EFTA00283811 | EFTA00283822 this, we recommend that you obtain an insurance policy that covers blockages and damage to the main sewage pipe(s). ELECTRICITY The 200-ampere, 120 / 240-volt electrical system enters the building via overhead cables. The electric meter and main service disconnect switch are located on the exterior of the building (see photo below left). The primary panelboard (load center) is located in the basement/utility room. (see photo below center). There is also a secondary panelboard (sub panel) located in the basement/ utility room. The main distribution panel has been fed with aluminum feeders. The sub panel has been fed with copper. Where visible the distribution conductors (wires) are copper, armored cable (AC / BX) and copper, non-metallic sheathed cable (NM / Romex) type conductors (wires). They were in generally acceptable condition. All circuit breakers in the electrical panel should be properly labeled for your safety and for your convenience. The electrical breaker switches in the panel should be tested on an annual basis. The system has been grounded to the incoming water pipe. IL _a There is a 20-ampere electrical circuit breaker in the main electric panel (r d breaker down on the left side of the panel — see photo above center) that has not been wired correctly. The correct size breaker must be fitted onto the correct size wire to prevent overheating of the wire. The 20-ampere breaker should be fitted with a 12 gauge wire for your safety. Have a qualified, licensed electrical contractor make the necessary corrections prior to your closing. Some of the electrical wiring is of the armored cable (AC / BX), cloth and varnish insulation type. This wiring was commonly used during the era in which this house was constructed/renovated. As this type of branch circuit conductors gets older, it can fray and get brittle. It is common to observe some fraying at the connections where this type of wiring is in use. This is especially evident if these wires have been disturbed while performing repairs or renovations. It is common to have to repair or replace brittle and frayed cloth wiring when electrical outlets, wall switches and lighting fixtures are repaired or updated in a house using this type of wiring. Please note that we are unable to check the wiring concealed behind the walls, ceilings and in junction boxes, at the outlets, at wall switches, at electrical fixtures, etc., therefore we cannot report on the integrity of these AC / BX cables with cloth insulated wires. The integrity and safety of these wires can only be determined by specialized testing performed by a qualified, licensed electrician, therefore we recommend that the AC wires with cloth insulation be tested for your safety. 12 EFTA00283822 Epstein Web iOS app on the App Store.
