Electrical issues Why it is a good idea to have a home inspection © 2011 RCIS LLC

Panel hazards Double tapping the main breaker, left, and wires crossing the live buss, right, are safety hazards which should be corrected by a licensed electrician. © 2011 RCIS LLC

Panel hazards On the left, an improperly wired electric dryer circuit has led to overheating. On the right, something went wrong that should be checked out by a licensed electrician. © 2011 RCIS LLC

Other hazards On the left, an improperly wired garbage disposal. On the right, wiring in an attic that caught fire. © 2011 RCIS LLC

Other hazards The hazard with these two panels should be obvious as is the duct tape closure for the electric meter. © 2011 RCIS LLC

Why have an inspection Another dozen slides with electrical issues found on inspections could have been added. The majority of the safety hazards that are written up are electrical in nature. These are not things you may see when looking for a home. © 2011 RCIS LLC
