I honestly could not believe it when I opened up the panel to find this.
At least you can use the clips as a disconnect.

Meter Pulled, new disconnect to be installed tomorrow. Unbelieveable the things you run into out there. On top of that the homeowner told be its been like that for a year on a home with a 200 amp service.

Wow, it really makes you wonder how people that do this can sleep at night.

Look at the magic smoke footprint on the right leg. Wonder what took out the breaker.

GA's basic rules of home heating and AC upgrades:
*Installation is more important than the brand of equipment
*The duct system keeps the house comfortable; the equipment only heats and cools (and dehumidifies)
*The value of comfort, over the long term; leave economic choices behind!

This doesn't shock me at all . I went to a friends house when I was younger to look at why their furnace kept tripping the breaker(s) in the house . I walk in and right off the kitchen is a furnace suspended from the ceiling , with a cardboard trunk , and coffee can ductwork . Needless to say , I told him he had bigger problems and walked away ! What had happened is this guy bought a gutted house that needed to have the gas line coming to the house repaired . Instead, he has his cousin(I think ) the "electrician " come over and this guy installs three electric furnaces in the house . The hanging kitchen one , one upstairs for the bedrooms , and one in the garage ! Yeah , all with the cardboard ductwork . That's when I knew I needed to find a better class of people to associate with

This is on the main disconnect at the service pole on a manufactured home. This isnt just for the HVAC, its for the whole home. Not to mention someone moved a new home with a 200 amp service in, and just used the 100 amp wire. Everything about this job is wrong and dangerous.

A waste of a good set of jumper cables....
