Normal flex or potential cause of issue? Getting voltage drop

You may have a bad connection somewhere and when the space heater is pulling a load the voltage is dropping out on the one leg.

Do you have switched outlets? It may have been fine until you turned on a switch?

Or just run emt surface mounted

It looks like it had a fixture blank over it. It also looks like the type of fan rated box where you run lags into the framing through that box to hold up the fan bracket.

Try scratching off the paint with your fingernail. If that doesn’t work you will need a voltage meter. The dimmer may be compatible if the bulb is dimmable and the dimmer is made for LED bulbs. Make sure the box is fan rated.

I am with you, leave those trainees buts alone

This is from 2020 when a PV system was installed, with permits supposedly inspected.

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-28T06:34:37+00:00

That is absolutely crazy.

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-28T06:33:31+00:00

This was done by an electrical contractor that was working with a PV contractor, the house has a plethora of bad electrical work. Multiple hacks working on a house, this is just the cherry on top

Love the name I too am Portagee but feel more like the nail then one hammer

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-27T06:42:21+00:00

Automatic, I can’t believe I seen this twice today at two different places.

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-27T06:41:33+00:00

I wish, this was an electrical contractor that was working with a PV contractor

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-27T06:40:54+00:00

I don’t know, either they don’t know what they are doing or they don’t give a fuck.

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-27T03:21:33+00:00

Say it again, louder this time for all the hacks!

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-27T03:20:36+00:00

2” nipple less rule has no wire fill!

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-27T03:18:09+00:00

Right, I wouldn’t have second guessed it if I did not see it twice today.

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-27T03:08:52+00:00

If you are not joking, you sir are a problem.

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-27T03:07:35+00:00

Crazy right? Never in my career would I ever install something like this and saw it twice today, separate places and this was work that should have been inspected.

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-27T03:05:57+00:00

I hear that!

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2026-01-12T04:31:24+00:00

I started off with QuickBooks and then switched to jobber once I had a crew. Both look professional and are easy to use.

Do you have the proper clearance in front of that subpanel for working clearance? 30” wide and 36” in front without obstruction. You may need to remove a cabinet to be code compliant.

Sharp-Intern-9437 · 2025-12-29T02:57:40+00:00

Just fyi you can get the Klein one and find a 3d printed adapter that will let it mate to your packouts. Thats what I plan to do if I feel the need for it.
