New being new construction? What about just a basic existing home 100 amp to 200 amp upgrade??
Thanks for the info.
Are you talking about the 6-month grace period for the new code adoption? That evaporated 17 days ago.
I believe that the 6 month grace period mentioned is for the rehab code.
Correct
I'm still not following.
If the work falls under the rehab code, for example a panel swap, that would be subject to the rehab 6 month grace period as the new rehab code just came out
The rehab code is amended on an ad hoc basis and I don't believe it has a grace period, at least not one I can find at the DCA site.
I went to a CEU seminar today and that's what they told us. Things that fall under the rehab code like a service change will have a 6 month grace period starting March 6, 2023. They also told us that the DCA is looking for a work around to the 2020 NEC requirement of providing GFCI protection for AC units now that it has been removed from the 2023 NEC.
It's a TIA until 2026.
Not sure what that means. According to Mike Holt's 2023 code changes book an exception has been added to remove the requirement for GFCI protection of AC units.
Just a side note: Why can't Ultility companies that have existing capabilities built into their smart meters to easily turn off a residential 100 & 200 services be equipped with a barrel lock key or a push to open insulated handle to secure power to save homeowners a ton if money. Up here in the cold North never a fan of having cheap plug in circuit breakers installed outdoors.
