Bob- Sorry for the delay but I've thinking about what you said and I agree with you basic thought about verifying operation but there are some things that I need to verify, like polarity, GFCI protection, grounding and continuity. Maybe they don't do that in your area but we do here in Michigan. Just Friday I checked countertop receptacles in a kitchen only to find out that the electrician was stuck in the past and only had protection within 6' of the sink. Now if a furnace for example, is connected properly and it don't work that's not a code violation. Your obviously a very skilled and concerned electrician, I can tell from your comments on this forum. Not everyone is that way. There are job that go in that really justify my existance. Been an inspector for 20 years so I've been beat on by experts [Linked Image]
