper voltage and operation were verified upon completion.

Room Addition Electrical

To enhance the functionality of the new sitting room addition, we installed a dedicated circuit from the electrical panel directly to the new space. This included the installation of a dual function breaker in the panel, as well as six new outlets for added convenience. We also connected a switch and the customer-supplied light fixture to complete the setup.

Loss Of Power Troubleshooting & Repair

Power For Outdoor Water Softener

To provide reliable power for the outdoor water softener, we connected it to the garage's electrical system. We installed a GFCI-protected quad outlet in the garage, ensuring safe outdoor use. Additionally, we mounted an outdoor-rated bell box with an in-use cover for added protection and convenience.

Dedicated Garage Receptacle

This installation provides a reliable power source, preventing overloads and ensuring optimal performance for the appliance. We meticulously connected the circuit to meet all safety standards, offering peace of mind for the homeowner.

Outdoor Water Softener Power Installation

To ensure reliable functionality for the outdoor water softener, we connected it to the garage power supply and installed a GFCI-protected quad outlet. Additionally, we mounted an outdoor-rated bell box with an in-use cover, ensuring safe and convenient access for outdoor electrical needs.

The loss of power in the bedroom indicated an electrical issue that needed urgent attention. Upon investigation, we discovered that the septic pump was improperly tied into the bedroom circuit, causing a fault. We removed the damaged wire and informed the customer that a new feed line would be necessary to properly power the septic pump.

Receptacle Repair

An outdoor receptacle circuit was non-functional due to loose wiring and a damaged weatherproof cover. We successfully repaired it by securely reconnecting the wiring at the GFCI receptacle and replacing the cover. After ensuring all connections were tight, we confirmed proper voltage and functionality of the circuit.

Matt came over to give me an estimate to add a connection for a swim spa. I had recently had a shed installed with a sub panel and thought it would be easy. Unfortunately, the previous company did a terrible job and most of the work was not up to code. Matt and is team did the initial work to remove the immediate danger and will be bringing us up to code. I am thankful to have a honest and professional company I can trust. Update: they completed all rework from the other company. The swim spa had some issues with the internal wiring that the spa company is sending someone out to fix. I am thankful that Matt and his team ensured everything was good. They could have connected it and left me with the unknown issue like the last company did since it would have taken another day to fill the spa and test it. Very happy with the professionalism!
