6Second problem is that you/or the owner and the tenant or Joe down the street cannot touch the panel breakers except to turn them off and on, in most areas. If it is the owner's house that only their family lived in it is okay, but once it becomes a rental, then they need a licensed electrician to do any work. Should be able to find out about needing an electrician in local codes on rentals.crip659– crip6592023-11-01 13:03:53 +00:00Commented Nov 1, 2023 at 13:03

5Send an email to your state's board of professional licensing for engineers; ask if an engineering license satisfies a requirement to have an electrician license (it doesn't). In your request politely ask for the reply to be on official letterhead. As a licensed professional (electrical) engineer myself, I am confident that they will be happy to oblige, and that their opinion will carry some weight with your engineer friend. You don't need an exact code he's breaking, you need to remind him that his license (assuming he has one in the first place) ain't an electrician's license.Ben Voigt– Ben Voigt2023-11-01 21:23:30 +00:00Commented Nov 1, 2023 at 21:23

@RMDman - if you're still around I'm genuinely interested in hearing how things turned out and how the convincing him he was wrong worked out. Was fridge [startup] amperage ever measured?ron– ron2024-04-09 18:25:21 +00:00Commented Apr 9, 2024 at 18:25

@ron, Nothing was done. It was not my desire to get anymore involved in this thing. I warned the owner and she said she would work out things with her brother, ( the Engineer.) If any amperage reading were done i was not aware. I fully agree the Refrigerator was most likely the issue, but as I said, not my fridge, not my breaker not my house.RMDman– RMDman2024-04-09 20:19:31 +00:00Commented Apr 9, 2024 at 20:19

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. electrical-panel), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
