I eventually had to retire from residential electrical contracting, because very few clients can afford to "do things correctly." Of course, the most correct thing would have been to BUILD IT CORRECTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE, but few homebuilders have intelligent-enough clients to make build quality their standard.
As the old roofing joke goes: "warranty runs out; water runs in."
- egberts1 3y agoYeah, near victim of residential fire here. 1960s house with aluminum wiring here. Bare minimum you must do when buying such a house is to recheck every wirenut in every box. Replace all wirenuts with zinc-based lugnut if any copper wire touches aluminum wire. The Bare minimum effort. No time? Invest in cheap ($60) 32x32 pixel infrared sensor and look for a heat producing wiring box. This one caught one that completely melted the wiring conductors.
