Hypothetical question only: So the tree falls and takes out the service entrance cable and drop over the driveway to the pole. Customer calls POCO @ 4am, they come and disconnect back to the road.. Next calls electrician (he-hem) and tree company, help, no power. Tree co removes tree. Electrician looks and says, though your stuff is older, the meters are still outside and serviceable, and the dual fused panel service was apparently working fine before the interruption.
Electrician proposes to change out the damaged SE cable and weather head and POA. Inspector shows up, demands to check the panel in the basement, goes through it with a tooth comb, finding several usual sub standard items. Inspector then tells electrician he must fix it. Electrician and customer already contracted to do the job for a certain price. Thoughts?
