Arrived on site and spoke with the customer, who requested an Ethernet cable installation. While assessing the wiring route, I noticed a newly installed Square D panel. Upon inspection, I found several code violations. The neutral wire coming from the meter base is severely undersized. Additionally, there are 2-inch PVC MA connectors with multiple conductors running through them, which is no longer up to code — individual knockouts must be used instead. The bottom PVC connector also lacks proper grounding for the panel. There are multiple additional code violations throughout the home that need to be addressed. I provided the customer with solutions and estimates to upgrade and correct all code issues. The customer decided to move forward only with the Ethernet installation for now and will take some time to review the other options. I will return on Friday, October 17th, to complete the Ethernet installation. The customer is fully satisfied with today’s visit. Ran dedicated Etherne
Met inspector onsite and failed due to no having the solar stickers so will return to install stickers to pass the inspection. 10/15 returned and installed the required solar sticker on panel to send of to inspector.
Arrived on site, and the customer stated that the outlet on the kitchen island was not working, while all other outlets in the kitchen had power. Performed a minor troubleshoot to diagnose the issue and found that the island outlet had a loose connection on the hot screw, which was causing slight arcing. Replaced the outlet with a new white duplex receptacle and wrapped it with electrical tape due to the metal box enclosure. During troubleshooting, I also noted that the electrical panel is a Cutler-Hammer type with breakers showing signs of wear and tear, and it is missing a surge protector. The GFCIs appear to be original to the home. I provided recommendations to replace the aging breakers, install a whole-home surge protector, and upgrade the existing GFCIs. The customer was 100% happy and satisfied with today’s visit and understands that all work is covered under a five-year warranty.
Inspector went onsite and passed the final inspection. Emailed passed report.

Arrived on job site tenant mentioned that the GFCI would trip randomly by cell but nothing plugged in and has been doing that for the last two weeks about three times a week. Let the homeowner know that usually when a GFCI does that it’s when the GFCI is at the end of its life. Ended up also giving her a solution to do a troubleshoot to look at the entire circuit or to replace the GFCI alone. The customer only wanted to replace a GFCI as of right now I did let her know that if the GFCI trips again and is having the same problem that when we come back out, we would need to have to charge a troubleshoot to see the cause of the problem. Also left other solutions on adding AI breakers in the panel and also a surge protection. Customer wants some time to think about the quote and it’s good for 30 days. Customer is 100% happy and satisfied with today’s visit.

Customer had a Tesla car that was plugged into 120 V 20 amp garage circuit. Explain to customer it is not good to charge a entire Tesla car with 120 V plug and that it needs to be a dedicated circuit and at least 50 A to get the full performance and for it to be correct. Customer just wanted me to replace the one plug and explain to customer that it will keep overheating and causing issues from tripping GFCI and breakers. Explain to customer we are not going to warranty the plug due to knowing that they are using it to charge car and customer understands. Decline pricing for dedicated circuits and hardwired chargers for today. If we have to come back out for same issue we are automatically going to run a dedicated circuit and give price and options. Everything is working at this time.
