We will install a new 100 amp circuit for customer supplied hardwired 80 amp charger. We will run line underground out to a post right in front of the driveway.
Reason for today’s visit is to provide pricing and options for installing power for a customers car charger. My first solution is to install a weather existent 50 amp plug on the side of the home roughly 20 foot from the panel in which we will pipe out of the unfinished basement and down the wall. Customer would like us to run a circuit able to handle 100 A so that if he upgrades to the larger 80 amp charger it will already be there. In order to do this we will have to set a weather resistant junction box underneath of the new charger and step the wire down to be able to install The wire on the 50 amp receptacle. The second solution is to run a new 100 amp circuit from the main panel out to a post next to the driveway. The run is roughly 63 feet underground. We will then install a 4 x 4 pressure treated post and install customer supplied charger.
I removed 200 amp seu cable due to it being crack and at that point it allows water to flow through the sheathing into the electrical panel I replaced it with a new 200 amp SEU cable I ran a new cold water ground from the main electrical panel to outside then drilled back into the home under the steps and connected my #4 ground wire to the mater water pipe within 5 feet of the entrance of the water line I bonded the home at the water heater I installed 2 8 foot ground rods outside of home. They are 6 feet apart then i ran a #4 ground wire from one to the other then into the electrical panel in a continuous loop I separated all the grounds and double tapped neutrals according to the national electrical code All neutrals are under their own screw terminals I installed a add a lug for the oven circuits neutral I installed a ultra whole home surge protector and installed a 2 pole 50 amp qo square d electrical breaker to power the surge protector. This surge protector was installed
We will replace all three bathroom receptacles as well as the two exterior receptacles and install weather resistant devices with proper weather resistant covers. We will install a switch for the laundry area light. Replace second-floor bathroom light switch. Replace shower light with LED replacement. We will replace washer receptacle with a GFCI We will replace the three existing smoke detectors with new hard wired units with 10 year sealed lithium batteries. We return today and completed quote of work. We replaced all receptacles on the house GFCI circuit which included three bathroom receptacles, three exterior receptacles. We replace the three standard smoke detectors as well as replaced the second-floor hallway bathroom switch and light over the tub with an LED insert. We replaced the floor receptacle in the living room and install a proper floor receptacle cover. We also added a switch for the laundry room light.
I re deviced the upstairs lighting circuit. I installed new switches and new tamper resistant receptacles. I spliced all the appropriate wires together then pig tailed off the splice, then hooked the wire around the screw on the device, clamped it, then tightened the screw to ensure the best and safest possible connection throughout the circuit I also removed and replaced a bathroom receptacle that was broken in the hallway upstairs bathroom We will return to install customer supplied lights when customer orders them. #review Returning 2-1-2023 I removed and replaced light fixtures with customer supplied lights I did this in the hallway upstairs with three light fixtures In the hallway bathroom where i removed the incorrect box in the wall and installed a 8b box and installed a new light fixture I removed and replaced a light over the toilet in master bathroom And i removed the incorrect box overtop the sink in master bathroom and installed a customer supplied light I also remo
Replaced outlets in all 4 bathrooms with GFCI’s. Replaced customer supplied pull chain in ceiling fan in master bedroom and repaired power loss to light and exhaust fan in the powder room. All bathroom outlets and powder room lights are now operational.
Customers powder room on main level receptacle as well as both outdoor outlets are not working. Found a gfci in basement that was working but not sending power to rest of circuit and needed to be replaced. Also the outdoor outlets are not weather resistant and have bad gaskets around them letting water get inside and should also be replaced. Both outside outlets were replaced with weather resistant gfcis and new heavy duty in use cover to be code compliant. Main gfci to left of panel was replaced with a new gfci. The powder room receptacle was just replaced by homeowner and is black in color so it was re installed after re wiring of the device and basement bath was replaced with new gfci. Now anytime one of the gfcis trip at any location only that device will turn off allowing the rest of the circuit to continue being used. Verified proper operation of all completed work with customer.
Customer called about inspection corrections The home gfci in the basement under the main electrical panel was damaged. But the outside receptacles that were on the load side were rusted and beyond repair. So I went through that circuit which was two outlets outside on the 1st floor, 1 under the electrical panel and all of the bathrooms throughout the home and in each box I spliced all the hots together and the neutrals together and the grounds together then pigtailed off the splice and installed a tamper resistant GFCI in each location and line sided it through. This makes the locations gfci protected and will send power throughout the circuit only tripping the gfci that’s effected with a fault. The outside devices are tamper resistant weather resistant GFCIs with in use bubble covers over them and siliconed for the best protection against weather and water damage I also went into the main electrical panel and installed a ground bar allowing room to free up all the double tapped n
