Texas Electrician Questions
Hi all.
My friend hired a certified Master Electrician to redo her panel and replace 2 GFI (not gonna blast him until I learn more about the situation).
The GFI are isolated to the kitchen island with two on either side. The GFI stopped working about a month in and I went to identify any issues (Ik basic electrical work). I noticed first on both the GFI (there are 3 outlets total powered by the breaker. Nothing else on it) The line and load wires are attached to the line screws. All 4 of them attached to the line. Idk enough to know why but I was taught that's wrong?
On top of when they came out to fix it. They said the wiring of the GFI wasn't the cause. It was a jumper wire in the main panel that melted? Due to the master electrician not tightening it (directly from the hopefully not apprentice that came back out)
They genuinely told her she was lucky her house didn't catch on fire.
Is the GFI okay like that? I'm going to voltmeter it and make sure the proper amount is coming through but the wiring of it stresses me on top of how there work caused a wire to melt?
Ik things happen but the whole reason I stopped pursuing electrical work was because of the stuff that can go wrong. Should we report him? Or just not look a gift horse in the mouth. Any advice?
