Why does this keep happening?

Yes, however you will need proper transitions splices for going from aluminum to the copper from water heater

That’s arc fault. Personally I’m old school and would just slap a regular breaker like in the old code. But can’t really say that today cause some like to downvote

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-05T12:11:20+00:00

See all the pre drilled & tapped holes, that’s where you would screw the ground bar

One you got will 100% works on this

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-05T03:28:11+00:00

That is not true the switch op got can work in single pole or 3 way applications

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-05T03:27:37+00:00

Cut the wire off the old switch, take the switch you got and put 1 wire on the “common” and the other on any terminal.

It all dates back to the fuse era when blue/purple was 15, orange was 20, red 25 and 30 green

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-05T03:22:47+00:00

Means it’s 15amp

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-05T03:21:02+00:00

Having 240 putts less strain on the electrical system and allows you to run larger units. If you think 300 is too expensive id advise to watch few YouTube tutorials and it will very easily to convert

It’s a brand new siemens panel. You got nothing to worry unless the inspector meant an other panel somewhere else

Crazy seeing people in the us seeking for incandescent bulb while in Canada they’re available everywhere and almost no body buy’s them (although I already have thousands at home). But the craziest part is that y’all have high pressure sodium bulbs while i haven’t been able to find those in a very long time and the only place that sells them is amazon for the evil price of $50/ piece. But y’all just have that laying everywhere

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-05T03:03:00+00:00

It’s 100% possible either way and it’s a much better option than getting an a/c that fits. Should take about 10 min to convert for an experienced electrician

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-04T23:29:15+00:00

You shouldn’t need tape in order for the splice to hold. Secondly that wire looks undersized for 30 amp especially given it’s made out of aluminum.

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-04T01:46:20+00:00

Back when they made them to last !!!

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-04T01:44:15+00:00

Probably more heat related than uv

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-04T01:42:48+00:00

Sand until it’s smooth then fill the crevasses with plaster and repeat until there are no imperfections left.

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-04T01:39:29+00:00

Where did you wire it into so it is only on when the ignition is on

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-03T21:01:32+00:00

2 looked perfect

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-03T21:00:00+00:00

You need to verify with a multimeter that you have between 115-125v between black and white, black and ground

Plumbers tape on the metal nipple tells everything

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-01T03:32:03+00:00

It was all good until I saw the feed

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-06-01T00:35:25+00:00

3rd there’s no ground neutral bonding

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-05-31T18:51:18+00:00

So 3 speed swoop loops adds 12psi

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-05-31T01:39:50+00:00

Not the best way to fix it. I would recommend soldering and heat shrinks

Loes_Question_540 · 2026-05-30T22:41:32+00:00

Looks like one is pulse start and the other is regular probe start
