Hello all, quick question with maybe some code reference that can be given to me for better reference. We have a gas furnace that was replaced by hvac contractor. The hvac contractor installed an appliance cord for the furnace and plugged it into the outlet that was there for the old furnace. We'll the hvac inspector said the cord/plug disconnect isn't allowed. He required it to be on a switch. We then installed a switch and switched the outlet that the cord is plugged into. Now the hvac inspector is requiring the outlet to be removed and we need to make it a hard wired connection from the switch without having the outlet being utilized. Can I get help finding this in the code book where it states he is correct? Or is he at this point picking on the customer. My main concern is that the customer is tight on funds, and we're trying to make this right. Also trying not to provide work if it's not needed. Thank you all
