Quick home electric question

diymirage said

Yes, we had an inspection done, but if it was noticed, I dont recall hearing about it


I called my power company and the could tell me a new meter was installed "at some point"
They couldn't tell me when or where

On monday I'll call the city, see if I can find a history on permits, maybe that will shed some light on it



Then I'll see if I have them make the 200 amp panel the main, so I can install a proper interlock (and move that cable to avoid pinch points)

I don't think I'd call the city until you get an electrician to look at it for you. If the electrical inspector comes out and looks at it, and finds a lot of problems....he may call the power company and have them disconnect the electricity until it's fixed and he re-inspects it. If the electrician can get the power flowing from the bottom of the new meter base that has the meter in it, to the top of that 200 amp breaker in the big panel, and then properly feed the smaller panel from the big one...you should be good to go.
