Many HIs are doing Mold, Radon, EMF and now FLIR testing.
I was wondering how others handle an inspection report that says that a breaker is overheaded.
Here is an example that I found on the Internet. From the picture the breaker and conductor do not look to be overheated. Does it to you?
50? Celsius = 122? Fahrenheit my guess from looking at the picture.
Picture and quote from: http://www.pinnaclepropertyinspection.com/blog/archives/tag/flir-thermal-imager
"The Fluke and Flir thermal imagers are used on a breaker box to see if there is a temperature difference. When we see that there is an issue like in the image supplied we suggest an electrician come and investigate further. The issue at hand is overloading of this circuit with to many fixtures in the home. The remedy for this electrical box is to separate the fixtures throughout the home and run a dedicated breaker to eliminate overheating."
Once a picture is shown that indicates a possible problem how do you over come that?
What if the amp draw is within range?
