2025 Electrical rehab consultation notes

There are ongoing known electrical issues that leaseholders would like to see taken care of during the Woodbine/RC transition period.

Let's collect issues here, and move forward.

Crisis issues

• Numerous outlets without grounds, reversed polarity, loose contacts, etc
• Outlet falling off wall behind fridges.

Easy practical upgrades

Upgrades that seem easy or affordable, to be possibly bundled into crisis repair. Ease and cost will be partly guesses until such time as we get a quote and fuller plan.

• Mount 3-switch covered box with lighted switches for frig control.
  
• New outlet for the lowboy on a dedicated circuit. (may actually be difficult, probably not a crisis though extension cord not ideal like with the other fridges.)
• Gym: one outlet in the corner near the stereo will eliminate one extension cord. The A/C unit can be swapped to a 3' appliance cord. There is also a lamp in the deepest corner of the gym that is on an extension cord. Adding an outlet seems like a lot, not sure what the best solution is apart from properly securing the extension cord it is on to the wall. 

Difficult practical upgrades

Upgrades that seem harder or more expensive, to be possibly bundled into crisis repair. Ease and cost will be partly guesses until such time as we get a quote and fuller plan.

• Replace glass fuse sub-panel.
  

Questions

• Are we at the level where we could benefit from a load balancer?
• Is our fridge extension cord setup reasonable?
• Is the big electrical work recently done complete and done well? Any faults, code violations, or bad work?
• Better understanding of how gym fan is wired. (220v? are there 110 lines branched off of it?)
• Possible to have basement lights activated by panel at top of stairs be "dual control" such that if someone turns them off upstairs while people are still in basement, can be turned on in basement?
