If the neutral is un-insulated for the sub-panel feeder this could cause a ground loop. GEC should not be spliced, Are the bonding screw removed from the neutrral bus bar?

I always use this comment I would never accept libility for a FP FYI - Although we attempt to determine if they are dirty or not, most flues are not fully visible and are therefore not inspected during a visual home inspection .It is impossible for a visual home inspection to determine with any degree of certainty whether a flue is free of defects. The NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association) recommends that all chimneys be inspected before buying or selling a home. In our opinion this is a prudent recommendation. We recommend having a Certified Chimney Specialist conduct a Level II inspection of the chimney and flue, etc. prior to closing of escrow. A Level II inspection is very comprehensive and can better determine the condition of the flue than can a limited generalist inspection such as ours, OR a Level I basic chimney inspection. See the following web site addresses for further information on chimneys, flue inspections, CSIA chimney specialists, or to locate a certified chimney specialist in your area, etc. http://www.csia.org/Tutorials/tabid/172/Default.aspx http://www.csia.org/PressRoom/PressRele ... fault.aspx
