The device was replaced with a weather-rated receptacle and fitted with a protective bubble cover. Silicone was applied around the cover to ensure proper water resistance.

Arrived at the residence at 9:05 to evaluate reported electrical issues. A preliminary discussion was conducted to confirm details of the problem. Inspection of the affected circuit revealed a back-stabbed receptacle and a failed neutral on the feed. Diagnostic authorization was obtained. A full safety check was completed prior to diagnostic work. Noted conditions included oversized breakers, exterior wiring lacking PVC protection, absence of required GFCI devices, and a panel in need of replacement. Relevant recommendations were documented.

Arrived on site to evaluate requested electrical additions. Scope of work included installation of a receptacle above the fireplace, along with routing of HDMI and speaker wiring. Conducted a full safety check and assessed the installation area to determine best routing and placement options. Presented proposed installation plan for review and approval.

Arrived on site to inspect a malfunctioning doorbell chime. Met with the homeowner’s representative to discuss the issue and outline potential replacement options. Safety check declined. Contacted the homeowner by phone to review the proposed repair plan and provide cost details for replacement of the doorbell chime.

GFCI in kitchen was found tripped; unit was reset, restoring proper function. Opened and inspected GFCI to confirm internal components were in proper condition. During inspection, a toaster oven plugged into a different receptacle experienced a heating element failure; receptacle was tested and found to be operating correctly.

Installed all requested smart switches. Most switches functioned correctly. Some switches did not connect to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi; issue appears unrelated to installation. Reviewed safety inspection findings and discussed the need for quotes on installing a Myers hub and adding GFCI breakers in the pool panel.

Evaluation performed for installation of lightning protection. Property has experienced two lightning strikes, resulting in significant equipment damage including an AC unit, garage door openers, low-voltage systems, internet components, and televisions. A fire occurred during the most recent strike, requiring fire department response. Previous electrical repairs completed included breaker replacement, burnt wire replacement, and GFCI replacement. No surge protection currently installed. Ground rod tested at 17 ohms, which is within code requirements; however, installation of a second ground rod is recommended.

Inspection performed for generator inlet installation. No main breaker present, requiring installation of interlock to prevent backfeeding. Quotation prepared for upgrade to 200A meter panel combination with main breaker.

Performed full panel replacement, removing damaged Siemens panel and installing Leviton 20C panel with AFCI protection. Modified framing by cutting a stud to accommodate proper panel fit due to spacing constraints. Secured panel, verified all circuits for proper operation, applied labeling, and completed site cleanup.

Garage outlet was found burned, likely due to a loose wire. Outlet was replaced, power was restored, and all previously non-functioning devices were powered up successfully.

Installed switched GFCI outlet on carport for water pump, replacing a previously used extension cord. Modified old roof structure, now covered by the new carport roof, to accommodate installation. Connected to a spare circuit located in the attic, with a tap made in a small junction box. Installed AFCI breaker in main panel. Installation completed and fully operational.

Inspected a non-functioning circuit controlling approximately half of the living room, including outlets and lighting. Diagnostics revealed multiple backstabbed wire connections, consistent with issues previously identified earlier in the week. The primary fault was located at an outlet with burned backstabbed wires. The decision was made to redevice the entire circuit to ensure safe and reliable operation and to support continued electrical work throughout the residence.

Inspected non-functional GFCI device reported to have been problematic since recent construction, with frequent tripping. Issue had previously been addressed but recurred. Replacement was requested without diagnostics, with an understanding that further troubleshooting may be necessary if the issue persists. Replaced GFCI device and restored functionality. Conducted a safety check and identified multiple builder-grade electrical issues. Access to the panel in the garage was not possible at the time of service.

Performed electrical work for a screened-in porch project, including preparation for additional outlets. Coordinated with framing crew on-site who were installing the roof and building a new wall intended for a TV. A homerun circuit was planned, with framing crew scheduled to run a conduit into the attic space for access. Installation to include two high-mounted outlets and one low-mounted outlet on the new wall. Also extended wiring from two existing outlets on the opposite wall to add two additional outlets on the back patio. Ran new circuit in advance and positioned wiring near intended outlet locations while waiting for wall framing to be completed. Once partial framing was in place, fished wire into the new wall and marked desired outlet locations for the framing crew to finalize. Customer enrolled in a yearly club membership and paid deposit. Additional support scheduled for Thursday morning to complete installation once framing is finished. Return visit planned to install

Performed diagnostic on non-functional dishwasher outlet, doorbells, and outdoor GFCI. Inspection of the doorbell system revealed a functional transformer but disconnected wires at the chime unit.

During safety inspection, determined that all interior GFCIs were faulty except for one. Master bedroom was not inspected per homeowner request. Identified expired smoke detectors, one missing unit, backstabbed outlets, and absence of AFCI protection throughout. Home is being prepared for sale. Completed safety check and replaced both under-sink outlets with GFCI receptacles.
