HVAC tech or sparky? Notice how nicely the thermostat wiring was attached to the box and routed through the sealtight (LFMC).

Since it's an electrical violation I would say that a sparky would get the call to fix it.

My company policy is to refer all electrical issues to sparky's, only.
You don't refer your HVAC issues to a carpenter, do you? (Although sometimes you probably should)! Jeffrey R. Jonas Critical Eye Property Inspections JRJ Consultants Owatonna, Minnesota Chapter President InterNachi Awards Portal: http://co.nachi.org/inachiawards/

There's a first. I've seen it mis-spelled many ways, but that's a doosey!

My question was more for fun (and Charley B's entertainment), but either call would be prudent. A qualified contractor of either trade can correct this issue, although I suspect the HVAC contractor was responsible for the original mistake.

I posted my other thread for the same reason, but mophed into a serious thread on it's own. That's good though. Joke's go from being funny really quick when chit goes wrong. In this case... as the wiring enters the disconnect box, I refer to a sparky. If it did not, I would comment that a HVAC tech could repair, as it would only be low voltage and minimal risk.

The thermostat wires (low voltage wiring) need to be relacated, which should be done by an HVAC specialist.

The trade that did it in the first place should be the trade to fix it.
Except: Bad disconnect installed by electrician, connected to the equipment by HVAC contractor; should be correct by the HVAC contractor as they allowed it's use.
