Colwell Electric updated their info in the about section.
Remember about a year ago we introduced you to TING? It’s the little device you plug into one receptacle in your home that monitors for arching that can cause a fire.
We received a call from TING monitoring last week telling us we needed to go into a home and find some issues that the device was picking up. The initial information showed an issue with the A/C circuit and that they were seeing a neutral issue that looked like it was coming from utility.
The findings from our technician are as follows:
- One A/C unit had a loose connection in the pull out disconnect that was arching
- The other A/C had a nicked wire that was touching a sheet metal closure
- GFCI receptacle ground was touching phase conductor
- Confirmed there was a bad neutral in the underground feeding the residence
Because of the TING device, the technician was able to identify and correct these hazards before they caused a fire. Protect your home and family with a TING device today.
