Default Anyone not inspecting disconnect boxes?

I do.

5 ton A/C condensor, (gas heat)
This client would not have had any A/C next cooling season.

First picture is with the inside cover removed.
No wires are burned or discolored, picture has some shadows.

Second picture from different angle.

Default Re: Anyone not inspecting disconnect boxes?

I hope everyone does......only takes a second and some BAD things can go on if done incorrectly....along with this is ensuring the entire setup is correct in the requirements of the nameplate and conductor sizes and OCPD sizes so...in the words of an old fat man....

1.) STOP
2.) INSPECT
3.) VERIFY
4.) REPORT

oh wait...sorry...those are MY words.....
