Could you be a bit more specific with your question? Tell us what you found and maybe we will have an idea of what you missed. Did you know it's a Stab-lok?

Improper bonding and improper termination of grounds for starters.

The whole house was rewired, but not upgraded, true. I did not know it's a stab-lok. tell me more on that one please. Plus, is it a 60 or 100 amp? The frig is a dorm frig, everything else is natural gas. This panel is also supporting a separate building that is storage but has 7 outlet boxes. The house is 500 sqs.

I'd say it's 60 amps based on the conductor size. Do a search on this MB for FPE and/or Stab-lok load centers. There is much to learn about these.

Educate yourself on these panels and make that decision yourself. . .

Thats not a 1933 panel and its not a 2007 panel. Looks like they rewired in the 1970's. So it could be upgraded but does not meet current standards. Did you see knob and tube wiring still in use? www.MauiHomeInspections,com |
