Licensed Electrician

Hi all. I'm finishing up my stand and was thinking about the electric outlet locations and looking at how the wiring within the house is done. In order to shut off the lights in the mechanical room behind the tank, two 15A circuit breakers need to be shut off. I'm not an electrician per say, but I know more than just the basics. Wiring is not very complex. Typically you shouldn't need to shut off two circuit breakers simultaneously in order to shut off power to an area. There are a pair of stickers within the outlet box from people signing off on the basement electrical installation and I don't think anything was modified with the electrical work since then so I don't know what has happened. I could try following the wiring myself, but the ceiling and walls are finished in all areas except the mechanical room and I know my wife would feel better knowing that things were checked over.

Does anyone know of an electrician that could check and try to find out what is wired incorrectly, could help with wiring a few new outlets, and would make sure that is a certified installation so we would be covered incase any problems would show up in the future? Any help would be appreciated.

Brian, I've used Graf electric there in LaCrescent and they always treated me right.

I can talk to my brother-in-law (he works for Town and Country Electric in LaX) and could probably help you out (he'd charge you of course though). It's just an option (he is a fully certified 10+ year experience and he graduated from an electrical school in South Dakota).

He's the one that I had wire up my fish room and does all my electrical work in my house lol.

My wife knows someone who's husband is an electrician in WI. I'm not sure if he is still certified in MN anymore, but he is going to take a look at it on Friday. Depending on what he says will determine on what I do next. I'll get back to you Jason if he isn't certified in MN anymore and I need some help.

I forgot you are in MN now... I don't know if he's certified in MN or not as well.. I'd have to ask. I'll ask him if your other guy falls through.
