Do you have to consider the owner’s budget when transitioning to a new panel for improved safety and efficiency?

Every now and then, you have to collaborate with the owner’s budget and the service provider. Overall, it’s safer and more efficient than the previous setup. Once the old service is disconnected, the branch circuits will be connected to the new panel inside.

I’m sorry, it’s painful to see

Bently Clark

There’s a whole lot happening over there.

Emily Martin

I can’t believe they permit the use of PVC for a riser

Bernardo Carvajal

It’s actually quite common, I’ve easily installed a couple hundred in PVC

Emily Martin

I don’t think our utility companies allow it. Even if it’s sunlight rated, it does deteriorate.

Aida Uribe

I’ve never used anything but rigid, but at least it’s better than raw sewage.

Sophie Garcia

Doesn’t see cable deterioration?

Emily Martin

Agrees.

Emily Martin

I wonder if it’s down south or on the west northwest coast. I live in the desert where it gets too wet here.

Cristian Quintanilla

Is known here in Utah, but they don’t allow that so this is odd at most.

In my area, it’s required to be 3 feet away from a window

Nina Barnes

Mentions that the exception is only for the open conductors, and it allows them to be closer to 3′ once they are above the window

Maeva Morin

The POA appears excessively low

Nina Barnes

Based on ‘s information, if each siding course is 8″, then I measure about 16′ from the bottom of the siding. Even if they are only 6″, that adds up to 12’. The minimum distance from grade is 10′, so it should be fine

Maeva Morin

It looks like is talking about the standard lumberyard vinyl 8″ siding, making each line 4″. The siding appears to be 8′ 4″ above the masonry. Typically, basement windows are 12″ tall. Based on what I see, it’s less than 10′ to POA

Maeva Morin

From what I can tell, is referring to 3 block courses along with 8.3 feet of siding. I see a total of 10.3′

Maeva Morin

I think ‘s 10″ long cantex lb clearly marks each siding line as 4″

Art Jones

Reat, the children can turn the incoming line into a swingset

Alex Kim

The height of the POA seems quite low, similar to the one beside it. In Canada, the POA must be at least 15ft above the ground.

Arthur Lynch

Is that a linebacker 🤔

Vincent Bergeron

Seems fine to me

Sophie Garcia

The drip loop seems a bit short

Cristian Quintanilla

Why lower the price just to please the customer? It gives them the impression that they understand the pricing and requirements, even though they mentioned having a budget. ood on you for watching out for that though, buddy
