Miswired, call your electrician back.

Or maybe fire that one and call a different one back.

Wiring a hot leg to neutral is a pretty big screw up.

 

[Adnillien]

Your North and West terminals are cross wired.

Thanks all!!! Definitely not bringing him back. Thank you everyone. Thank you everyone for the time spent on my issue.

Miswired... And dangerous. For south to east to be 250, those two are the X and Y hot legs.Safety ground (the south pin) is hot. DON'T TOUCH THE BOX. TURN OFF THE BREAKER. Call the electrician make him fix it then never use him again.

Folks on here totally rock. It’s a shame that a licensed electrician can screw something like this up.

Thank you everyone. I love the support on this forum.

Yeah, that’s awful and extremely dangerous. You should confirm he was licensed, and possibly report him. That could have eventually killed someone.

Electricians, simply, are not allowed to screw up, because if they do, people can die.

Tell that to doctors!

Or auto mechanics (brakes), plumbers (gas lines), HVAC techs (furnaces), etc.

. . . HVAC techs (furnaces) . . . .

I've almost been killed twice by general contractors and inspectors not adequately overseeing the work of HVAC contractors.

The first time was in 1984 when we built a house in the mountains of western Massachusetts and installed a propane furnace. It was shipped from the factory with a burner head for natural gas. The installer failed to heed the instructions to switch the burner head to one with the proper orifice for propane, and the house filled with carbon monoxide. I wound up in the emergency room. Fortunately, the rest of the family had not yet joined me from my prior work location in another state.

In 2017 we built a new house with a whole-house generator. The main A/C system was augmented with an Ultra-Aire unit to draw fresh air from outside to mix with the inside air. Days after moving in we were hit by Hurricane Irma, and the generator came online. We had eight friends and five animals hunkered down with us to ride out the storm. About 1:00 a.m. I got a call from the alarm monitoring company telling us to get out the house immediately and that the fire department was on the way. None of us had heard the in-house CO detectors going off until the phone call awakened me. When the firemen went upstairs with their CO meters, the needles flew off the scale. We weren't even allowed back inside to get better dressed to find other lodging. It turned out the HVAC installers placed the intake vent for the Ultra-Aire system on the roof right above the generator, and generator exhaust was being pumped into the house.

In both cases these were brand new houses with fresh paint, new carpet, and other new material smells that masked whatever odors might have accompanied the odorless carbon monoxide.

I now have all safety-related trade work followed up with an independent inspection.

Tell that to doctors!

I do. And I pick my doctors *extremely* carefully, getting second opinions if needed.

Or auto mechanics (brakes), plumbers (gas lines), HVAC techs (furnaces), etc.

I choose these carefully as well. So should you. Don’t be a statistic, as best you can avoid it.

If I’m going to die because of idiocy, it’s going to be become I left the stove on by accident. But at least it’ll be my fault.
