My niece is selling her home. It is a small house, she has 100amp GE panel. There were 4 double taps. The panel had one space available, so I split one of the taps, it had the dishwasher and the mud room. The other three I spliced and put one wire to the breaker. I went through the house with my niece and they were minimal loads, one double was doing entrance lights and attic, one we couldn't even find. Ge doesn't make tandem breakers, I could have put in Siemons or Murray but they are not listed. It seems unnecessary to do a sub panel (plus it's a fieldstone basement wall no room on the existing wood) as this work looked like someone who didn't know what they were doing. I say that because the double taps were 3-wire and there were a couple of other 3-wire cables where the red wasn't being used. The buyer and his realtor saw no breakers listed on the invoice, (I forgot to put down the one I did install) and they opened the box and are complaining about the splices. My niece wants me to just redo the invoice with the breaker on it. I told her I can try to explain that there was no appreciable load on the other wires but I don't think they will like it. Any suggestions?
