I need to replace a faulty breaker. Here's a picture of my main breaker box. There's no master switch that I can see that shuts off power to all of the breakers.
Following the line up and out of the box, it runs along the basement ceiling and out through a hole in the foundation.
Let me know if you need to see something else.
Edit. Resolved! I found a master switch on the outside of the house in a panel adjacent to the meter. Weird that anyone can just walk up to my house and turn all of the power off.
I toured a house that still had TL fuses and cloth-wrapped electrical...No inspection needed in 2025 if it passed in 1940 and was never updated!
That’s normal. It’s meant to be that way. You only have to get up to current code when making major changes, and only for what you’re changing. If you always had to be up to date, no one could afford to maintain a house: you’d be making changes every year.
Yeah, I was just giving an example that inspections aren't required. A less extreme example would be asbestos tiles/insulation but that's not dangerous unless you damage it
