I got an emergency call for a business with multiple circuits off. When I arrive, The Handyman describes his attempt to fix the problem.
He thought it was a bad breaker, so he drove to the store to get another. He installed it & it still didn't work, so he went back to the store to return the bad breaker he had just bought. After installing the second new breaker it occurred to him that it might not be the breaker.
Now he touches the circuit wire to the breaker next to it & the lights go on. Then he realizes that more circuits are off. That's when I get the call.
While I'm there he's reaching in the panel with his bare hand and touching things. After taking a giant step backwards away from this guy I'm thinking, "Why is he still alive?".
I'm also wondering how much The Handyman is charging for all these trips to the store in the clueless repair.
