Buyers Information Tip
Electrical Panel Safety
  Check your panel and see if it's a Federal Pacific panel. The Federal Pacific panel is noted as one of the panels that has unreliable breakers. It is possible that a breaker would not trip and protect if there is an electrical problem with the line the breaker protects. Our inspectors will recommend that the panel be changed for safety reasons whenever they discover Federal Pacific panel. Millions of these boxes have been installed in homes particularly older homes. Many owner will say I lived here for thirty years and never had a problem and the answer to that is, you never had a problem because you never needed a safety breaker to trip with one of the bad circuit breaker.
NOTE - The Federal Pacific panel is known for safety problems and should be changed.


SIMPLE DOOR BELL REPAIRS
Working seventeen years as a home inspector and three years as a review inspector I'm still amazed at the amount of homes that the door bells are non functional or no door bell at all. Most of the time it's a simple repair of changing the door bell button. A task most anyone can do safely, it very low voltage at the door bell button. If it's not the button and you don't want to get into wiring problems, there is a very easy solution. Buy a wireless door bell that operates by just plugging in the chime to a standard electrical outlet and mount the wireless button by the door. The wireless door bells work great and you won't have to keep looking out the window when you have company coming so the guests are not standing out front because you don't have a door bell.
