I do Forensic Electrical Inspection for various entity's and was recently called to a home having unbalanced voltage issues.
Prior to my arrival the main breaker panel to the home had been replaced by a supposed electrician.
One of the problems in Pa we don't have license for electricians except class A city's
One look at box initially was nicely done . But that's where the real problem comes in.
The individual failed to install a Safety number #6 copper wire ground to water pipe and no ground wire . He also failed to put the green grounding screw which ties the neutral buss bar to the panel so it is grounded.
The safety ground missing was part of reason lights would go dim and bright due to the aging old electrical grid in the neighborhood and its also there in case of lightning to draw it away from service.
These people paid for a professional instead they got a hack. its absolutely criminal what this individual did but again he will get away with it, He was called back told to fix and call a certified 3rd party inspector recognized by Pa.
