electric contractor avice???
had a electrical fire..was told i had three type of wires in my house.not up to code..was told that everything had to be change...not all would be cover by my insurance,will be bill for thr rest.this co. was sent by my insurance co. i thought i had the right to pick my own company?...this electric company start the job, and it been a nightmare..they change everything on the outside of the house (where there was no fire)when i ? it was told it was not code..they change the fuse box to a breaker box...started to run the wires up to the attic,ran the wires to where the fire started & ended, went about a foot past and tap in to the wires...when ? they said it could be grandfather in... i said that it was said that this wire that they tap into was balb and knob...( at the start of this mess,was told this had to go!!) they said sorry but they are done with this job today ..finished and left.. job done! after lots of phone call !! the electrical co. returns..walk in with a smile on his face and says " so how many times did the breaker trip" its seem to me that they knew this would happen...say he here to replace the rest of wires, (all of the wires run in attic) he said he might have to run some wires under the house, because some of my wires he has no way of getting to them..(over the pass 5 yrs, as i guted a room i replace all wires up the wall and into the attic,with 12gage wire..all room are done up the wall except the kitchen.bath & hallway)..i come home and he change all of the outlet & switchs..used my wire that went up the wall...by the way he is useing 14 gage wire,and the new box only has 15 amp. breaker...14 gage wire to 12 gaga wire is this good?...my attic look like a minn golf park. talk to the adjuster,owner of electrical co, all they say is let them finish, they don't have to talk to me..do i have any recourse to put a end to this nosence or am i just a crybaby?..thank you
