Job Locations and Reviews
Replaced the existing front porch chandelier and the LED light with customer-supplied fixtures, then supplied and installed a digital timer switch to control the porch chandelier. Verified all fixtures and the timer operate correctly after installation, and labeled the timer switch accordingly.
Investigated a non-functioning living room outlet hub that had previously been switch-controlled and found the existing wiring to be non-standard, unpermitted DIY work. Verified the circuit breaker, then traced the circuit to an exposed junction box in the attic containing loosely bundled conductors with no cover installed. Re-terminated the connections to provide continuous, unswitched power to the outlet hub and secured the junction box, restoring reliable power for the entertainment area.
Installed a customer-supplied pendant light fixture on the covered porch ceiling at an approximate 20-foot height, using a tall ladder for safe access. Mounted the fixture to the ceiling box, made the line, neutral, and ground connections, and secured the pendant on its chain, then verified proper operation. Also installed a timer-controlled light switch to operate the porch lighting and confirmed correct function.
Installed 14 dimmer switches and replaced existing receptacles with combination USB-C outlets throughout the new-construction home. Mounted and wired the customer-supplied video doorbell, and converted the laundry room duplex receptacle to a quad (four-outlet) receptacle. Evaluated the garage for additional receptacle placement and reviewed feasibility with the homeowner.
Removed three existing ceiling-mounted light fixtures in the upstairs loft area and installed customer-supplied LED fixtures in their place, plus one additional new LED fixture at the same location. Replaced two existing ceiling fixtures at the downstairs garage entrance with LED fixtures. All work was performed at standard ceiling height (under 12 ft) with power isolated at the electrical panel, and all fixtures were tested for proper operation.
Preston Chance came out today to install 2 new smoke detectors and repaired an electrical outlet. He was very thorough, explained in detail, and was very nice and patient with my mother who is a senior. If we should have any future electrical needs we would definitely want to have Preston to take care of them.
Responded to a callback for a missing exterior electrical panel dead-front cover. Inspected the outdoor service equipment, confirmed the breakers and labeled circuits were exposed with the cover removed, and reinstalled the cover plate to restore proper enclosure of the energized conductors and breakers.
Installed two hardwired smoke detectors and troubleshot the non-functioning kitchen island receptacle and the inoperative light fixture above the kitchen sink, inspecting the main electrical panel and associated circuit breakers and wiring. Panel interior was found dusty with cluttered, loosely routed conductors, and the affected circuits were evaluated for faults to restore service.
Ran new Cat6 cable to the exterior TV location and extended an existing circuit through the crawlspace to supply a new GFCI-protected exterior receptacle. Installed both the receptacle and data jack in weatherproof in-use covers, sealing the perimeter to protect against moisture intrusion.
Responded to a tripping breaker affecting the kitchen lighting circuit, with a repeat trip after reset and a recurring issue from the prior week. Inspected the exterior service entrance, meter enclosure, conduit, and cabling, and evaluated the kitchen lighting circuit for the cause of the overcurrent condition, with no visible damage or anomalies observed.
Performed the annual 32-point electrical system evaluation, including service panel maintenance with connection inspection and torquing, and GFCI and AFCI protection device testing for proper operation. Completed smoke and CO detector maintenance with battery replacement and testing, and inspected the exterior service equipment, meter base, and conduit, finding no visible damage, corrosion, or deficiencies. Checked the breaker serving the freezer circuit at the customer's request; appliance diagnosis was outside the scope of this visit.
Curtis was so helpful. He has a wealth of experience and quickly knew that tha age of my wiring and the corrosion he observed was the probable cause of my problem. He was very reassuring that I am in pretty good shape for now.
