Default Aluminium Wires
While inspecting inside the panel, pay special attention to the branch wiring if you see that the neutrals are solid Aluminum wires.

WOW What a novel idea Thanks Brian!!! Sharing tips

Oh and BTW I learned my lesson on that all it took was missing aluminum at the sub panel and I now double check

Panels have a lot to look at inside, its not a time to be in a hurry.

I like to inspect the panel early in the process to get an idea of what all is wired in the home and always take a few pictures.

Or an unusual amount of pigtail type splices.
