Ok, slow process but they are done framing and ready for electrical. They pulled a whole house permit and the electric company is going to come out on Sat to disconnect the mains. I understand the electrical part but have some more basic questions (I am a little un-easy since I have never done a breaker panel and a whole floor for someone else). We are keeping their existing mains.
Do I need to know anything about changing a fuse panel to a breaker panel? The fuse panel is 100A and I will keep the breaker panel the same. I will probably buy a GE since I have heard about some Square D stuff being counterfeit. What about torque for the mains, big deal or not?
Since they are pulling a permit and hiring me (this is my brother in laws sister) do I need to do anything? I assume they are still liable since I am not a professional? Should I have them sign a liability waiver? I am not worried about doing this, just never changed out panels and dealt with permit work, etc. I can borrow a hydraulic Green Lee punch set from work in case the new panels knock-outs aren't in the right spot for their existing pipe, etc.
Thanks for all the help, any other tips would be appreciated.
