Older than some of the inspectors on this board. I do my load test on the electrical panel before I check any furnace. This furnace being electric I fired it off to put amps on the panel and from the amp reading on the main breaker I knew the furnace was not operating all elements
Sure enough when I open the panel on the furnace front like all good inspectors should low and behold I needed not my amp meter to check the elements I could see two elements with burnt off wires
Well to each his own but I can guarantee you will miss some elements that are bad such as on the one in my pic it has one 70 amp breaker in the main panel none at the furnace hard wired in and two elements were not working and the discharge air temp was above a 100 degrees. I wish you lived next door to me and were my competition :p:p
