The reason for today’s visit was to assess power loss in several outlets. I was able to determine that the living room receptacle next to the TV had a constant power at the bottom and the top was switch controlled. I was also able to find that the receptacles in the back office area as well as the porch lights were not working, which was due to the fact that someone disconnected the wire in one of the receptacles in the office. What I’m assuming happened was that the motor in the fireplace fan was causing the breaker to trip so they just disconnected all the receptacles. I disconnected the power going to fireplace blower and reconnected the other wire back to the receptacle and everything is back up and running. I do however recommend installing whole home surge protection in the main panel to protect him from harmful voltage spikes that can damage the electrical equipment in the home.
