Now All We Need's a Generator...

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
Another full day, but good to have all the wiring completed for the generator’s arrival! The generator disconnect, auxiliary circuits in the garage, and basement sub-panel went in without a hitch, but we weren’t so lucky everywhere else…

So where were the hitches that had us working late into the evening? Firstly, our home runs to all of the house circuits were stripped just barely outside of the new panel location, which required heat shrinking for each wire. This required a materials run and some tedious wire-by-wire TLC. Secondly, the electric range had a bad termination in the receptacle box which tripped the breaker as we were cycling up. Thankfully, given it is on a dedicated circuit, troubleshooting was fairly quick and painless.

This project with Tom has been a blast, and reminds us of the value of having a company culture that attracts customers like him! If you’d like to be our next happy customer and/or collaborator, please check the links below.
