Oh no, whats wrong on this side??? :rolleyes: Maybe I shouldnt have posted any of their job....ignorance would be bliss!!

Thanks Ill contact them. Understood on the panel...my use case is pretty basic so its just a lesson for a future house that I'll probably just do the panel myself. I can always redo the GFCI. once I get my shelving units built, I will be running more outlets anyway, so I'll just fix it to your...

now the whole thing is getting critiqued, how does the breaker side look?

Is this unacceptable for $2200, or is this what I should expect for that price? These days with contractors I have no idea on pricing and expectations...The electrician has 5 star reviews, licensed etc...Maybe it was just these guys who did a bad job? Ugh....

You got me too…I don’t know much here…! Slowly learning and felt good on the AC disconnect box but per this thread didn’t feel right doing the subpanel so got someone out, appears a few things were skipped. Question is should I email the owner and ask if this is to code then? On the LT is that...

Looks like just a grommet to me?

No permit, no. Can I simply get a push NM connector myself and call it good? I think im capable of removing the wires and feed one through? Fwiw here is my AC disconnect box I did last week. Someone say everything looks OK? I used a NM connector in that one. Maybe I should have done the...

Is this a call back item for the electrician?

Paid licensed electrician…is it fine? It’s an Eaton panel.

Job done! I'm thinking I will follow what the electrician did (after power off) and run my orange 10ga mini split wire down the wall behind the unit as well and throw that in so I dont have to deal with any conduit. Should be straightforward enough. I wanted to wait til they installed to...

Decided on the Pioneer 24k Mini split https://www.homedepot.com/p/Pioneer-Low-Ambient-24-000-BTU-2-Ton-20-SEER-Wi-Fi-Ductless-Mini-Split-Inverter-and-Air-Conditioner-with-Heat-Pump-208-230-Volt-WYT024GLFI22RL/321360705?MERCH=REC-_-rv_cartempty_rr-_-n/a-_-2-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a It went...

Its 12 space panel, I think that should be enough for me personally. 2 for mini split, 2 for EV charger that leaves me 8 spaces left which is more than enough. Also I believe this work will qualify for 30% tax credit as well since its electrical 'upgrade' related to the mini split install.

got a quote back -- $2200 from a local electrician I have used once before who did good work, I think that seems reasonable in 2025 these days? They have done many home workshops - he recommended a 70a load center. He will run the wiring, put a 60amp breaker in the main panel and wire me 1x...

Installing a mini split in the attached garage. The ceiling in the garage has fiberglass insulation, great. But when I cut into the walls, unfortunately I found none. One wall gets sun all day long so I feel that side in particular is a non-negotiable or it will just radiate heat through. Whats...

I have the rods arriving tomorrow and will cautiously wind them while having it all locked down. My only question is how much can I additionally wind them before it’s too much? I’m hoping it’s just a couple of quarter turns but where do I stop and it’s getting too much tension? One full turn...

They are new as of only 2 years ago so unfortunately kind of new and feel like the $650 I paid was a rip off since he was done in 30mins…left a sour taste Can’t just adjust them a little and even with a reduced life deal with it when it breaks?

Yes sorry I didn’t write out clearly — it does not balance itself with the cord disconnecting. It’s got a lot of weight pulling it down so definitely unbalance and won’t hold itself at any point

If I disconnect it, Im unable to lift it up by the cord, so I guess it needs adjusting then?

It was 4.2 sheets total so about 26lbs added.
