'Electrical Inspections of Existing Dwellings' published by ITA has a section covering central heating equipment. Cord and plug connections may have been allowed by the AHJ in our area in the past but electric furnace installations now require a circuit breaker sub-panel or disconnect panel inside the HVAC closet or within sight of the furnace. The provision to have a circuit breaker or disconnect panel within sight so that a person performing repairs can see that the power is off also applies to electric water heaters and Central A/C compressor units.

Same here.

We don't have too many electric furnaces or electric water heaters, especially after the power crisis of 2000-2001. Everyone who did have them prior to that has, if at all humanly possible, switched to gas.

Thats correct , it was not working.

OTL Tourney??????

[tneumann]

Over the Line...it is beach softball played w/out gloves and with 3 man/woman teams.

I have played since 1992 when it was NOT fashionable....since I have come to Colorado I haven't played in a world tourney. I miss it terribly...giant 3 day party 2 weekends in a row.

Not for the faint of heart or folks who don't appreciate a little skin. SIGH
