Position of light switched Up or Down

[jtedesco1]

Right on! Show me any technical book that shows a single pole switch marked ON and OFF upside down, it is really very simple just tell the buyer that they should be turned around in order to avoid confusion.

Show me a potential home owner/buyer who probably gives a RATS ***** which way their switches are as long as they work.

Sorry..I think most HI's will leave that little slice of information off their report.

Yup.

But many Home Inspectors do include that as a defect on their report, you can leave it off of yours that's OK with me.

At least mention it!

What did people do when there was only a pull chain for the operation of the light in the room.

Normal in my area is 54 inches .
I pointed it out to my client but put nothing in my report.
This is a seniors community and many of us when we get old tend to shrink and stoop.
This to me seemed like a satisfactory solution.
The client agreed.

I guess since you know MANY do put it on the report that asking members IF they include it in their report was....ahhh....a bit redundant now wasnt it.

Pulled it when they wanted light....pulled it again to turn it off. Good news here is that the chain is always hanging right side up.

Joe I do not think you do very many, if any home inspections, with the posts you make .
They seem to be all slanted towards electrical, much of it information that is not very helpful to home inspectors .
We have other electricians who I do not think do many ,if any home inspections and their posts seem to be very informative to the Home inspection industry.

Yes, I am only concerned with the electrical systems.

Are you speaking for the entire industry?

My information is of value and many do appreciate it, if you don't like what you read ignore me!

Tell us about the way in which this listed product helps to solve some problems, and how it fits in the calcuation for the number of receptacles installed in a COMMERCIAL building.
