Heat Pump: Electrician Sent 240 volts to my Fiver

Had a residential electrician wire a 30 amp outlet at home for my RVs. Luckily I had a surge protector hard wired in that protected most stuff. Unfortunately it was his first RV 30 amp and he wired it for 240 amps instead of 120. It blew my convection micowave and the electric side of the fridge. Micro is toast but I think the fridge can be repaired.

Question: Now my heat pump only blows warm air from the bottom of the unit in the kitchen ceiling. Previously it blew warm air from the floor ducts same as the furnace. Might this be due to the electrical issues or is there something else going on that I might can fix? Thanks.

    Hope your residential electrician is licensed and has insurance... All of this is going to add up pretty substantial before you find all of things that may be blown... Your converter is always on so it is most likely toast as well...
