Need to hire a real electrician.

Featured Replies

I need to find a real house electrician for hire.

Nong Bua Lamphu Province near Loei province.

You need to bring him from real country.

In LOS? - you may have good luck with some retired farangs.

What do you need this electrician to do?

Find out and repair the reason for a circuit breaker tripping. Maybe some hints on wiring out buildings but mainly the c/b.

I was hoping for farang but not sure asbout legalities.

Go to your local PEA office and ask them for a referral. Many ex-PEA electricians in business for themselves, and many current PEA electricians moonlighting. All the real electricians work(ed) for the PEA/MEA.

I think IMHO has the right track, at least an ex-PEA chap will have some knowledge of the right way of doing things.

My worry is what the other sparkies have been up to in trying to resolve the issue. It may actually be more cost-effective to rip out the offending circuit and rewire it.

Is the offending breaker an MCB or does it include earth-leakage protection (have a 'Test' button)?

It is just a normal breaker. They have replaced it and whatever they else did, I am not sure.

I have seen some mini circuit boards connected in the switches/plugs and wonder if there may be a problem there. I am not able to get my old ass into the attic/garret to actually check everything.

Whatever the outcome, I will be sending a bill to the house builder as this problem has been since the house was built and his people can't seem to fix it even though they wired it.

PEA sounds like a good plan. Don't know why I didn't think of it myself.

Thanks.
