Even if AL, but most likely tinned copper, it is multi-strand. This should never have been an issue with the insurance company. Your inspector should have known this, because he started this mess.
It was tinned with copper core. I tried to persuade the insurance company but the 4 point was the prevailing info so I had to be removed from the OnCall system.
I don’t understand how the insurance company has any jurisdiction on what is used outside the house in someone else’s equipment. Their responsibility should stop at the meter. The NEC covers the premise wiring.
The OnCall box is an optional system that the power company installs. It has the ability to turn off your AC if your area of the power grid is overloaded. In exchange for allowing them to do this they give you a monthly credit on your bill. They install the box and tap into your service panel.
Okay, so what I have learned so far is that the only problematic AL wire is solid / '65-'75 / 12-14 gauge. So, the Florida SOP doesn’t mention AL wiring from what I see. So, should I report:
- Any AL branch wiring
- only solid AL branch wiring
- only solid AL branch wiring from’ 65-'75/12-14 ga?
I also agree with Bradley.
#2. Now lookup old cloth covered wiring and Knob & Tube.:twisted:
There still seems to always be a lot of misconceptions regarding AL conductors. Remember now if you ever need additional incite on it…just let me know as I kinda have some additional understanding of it (but only a little so bare with me…get it bare…never-mind)
