This could be my problem, but I don’t know, so I had a large Subdivision the owner‘s building them , just the 1700 square-foot home nothing fancy so I gave him 200 amp service. I asked them. What are you doing for heating and all this other jazz his son told me Electric range, gas, water heater, and furnace no plans whatsoever no information whatsoever so I base it on a general home. That’s how I come up with the service size. Well when I go to wire it he has the heat pump outside not a big deal. It’s a little 32 amp 240 V.
I go and look at the furnace no indication of any additional heat strips so I’m like this must just be a blower motor kind of big but whatever.
Two weeks later, he calls and says where’s the circuit for the heater I said I asked you and no one told me you just gave me the unit outside. HVAC guy says well you could’ve looked inside and looked at the breaker..
My response is you’re supposed to mark what’s going in this unit size and give me information so pound sand..
The units 100 amp furnace. So now he’s pushing my load quite high. I’m thinking of having to tell him since you gave me no information and I sized your service. We’re pushing it. You might have to cut the heat strips back…
I asked them for all the information and they gave it to me as they please so I’m thinking of writing him a letter and saying due to the lack of information we are not held responsible for any of this stuff we sized it based on what information we were provided if anything additional comes, it is at the owners expense that we were doing time material because of the lack of electrical plans and information we received
