Electrician ran away just before the end, find a company to complete the work

Hello everyone,

we caught an electrician who later turned out to be a beginner. After 6 months the installation was by far not finished, we gave him a deadline of two months. He refused it, terminated without notice, and cut off contact. The case is with the lawyer. Although he sees us as being right, that doesn’t help us in the short term.

Because we cannot wait for years of legal dispute and need to move in, a friendly, experienced electrician is helping us, who however doesn’t have a master craftsman certificate. He organized a known master who finished the meter cabinet and would register the meter. However, he only issues the invoice and acceptance up to the meter because he does not want to assume liability for work done by others. He does not connect the supply lines to the floors.

Now we come to the problem. The insurance wants an “acceptance.” We simply no longer have that for the entire system. We asked another electrical company, but they also did not want to complete/accept the installation.

Now we are facing the absurd situation where we have a flawless, almost finished system that nobody wants to accept, which is why we cannot move in.

It is not even about saving money. We understand that the next company should test and check everything and that costs money. We have heard of E-checks. It must somehow be possible to finish the electrical work and have someone sign off under it that the electrical system in the house is flawless. We don’t want anything illegal. Everything must be done properly and 100% correctly. Unfortunately, we are now stuck in this strange situation that we did not cause.

We would be grateful for tips

Which insurance "wants" that? I have not yet experienced live in our area that anyone wanted to see anything there. The security aspect is of course one thing, but if your acute problem is the insurance, then I would most likely switch it.

In which postal code area are you? I can't give advice, but I know a company that could handle something like that.

When the meter is installed, the [E— system] is automatically accepted and registered.
End of story.
Only the installer who is authorized/registered with the supplier or has/applies for a guest authorization can register.
No problem, I’ve done that before too.

Edith still has something. Instead of supplier, it must say: network operator. Because the supplier does not necessarily have to be the network operator.:cool:

70000 (district Stuttgart/Esslingen) (Netze BW). That would be great.

When the meter is installed, the electrical system is automatically accepted and registered. Period, end of story. Only the installer who is approved/registered with the supplier or has/has applied for a guest approval can register it. Not a problem either, I've done it before.

The two masters who were there and the insurance saw it differently. They would write a liability waiver for the predecessor work. That does not count as a proper acceptance...
