In 1987 I dropped out of college at the University of
Georgia. Soon thereafter I began working as a commercial electrician. We
remodeled government funded housing. I began to learn methods of wiring homes.
Later on I was instructed that mulch-dwellings were different from single
dwellings.It has escapes my train of thought from time to time, it is true,
commercial electricians use different wiring methods than residential
electricians. I went to hang a ceiling fan in a police officer's apartment
outside of Atlanta. This condominium was only 2 years old. I was shocked to find
a switch in the kitchen that didn't operate anything. I had a problem
understanding how the builder ever passed inspection. A electrical contractor
friend of mine told me the answer. It appears that when the inspection was
performed there was no power active in the house.
I guess being a commercial electrician,Dawsonville GA
provides for stiffer requirements to have energized switchgear,which is
necessary for larger occupancy venues. I have now been in the electrical services industry for over 22 years. The progression of my electrical
troubleshooting skills have increased tremendously in the past few years.
Exposure to Security systems,lighting retro fit engineering, hospital grade
wiring, and even exposure to control wiring in industrial settings have given
me unlimited exposure to methods of electrical troubleshooting that few can
rival.
Saturday morning a customer called us to troubleshoot a
electrical problem caused by a heating and air contractor. These guys had
disconnected a deep well water pump and two ground fault circuit interrupted
receptacles. The technicians reconnected the receptacle's to a 240 volt
circuit. This mistake could have resulted in electrocution. Luckily, the only
casualty was a new coffee pot. The technicians also left live wires under the
crawl space of the home. In a few short hours I replaced the work with
corrective measures that were acceptable. In any event, never let plumbers do
electrical service work in your home or business. Being firm with contractors
not only makes sense, it could save your life.
