Electrician needed urgently: Komal's home isn't safe

An electrician is needed to repair faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning at the home of a family of 4.

In July an inspector told me that my home has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,600 are beyond us. I'm looking for a licensed electrician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $165. The job should take about three hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request. If you're an electrician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

            Wishing you peace, Komal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Rockford so I could bring a meal

              Good luck, Komal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Mumbai.
