Doesn't the OP question violate forum rules? OP profile indicates he is not an electrical professional, so we can't give him any advice except to find a professional. He apparently is looking for a professional, but this site is not Craigslist or similar either.

For the right amount of money I'll work in Dallas.

It would have to be a lot of money. Traffic in KC was bad enough today.

I live outside washington DC year, we are in the top ten of worst traffic year after year. I have worked in Dallas and typically get a hotel near the job.

He is not asking for a how to and he is not a diy. I see no reason not to direct him to a licensed individual.

Stop at the local supply house & one will show up. Google, craigslist, Yellow Pages.

Don't be too sure when I got into this I was the only one around who knew what to do to fix the problems. I have had people from other cities call me to help them understand it.
I had one customer who called me and said he had 3 electricians over who thought he was nuts and had never heard of a gaussmeter- most EC's don't have them. He said he called 5 or 6 others who had no idea what to do so he was happy when I said I could fix it-- took me less than an hour with travel.

my first year instructor summed it up:
"we have now established that you are whores. from here on out,
it's just about negotiating price, and position."

Thank you for all of the responses. Yes, I am reasonably familiar with detecting wiring issues; I have know idea how to fix them though. I have a gauss meter to measure EMF in the house and trouble shoot each breaker to determine the breakers causing the issue...
I would be happy to entertain a proposal from an 'expert' to help fix...there doesn't seem to be anybody locally that understands EMF.
Feel free to contact me directly at spreston@nadgus.com. Steve

I find it hard to believe there is nobody around in a metropolitan area that can figure it out, you just have not found any of them yet.
Most of these types of problems are solved just by going through and fixing code violations. Improperly routed circuit conductors will create this problem. Old knob and tube wiring (even though it may have been code compliant at the time it was installed) can create this problem.
The problem with not being able to find anyone that knows about it is that many guys (not all) that do residential work are not really that educated on theory, if they were this would be simple for them.
Maybe try calling someone that does a fair amount of instrumentation and control work, they are better troubleshooters and understand electrical theory better and not call "house ropers". They will want more pay but will find the problem and likely be more efficient at finding it.

I agree, surely there is someone in that area that knows at least a bit about EMF and how to correct wiring problems associated with them. I would have to do a bit of reading again... it was the "problem of the month" a few years ago.

A bit of reading, some common sense, an electrical background and a gauss meter is about all it takes. It is not all that complicated, SO FAR I have been able to figure it out and I am no wiz.

Here in town the one guy fixed it, by wearing a aluminum foil suit and putting old appliances on his roof to block out the EMF's that "they" were beaming in.
