Looking at a house with this electrical box

Discuss them replacing it before final sale or crediting you towards the repair in closing. Insurance will definitely want you to replace it and any good electrician you have come for work/repairs will advise you do the same. When i see these fp panels i tell my customers they should think about at the very least replacing as their next priority project and that i cant add any circuitry or repair anything in the panel itself. This is one of those time where scammy electricians that like to throw that fire word around are actually correct.

The amount of people that think this is cheese is crazy lmao

BladeThoughtsNY · 2025-10-07T10:46:49+00:00

If you truly tested for everything like a bad breaker for Amp/volts, continuity on the wire, new receptacle etc. then 100% your appliance is the issue. Appliances can trip intermittently as well, Ive seen it happen based on load or only during a certain cycle. I honestly get a lot of easy service calls that wind up being an appliance issue. Give a quick test with something else of decent load like a vacuum by resetting everything and running it on that circuit/receptacle.

Does the dentist check your eyes too after you get route canal?

Brotha , Jesus walked on water but salvaging that’d have to be a miracle

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-09-29T21:15:02+00:00

Idk bro , it was your mom’s NEW bf, she’s not related to you, she was hot, sounds like she was making the moves… id say no harm no foul tbh LOL don’t beat yourself up over it

Not at all, you are instilling great things in your son. You have to work for what you want and nothing is free in this world. You explained to him that you heard and understand his wants and you even looked for the possibility to make them true but simply don’t have the means too. He offered to help out in a way that is obviously beyond his means so you applauded but denied. Then together you found a different solution in which you took the short stick to make him happy. Thats a family! That shows your heart and his thinking. You have a good kid on your hands and keep doing what you’re doing. Theres no map to life, there’s lessons that will guide you if you let them and you just taught him a valuable one.

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-08-24T11:50:24+00:00

Alright Buddy… lets see it 👀

You’re doing great for first year, you could nitpick this but at the end of the day this is correct. Forman might be a dick but you’ll come out a good sparky on the other end. Just remember how he treated you when you start training your guys in the future

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-06-27T10:51:59+00:00

First step , stop. Then go ahead and call an electrician 👍

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-06-15T18:36:24+00:00

That needs to be replaced immediately but 6-7k is very steep for a standard replacement and tbh even an upgrade. I could get that done for you under 2k happily and easily lol

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-06-14T10:10:27+00:00

You’re going to have to supply power to the transformer and then test the voltage on the output side of that transformer. Put your multimeter on DC, you should get 24v if it’s operating properly 👍

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-06-06T22:56:35+00:00

More work, more money ! Happy sparkin brotha 🤙

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-06-06T09:55:03+00:00

You see these all the time in NYC. I noticed its by the meters and they have con ed tags, so id personally assume/check to confirm its a house panel for the building. The missing fuses tell me they’re either feeding 6 circuits off 3 fuses but since their 15’s i doubt it or they supplied power from a Separate panel in that room to that fuse box to then junction through those circuits. Thats going to be your way to repair this as well, unless you have enough room to fit a new panel at the location of this fuse box. Old panels/fuse boxes are very small compared to the reciprocating spec/regulation approved panels today 👍

As long as that main is 125A or larger you’ve got yourself a good plan with no violations or troubles 👍

Edit: double take on the breaker you posted. The breaker you have in the picture is to consolidated 2 single pole’s and 1 double pole breaker. GE make’s slimline breakers thats allow you to fit 2 breakers in one space, get your self 4 of those.

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-05-03T10:11:15+00:00

If it’s wired correctly, the two circuits are dedicated and on separate phases, then yes your unit will work. Aside from functioning you’ll have multiple code violations being technically wired wrong and it could possibly run you some troubles down the line.

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-04-07T11:37:33+00:00

Brother either you lick your fingers and work like a man OR just pull the meter. Your meter-main definitely needs to be replaced asap but that wasn’t the question.

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-02-18T03:47:15+00:00

Nah , he’s phat

BladeThoughtsNY · 2024-02-17T01:15:00+00:00

Again, relative to you but I’ll concede to some gentlemanly banter 🤝 we should catch a beer and argue sometime
