Existing feed, riser, and roof boot to be utilized.

Inspected request for 50A circuit installation for oven. Existing setup: 3-wire on 60A breaker; 4-wire required. Existing box is single gang. Provided 10/3 cable is not suitable for installation. Panel contains non-UL breakers and is outdated.

Inspected existing pole for addition of RV plug. Pole found to be in poor condition and requires replacement. Quoted scope of work to include replacing pole, adding RV plug, and installing convenience receptacles on the pole.

Inspection performed on trailer pole to determine requirements for restoring power. Pole found in poor condition with electrical components deteriorated. Safe restoration of power not possible without replacement. Quoted replacement of pole with new 200A service pole and necessary piping to rework existing plumbing pipe connections. Awaiting customer decision.

Inspection performed on damaged overhead service caused by fallen tree. Customer requested conversion to underground service with intent to dig trench and lay conduit if not completed by utility provider. Customer planned to supply 200A meter can. Work to be performed in compliance with code requirements.

Diagnostic performed on water heater electrical issue. Broken elements and severely corroded anode rod identified. Customer-supplied elements replaced, operation verified, and work completed. New anode rod installed from truck stock.

Service inspection conducted after utility inspector declined reconnection. Riser previously replaced with poor workmanship. Wiring mismatched, components improperly mounted, and meter can outdated. Replacement recommended.

Inspection performed on nonfunctional light fixtures. Track lighting was identified, with several bulbs not operating. Customer-supplied bulbs were installed, restoring full function. No further issues observed. Recommended diagnostic testing of fixtures to verify integrity of all connections.

Dispatched to investigate a water heater issue where the ground conductors remained energized despite the breaker being off. Performed a safety inspection and proceeded with Level III diagnostics. Identified that the water heater ground was improperly connected and tied into the dryer ground, causing voltage feedback to the water heater. Corrected the grounding configuration and resolved the issue.

Diagnosed non-functional projector outlet. Testing revealed absence of a neutral conductor. MC cable had been installed into a residential box without a proper connector. Traced wiring to a lighting switch leg junction box for hallway lights near attic access. Identified poor connections and improper installation. Removed wiring from the switch leg box, installed a push penny cover, and rerouted the circuit to a proper home run junction box. Connections were re-established and tested. Outlet confirmed to be operating correctly.

Inspected electrical panel following report of no power to A/C unit. Panel was open upon arrival. Testing revealed only 120V present at the breaker instead of 240V. Inspection showed a broken bus finger and significant pitting on the breaker. Replaced the damaged breaker, restoring full power to the unit. System confirmed operational.
