HVAC technician needed urgently: Divya's home isn't safe
Divya has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed HVAC technician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In May 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 $95 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 $25.
The job should take about four 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Divya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Siliguri!
sending good thoughts, Divya. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from La Plata
