Chris Bernhardt Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Should we be writing these up for more than just the cover? The majority that I see have no cover because it was either installed or monkeyed with by a handyman, homeowner or his buddy. We can't touch them without a license in my State so its hard tell if the workmanship is satisfactory little alone if its to code. Would you write them up for further eval by an electrician also?

hausdok Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I wouldn't recommend further evaluation. I'd recommend an electrician fix 'em, period. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[?] When they're open, I would think it's easier to evaluate what's inside, without touching them. Okay, so they're not all this easy: http://topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3866 I'm really curious about not touching a J-box w/out a license. Can you pull covers off of panels? Pull a suspect outlet's cover?

Chris Bernhardt Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Without actually grabing hold of the individual wire nutted splices looking at them closer and then testing the connection by giving it an appropriate tug and twist to the wires and wire nut how do you know if you have a sound connection? Sometimes them there wire nuts will fall right off. When I said eval I met for the electician to check the connections and fix them. I guess I should have said that.
