Electrician Needed - North Peoria

Recommended Posts

I think the old Cutler Hammer breakers were the worse. Take the dead front off and breakers would littearly fall out. The John F Long Homes on the westside had 100AMP panels in them and sold for low 30's back in the mid 70's.

I work for aps and live close to you but unfortunately I'm in Yuma working right now. I would come by gladly if I was in town. You can call aps and have a troubleman come by and check the utility side of things. Just remember if your main needs changed out you will need a city clearance unfortunately. Hope you get it figured out

And yes it could be a faulted cable or neutral on the secondary side of the utility transformer on the cables feeding your house.

Haven't seen a Zinsco in about 20 years, or an FPE.

They still make them. I usually sell a few a year for 40.00 bucks or so for a single pole.

A family member of mine is a electrician, let me know if you want him to swing, he installed a a new breaker box on mine, my house is from the 70s and sparks we jumping out of it. Also added a bunch of outlets in my garage while waiting for aps to come back.

Thanks for all the help folks. I really appreciate all the advice and those of you who have reached out to help. Things are looking better and by tomorrow we should be up and running full force. Thanks again everyone!

the good ol days we could cut the meter tag, change the main breaker, set the meter back, open glove box and grab a new tag that magically appeared and install it.

What you talking about the good old days? Still do, just don't get caught. In the last 6 months we have upgraded 7 FPE panels.
