GFCI Installation

Identifying safety concerns in the home inspection report, we installed up to 7 GFCI outlets to enhance electrical protection. Each outlet was fitted with covers, ensuring compliance with safety standards in all flagged areas. This proactive approach not only resolves issues but also fortifies the home against electrical hazards.

Kitchen Lighting Rewiring

Corrected the wiring for the kitchen lighting by removing improperly routed wiring and installing new wiring from the existing switch location to the light fixtures using the most appropriate pathway. Secured the light boxes as needed and reinstalled the existing light fixtures. Surface raceway was utilized where required to complete the installation. Verified proper voltage and operation upon completion.

Whole-Home Rewire

Completed a whole-home electrical rewire by replacing existing branch circuits throughout the home, updating circuit protection, correcting electrical deficiencies, and bringing the electrical system up to current code standards.

Electrical Inspection Report

During an electrical inspection of the property, we discovered multiple code violations and safety hazards that warranted immediate attention. We thoroughly assessed the entire electrical system, pinpointing issues that could pose risks.

Troubleshoot Shower Light

When the light fixture in the shower failed to illuminate, we conducted a thorough inspection and discovered that the switch box lacked power. After investigating in the attic, we determined it was efficient to pull power from an adjacent GFCI outlet to the switch box, ensuring the connections were properly remade for reliable function.

Home Inspection Corrections

Electrical issues identified during the home inspection led to the removal and replacement of 10 grounded receptacles with two-prong outlets, accommodating the home's ungrounded two-wire circuits. GFCI protection was installed in both the hall bathroom and kitchen receptacles to meet safety standards near water sources. We also resolved wiring polarity issues with the master bathroom fan and successfully paired its remote and receiver, restoring its functionality.

Home Inspection Corrections

Completed electrical repairs identified during the home inspection. Corrected nine ungrounded receptacles by replacing improperly installed three-prong outlets with code-compliant two-prong receptacles. Also installed a bonding conductor to properly bond the home's gas piping to the electrical grounding system, bringing the installation into compliance with current electrical code. Verified proper operation upon completion.

Ungrounded Receptacle Corrections

Unsecured electrical outlets can create safety hazards in any home. We removed outdated three-prong outlets and replaced them with 14 new two-prong outlets, effectively correcting ungrounded connections. Each outlet was installed with brand-new device covers for optimal functionality and safety.

Install dual function breakers to protect two wire system to bring up to code.

Tankless Water Heater Power & Smart Switch Installation

To enhance the functionality of the home, we installed exterior GFCI-protected power specifically for a tankless water heater. We also completed aluminum wiring terminations using approved connectors on an existing circuit and installed a Lutron smart switch system in the kitchen, including associated remote switches. Finally, we verified proper voltage and operation to ensure everything was working seamlessly.

Kitchen Circuit Upgrade – Nuisance Tripping Correction

The single circuit powering the entire kitchen was causing frequent nuisance tripping, leading to disruptions during food preparation. We addressed this issue by installing an additional circuit, effectively balancing the load and enhancing the kitchen's electrical performance. This upgrade ensures reliable power for all kitchen appliances, preventing future interruptions and improving overall efficiency.

Electrical Inspection

During the electrical inspection, we identified ungrounded receptacles in the dining and sitting rooms. We also observed that multiple neutrals were improperly secured under a wire nut in the electrical panel instead of being attached to the neutral bus. Additionally, cloth-wrapped wiring was connected to a two-pole 40 amp breaker. These issues were addressed to enhance safety and compliance.

Ground Gas Line

A concern arose regarding the grounding of the gas line. We ran a #4 bare ground wire around the side of the home, ensuring it was securely bonded to the meter main. This work enhances the safety and compliance of the gas system, providing peace of mind for future use.
