NewB w/Electrical problem
Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2008 4:46 pm
Hey Y'all
In Aug. '06 my wife and I bought a '93 Peach State Homes double-wide on Lake Sinclair in Eatonton, Georgia. Several weeks ago we noticed that electrical outlets in two rooms weren't "outletting". The ceiling fan doesn't fan and the outside lights don't light outside either. These outlets are all along one wall, and the outside lights are on the outside of that same wall. I checked all the breakers with my meter, and they're all okay. So I called an electrician.
And then I called him again. And then about six more times. So I called a different electrician and finally got him to go out and take a look. He said it was not a simple problem. He checked the outlets and says he thinks the problem might be in a junction box under the home that joins the two sides together or something like that?
I don't know jack about mobile homes or any homes for that matter. You guys seem to know everything about everything. I searched but couldn't find too much other than advice to call a professional.
Am I doomed?
Thanks for your help.
