Glen Burnie, MD

Responded to an urgent call in Glen Burnie regarding an older ionization alarm system that was continuously chirping and failing to hold battery backup power. We executed a full smoke detector upgrade, replacing all outdated units with hardwired 120V First Alert dual-sensor smoke and carbon monoxide detectors featuring 10-year sealed lithium backup batteries. All detectors were interconnected so an activation in one room instantly triggers alarms across the entire residence.

Today, I addressed a malfunctioning receptacle issue. The customer attempted a DIY replacement but was shocked by the neutral (white) wire due to an active circuit.

The job is now complete.

Arrived at a home in Glen Burnie where the homeowner had recently had a whole-home water softener installed and the plumber had told them a dedicated circuit was needed before the softener could be properly commissioned. The unit had been sitting powered off a shared outlet, which was not adequate for the regeneration demand. Ran a dedicated 20-amp circuit from the panel to the utility room, installed a properly rated outlet at the softener location, and tested the circuit under load through a manual regeneration cycle. Softener is now commissioned and running on its own dedicated circuit the way it was supposed to be from the start.

Today’s visit was for looking at a main breaker that was making a sizzling sound. The panel itself is about 50 years old and really should be replaced. Gave the customer a quote. This is for upgrading the main electrical service to 200A. We would install an exterior disconnect, surge protector, new 40 space panel, new breakers, new cable, pull required permit, schedule inspections, and coordinate with BGE.

Today’s visit was for replacing a doorbell transformer that was no longer working. Customer bought a new Google doorbell. Work is complete.

Arrived at a home in the Glen Burnie Heights area of Glen Burnie where the homeowner had been charging an electric vehicle on a Level 1 outlet in the garage since buying the car six months ago and was frustrated that an overnight charge still was not getting them to full. The existing 120-volt circuit was not adequate for even a basic Level 2 setup and the panel needed a slot cleared before the 240-volt circuit could be added. Cleared the panel, ran a dedicated 240-volt circuit through conduit to the garage wall, installed a properly rated Level 2 charging station, and confirmed full charging output before walking the homeowner through the app. Going from Level 1 to Level 2 changes how the car fits into the daily routine.

Today’s visit was for diagnosing an issue with the pool pump. I bypassed the mechanical timer and the issue still happened making it clear that the pool pump itself is what needs to be replaced. I would also suggest replacing the mechanical timer as well. It is very rusted. The entire pool system is antiquated and should be updated as well but the pump and the timer should be replaced at minimum. Customer will let me know what he decides.

Electrical Repair Service: Investigated repeated tripping issues affecting garage and exterior GFCI outlets during normal appliance use.

Today’s visit was for a receptacle, not working in the front yard for the fountain. When arriving on site, we saw that the GFCI was completely melted, and it sparked every time we touched it and the power was not shutting off.

Today’s visit was for a discolored receptacle in the living room. Customer was using it over the weekend and it caused the rest of the circuit to lose power. During the assessment, I saw that the wires were melting and causing the back of the receptacle to melt as well, which is what caused the power loss. Once the receptacle was replaced, the rest of the circuit was restored. Work is complete.

Everything is safe and up to code, panel looks good, GFCI's in all proper locations, and all lights are working. No other electrical hazards were found in the home.

We did a load calculation while on site to verify there was sufficient power for the additional load. Gave customer multiple estimates to complete the work.

Today’s visit was for light in back bedroom, not working. During my assessment, I saw that the connections for that circuit were loose, and that was the cause of the light fixture not working. I was able to pinpoint where the loose connection was and restore power. Work is complete and everything is functioning as it should.
