NJinspector Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 At a recent re-inspection I was surprised to see that this panel had been unchanged. Then the owner handed me a receipt from a licensed electrician stating that this panel is safe per the NEC. Am I missing something?

hausdok Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Find out who licenses electricians in your state. If they have an electricians board staffed by a group of electricians, send them a copy of the photo along with a copy of the letter from the electrician and ask them to profer an opinion. Bet they'll drop the hammer. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJinspector Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I asked the owner if the electrician even opened up the panel. He said "Yup, stared at it for quite some time and couldn't find anything wrong". I then proceeded to show him what was wrong and advised that him that he should find another electrician.
