OT: Need An Electrician

[jibsey]

Farmington Valley, Bristol, or Torrington area. I need someone for a small job of putting in a couple of dedicated 20 amp plugs in a bathroom. Looking for someone who is good and hopefully reasonable. Willing to pay cash. Appreciate any recommendations.

People were shocked when they found out I was a bad electrician.

Where could that go wrong? I’m not running new wire from the breaker box, are you insane?

 

[uconn_jack]

I was only half kidding, but yes, pulling new wire if you cant go through a basement or attic sucks. Adding a breaker and outlet is easy.

If you’re not 100% confident working in a live panel, do not work in a live panel.

Wethersfield electric LLC. The owner Alex is a former student of mine at BCHS before Clingan’s time. He and wife are some of my favorite all-time former students.

Super nice guy, super knowledgeable and thorough. He did a bunch of panel work to get my old house up to code before selling, in new house he wired my basement, put switches/lights in a lot of ceilings. He also brought my generator back to life and adjusted the valves on my riding mower … he’s a true renaissance man when it comes to mechanical & electrical.

He’s done work for about 10 friends, all thrilled. Online all 5 star reviews so it carries over.

Call Wethersfield Electric (Alex) at 8608775463 … if you do, tell him Ben sent you. Also, drop some feedback here for others.

Good luck!

I mean, electricians do it every single day. And there's not any "training" that allows them to do it. Don't touch the live parts of the incoming power. And there's no reason you need to even come close. Nevermind that if you do touch it, you'll be fine. That also happens every single day in residential electrical work.

Or, even better, wear standard stretchable gloves. "Danger" eliminated.

Or they were left in the dark, pretty sure you are a bad electrician.

I’ve never met an electrician that isn’t confident working in a live panel.

So much wrong here it hurts...

There absolutely is "training" that allows electricians to do it comfortably and safely. Yes it happens every single day but it's not the recommendation you give to clearly untrained people on a message board.
