No joke this post. Tracy just left here after replacing 9 breakers. He was one of the most pleasant, personable, professional repairmen I have ever met. I find it hard to believe this was the same person referred to by the OP. Maybe 2 electricians with the same name at different companies? I just wanted to give my opinion about this Tracy. lest his reputation be tarnished by mistaken identity

Tracy has been to our house several times & he has been nothing but courteous & professional. [emoji106]

To golfing eagles and to cmj1210 I am sure that Tracy is nothing more than profession on his home visits, however on the day that he came to my home, he did indeed do what I wrote about and then admit this to his employer. His big boss called and apologized to me for the incident. His employer handled it internally.

I am certain that there will be no more issues with Tracy, at least I would hope not.

Wasn't doubting your story, was just wondering if it was the same person

I would guess after this thread, he is feeling pretty small and embarrassed. Gosh, it's gotta be tough to have your name singled out on this board.

That's true, and it was probably a momentary lapse, but it's just a lesson to all of us... social media has made it impossible to hide. Think twice before you act.
