How did you manage inspecting the rest of the house with all those spots floating around in your eyes?

I tried to see the wattage. The data plate was illegible. I'm sure it pulls quite a load.

Is that a Commercial Halogen light? If so, it may only be rated for indoor use anyway.

When I see that type of setup, the hvac "disconnect" is usually (likely) double tapped into the meter base which makes it another main panel.

How do you write that up if that was the case Paul?

This house had pages of electrical issues. I said the entire system needed an evaluation. What about the black extension cord tapped directly in to the meter base? Pretty clever, huh?

well for starters if the service disconnect for the dwelling is not outside and they tap into the meter to an HVAC disconnect...then I would say opps you are not meeting the requirements of 230.72 ( grouping ) and defer to an licensed electrical contractor....lol
