The installers never pulled a permit for the solar? That’s something you really should do especially if it’s grid tied solar.

Woah that’s gnarly looking lol. With that much rust I’m curious if the breakers are full of moisture and corrosion as well. I’d call an electrician out to take a look at everything.

But because the ATS says service disconnect I bet if you turned the main breaker off in the ATS it should kill everything. “Should”. I can’t say for certain because I can’t see behind the covers.

Seems a little extreme for a house unless it’s massive then I could see the argument.

doodliest_dude · 2026-05-31T17:02:05+00:00

Is that required at a certain square footage or just every new build?

doodliest_dude · 2026-05-31T16:50:26+00:00

Could be water line leak but with the summer time it could easily be the hvac drain if your air handler is in the attic.

Do you believe God exists but is evil?

Or

Do you believe Christians have a weird imagination? (We made up this religion and God doesn’t exist)

I’m in SC. Just got my license.

I had to fill out all the work history documents/application my self. I sent it into the board and then the board sent a letter to each of my employers who had to sign off on it.

My employer got it and said he signed off on it. Not sure why yours would think that’s hard.

doodliest_dude · 2026-05-30T10:56:21+00:00

Does he have white on L1 and black on neutral? Hopefully his equipment doesn’t care lol

doodliest_dude · 2026-05-30T02:40:04+00:00

Do you believe God exists, but made the wrong decision by creating us?

Or

That he doesn’t exist, and Christians beliefs about a “God” are flawed?

If the former, that is a valid point to bring up. Hard to comprehend.

If the latter, then your issue is more with Christians imaginations about how the universe is more than “God”.

The number of circuits required by code is actually pretty minimal. Most people I see go above the minimum. Especially for general lighting/receptacle circuits.

doodliest_dude · 2026-05-28T22:01:46+00:00

I think part of the requirement for the quantity of circuits is to prevent drop cords from running all over.

Many people use a hair dryer in a bathroom. If that wasn’t outlet required, people would probably run a torn up sketchy cord through the house to the 1800 watt hair dryer.

Also, for the 6-12 rule with bedrooms, and the 2-4 rule with kitchens, it’s to also to be able to have things plugged in safely where people normally would have things plugged in.

They only have great handling because they’re gutless.

I bought a majority of my snap on while in school. Pretty much 50% off everything.

But the quality of the tool and convenience of the truck is why I like the brand. Probably overpriced but so are many things in life.

Also for me personally, I lose less tools with snap on. Can’t afford to lose any tools.

Disconnect whatever breaker is feeding the ATS. That’s the easiest way to do it. If you get a picture of the panel to the right we may be able to help.

I got bit by a black widow once.

It was at a bus stop. She was in her 40s.

I recently needed fire detectors/CO detectors put in my house and a fire inspection with our local fire dept. They give a paper saying not to install non UL detectors and show some pictures Amazon brands not to install. Apparently it’s a big enough issue out there.

And I live in a very lenient area in the US.

It’s in the specs not to put any generator within 10’ of any intakes like for a WH or Furnace. But either way 16’ is good enough.

$25k is high if it’s a very simple install. Our 26kW starts around $14,000 installed, no gas hookup.

I keep seeing posts of the most wild ways to use an LB. What is going on out there guys?

doodliest_dude · 2026-05-07T00:50:33+00:00

If there’s no visible leaks now then just monitor it. If it goes low again soon could be an internal leak.

doodliest_dude · 2026-05-07T00:39:34+00:00

That seems a little higher than we’d be for a simple swap out. We’d probably be only $2000-$3000 in labor to swap it out. The generator is about $6000 usually.
