The seller is saying they will not upgrade the electric and it is normal to have 100 amps. However the inspector is stating it may trip often and I should get it upgraded. It is about 1300 sq ft and the sellers are just being stubborn. Here is the invoice from "their" electrician. Please let me know if I should push harder and ask for the upgrade or walk from the deal since they do not want to gove any conseccessions.
This is what the REALTOR claims:
Repairs update
A professional electrician was inspecting the panel today (report is attached)
below are his conclusions:
1. There are no mix matches to undo. Everything is perfectly fine.
2.A level of 100 is what this house is requires like the rest of the houses in this community ,
There is no need for something stronger, in fact to increase that to 220 makes no sense and you would have to have a special permit from the city.
3. Some of the wires are combined together and that is up to code to the year this house was built , there is no safety hazard with it like that
it's true that nowadays they install larger boxes with separate sections for each wire for larger houses; most condo/townhouses have it this way.
4. As you can see in the video the thermostat works perfectly fine.
This is whay their electrician is saying.
