Fried A/C, 2 TV's and micro wave-my fault or electricians.

I supervise several building departments. You did everything right by obtaining a permit and hiring a licensed professional. The fault lies with the electrician, its no different than a doctor taking out the wrong kidney or a plumber hooking up hot water to your toilet. You did not receive the professional service you paid for and that's why they are licensed and INSURED to cover mistakes. He should make good on your claim or settle it in court.
