But the bottom If he's out on his own, he doesn't think he's a kid, so I don't think he deserves slack. If he works for anyone else, you should tell the boss, who will chew him out better than you can, and who needs to know before his employee kills someone. Of course he should redo the work at no charge, and you should watch him do it. I don't know how much needs to be redone except there should be a new breaker. Old and new are not the same thing, the wise ass. (I would use old if I had one, for myself only, and I wouldn't charge myself the new price.) line is I'm not sure he or his work can be trusted completely. The thing is whether I decide to call him back or not -- I think there is some stuff that I'd like to know beforehand:- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - (1)A new 20 amp breaker costs ONLY $3.97, regardless of the Brand... (2) It is common Practice to use an old breaker If the electrician Has one available in thier Truck (3) Granted , Breakers sometimes Do get weak, and if this one is giving You problems, then Yes the Electrician Should replace it with a new one , this is not going to make or break the bank (4) To convert the power source to 240 volt is as simple as pulling the white wire off the neutral bar and installing a new 2 pole 20 amp breaker in the panel, then putting both the black and white wires on to the new breaker (5) Subsequently, you will need a new 240 volt receptacle and plug to the compressor (6) 220 volts will give quite a shock if handled inappropriately, Turn the breaker OFF , Do Not work on it live!!! (7) Finally, WIRING IS NOT A HOBBY, HIRE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN |
