not a problem. I did not see an inspector here at all, the only person I saw was the person who sold me the A/C. He may be qualified to inspect the work, that's what I assumed. Maybe they didn't even get a permit, I do know that A/C does not require a building permit but it does require electrical. I never saw the permit and again I should have asked for it. Another naive choice that I made. The fact that I had previous experience with this company and it is a 'family company', I certainly expected the same kind of expertise I saw with the previous installations, but then my husband was alive at the time and dealt with them and that can make a difference with some people, though it shouldn't in this day and age.
I still have that one question which I hope you will answer: Are the copper pipes used in this kind of installation soft and bendable like hot water pipes or are they made of the old copper hard pipe. This is my main concern in the furnace room and if they are hard pipes it sounds like I really have nothing to worry about in there either.
As for the electrical I can have the hydro shut down and put a screw in the plate that falls out every time you lift the lid and that will solve the problem of the exposed wires.
Thanks again
