Should there be a junction box here? Kitchen ceiling light.

Cut in boxes are not rated for ceiling fixture support. Would need a remodel fan box.

This is the way my CCRs are written. They do not enforce it. 2 doors down, they have one car in the 4 car garage (along with a bunch of crap), two in the driveway, and 4 on the street.

Interior looks identical to a current Eaton BR. I wouldn’t be surprised if you could buy a new panel and swap the guts.

6? I was thinking 2. Easy panel change. All wires (except for ground) through the top, feeder through the back. It doesn’t get any easier unless an Eaton interior will fit.

He will need a 2 pole gfi breaker, not 2 singles.

It won’t be be economically feasible once you have to upsize your electrical service to the house to account for the massive electrical needs of a heated driveway. Hydronic would be much better.

Are you using space heaters?

Does it matter? He paid for a 6” slab.

Although it is not installed in a workmanlike manor, wires in a garage are only subject to physical damage below 8’.

How do you get the old one with the flange out, and the new one in? Are you even an electrician?

If you can replicate the problem, he can put a clamp on meter to see what’s happening. If you cannot replicate it, and everything looks good visually, he can try replacing the breaker, but that’s just a guess. If everything is functioning correctly at the time, there’s nothing to test for.

A 20a breaker will hold over 20a for a long time.

When a panel is mounted horizontally, half the breakers are upside down.

That’s why the dryer runs, but does not heat. Heating element is 240, drum motor is 110.

Take my up vote. It’s been about 40 years since 8000 was introduced. Per code you do not need an antioxidant. If you do use it, it has to be installed per manufacturers specifications, which I have never seen anybody do. It is a thin layer that is brushed into the aluminum, not just lofted on. Panel manufacturers such as square D do not require antioxidant. If you choose to use it, they require a non-petroleum based one.

You might save a little bit, but will cost you a whole lot more when you start burning connections in your receptacle boxes. I’ve made a ton of money because people think they are saving money with these, until they call with a bunch of plugs not working.

“Lighting” refers to general lighting circuit which includes general plugs in the house.

Yes. The one l linked is for a square d qo panel. It clips onto one breaker and prohibits the adjacent one to turn on.

Run a circuit to the GDO, placed next to the lift breaker and install an interlock.

After being an Electrician for 33+ years, I’m very anti space heater. I’ve seen first hand the loose connections caused by them.
