Not that i am allowed to do electrical work in a multi-dwelling unit, but if the electrician says he'll inspect, and put it under
his name, who am i not to save some $$$
so this property, which will remain anonymous, was built in the 70s - and to save $$, they tied the circuits for the a/c to the heat - figuring that
the two would never be on at the same time, so why not. That won't fly now - luckily there was room in the box. Found the offending wires, and removed
them from the box where they tied to the heat - then ran some new wires to a new service switch for the air handler, and a new wire to splice into the
wire for the condenser. Also had to add a service light and outlet in the attic where the air handler will be replaced.
This one did require shutting off the mains, which were outside. so event he lugs were dead. That made it easy.
forgot to take an after picture - but when i was done, it was even more crowded.......
