Just to add maybe a little to lamplighters comments, I am changing a service tommorrow on a house that was suppose to have had a homeowner's inspection 5 years ago, but whoever did the inspection, failed to note to the buyer, that the service riser wires were frayed and in bad shape (outside insulation pratically gone). Now they're having the whole service changed, Outside meter etc. and subpanel on inside. Something like this I think should have been noted to the homeowner. The possibility of loosing the neutral on the riser could cause major damage to their appliances etc. within the house. I've had at least 2 calls in probably the last year, where the homeowner has lost appliances because of this. Hope this helps and adds to the other suggestions already given....Steve
