Help Beau with a HVAC technician's skills: faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning

A HVAC technician is needed to repair faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning at the home of a family of 3.

In August 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 elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,500 are beyond us. I'm looking for a licensed HVAC technician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $155. The job should take about eight 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 a HVAC technician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Best of luck, Beau. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 28 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

      Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Adama.

          Thinking of you, Beau. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Lexington!

            Stay strong, Beau. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from San Diego.
