GFCI receptacle tapped off LINE side of airhandler disconnect

[qcroanoke]

If it is on the load side of the disconnect, then you can't disconnect the HVAC unit to do service work and have the receptacle available for said service work.

On the line side the receptacle remains powered.

Good point.

I've never been a fan of 2 separate circuits being in a disconnect, one for the AC and one for the Service Outlet.

I know it's convenient to do so, but something about not being able to kill all the power in a disconnect with 1 throw of a breaker never has sat well

with me.

Handle tie can make it one throw.

Handle tie can make it one throw.

Not a fan of a 2p breaker handle tied to a 1p either.
Not a fan of a 3p breaker in a 1ph panel either.
Not a fan of ......
