I recently called this electrician to replace two outlets and hang a new kitchen light in my home. The electrician went down the basement into my circuit breaker box and proceeded to check each switch by flipping them back and forth while I stood at the top of the stairs and heard him. After two hours he completed the job.
The same day, about an hour later, I turned my thermostat on because it was getting chilly in the house. After about an hour or less I noticed it was getting colder in the house and I thought we were out of oil. So I went down the basement to check on the oil meter and I had a half a tank left.
At this point, I was confused so I called my oil company and a service guy came out the next day. He checked the oil meter and then asked where the circuit breaker box was located. He then noticed that the oil switch was turned OFF not on. So, obviously the electrician did not turn the oil switch button back on.
I called the electrician company and told them about the issue and they said they would double check with the electrician who did the service and relay the message to the owner. I heard nothing for a couple weeks and then just received a bill today. This is the conclusion that they came to: THE ELECTRICIAN DOESN'T REMEMBER TURNING OFF MY OIL SWITCH.
So, I turned off my own heat and hot water for 24 hours?
