What should our clients expect during a 200 amp main panel upgrade, change, replace, repair?

Recently, a client, Kenya Jones, had her pg&e power destroyed by a neighbors redwood tree, which fell over in the heavy rain.   We had done some work for her in the past, in lighting, led landscaping.  Now her entire power system, panel, conduit, and the pg&e line was fried and ripped off her house by the falling tree.  The panel had caught fire, and the pg&e t man crew removed the drop to the other side of the street, on way up high to the cross bar.  She called us in the morning.  By that evening, I had gone out to her house, seen the devastation,  taken a short video, gotten the city of Oakland to issue a permit (just try to do that on your own!), gotten pg&e to issue a rep ( just try to do that on your own!), gotten the rep to issue a COD letter (just try to do that on your own!), and gotten the city to issue an inspection for the next morning!  The inspector came out the very next morning after Kenya called us, and passed the job although I had not finished the conduit run yet! 

     The city admin person knew us, the pg&e rep knew us, and the city inspector knew us.    Kenya’s neighbor, the one who was responsible for the falling tree, denied responsibility for it, and her power was also cut off.  She hired a cut rate electrician, and her power has still not been restored weeks later.  (Staying in a hotel room).    Due to her mistreatment of my client, I declined to work for her.   Sometimes people try to hire us, who are not as nice as Kenya!

  So, do you want a guy to do your panel, who has a few panel changes under his belt, or do you want a guy, with two thousand five hundred panel changes?  I know every piece of material, every thing the inspectors want us to do, everything pg&e wants us to do, two thousand times over!  I know what not to do.   I’ve learned from mistakes I’ve made, the wrong tools, the wrong ladder, the wrong materials, cheap materials versus bullet proof.  Think back in your own work, and remember how you were, when you only had a few jobs under your belt, and how you are now, with thousands of jobs you have completed.

Experience

Since 1970, I’ve spent 60,000 hours on the job, which has included many residential and commercial sites. I’ve installed 2,000 PG&E main service entrances, and thousands of sub panels, and countless furnace and AC circuits. I also have an A.S. degree, in science and electricity. I understand current, voltage, wattage at a molecular level. My father had  me working on jobs when I was thirteen years old.

We are familiar with the NEC code re: furnace, and AC

We run dedicated circuits, install switched lights, GFIs, and the proper disconnection means, no matter what the tonnage or size of your equipment. Roof outlets included.
