Help Gregory with an electrician's skills: faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning
An electrician is needed to repair faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning at the home of a family of 4.
🇨🇦 Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada924 views
In April 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 newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $2,500 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 $280.
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 for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Gregory. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Halifax.
Best of luck, Gregory. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hang in there, Gregory. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Madina!

So sorry you're going through this, Gregory. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Ikeja

wishing you the best, Gregory. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Akron.
