Thanks for the input everyone, I guess I will put in my quote that the Inspector may require it, but that I am not sure.
I honestly thought that the entire country went strictly by the NEC and that an inspector could not require something that wasn't in the NEC at the time. I think in one of my renewal classes I was told that.
In the 80's I had an inspector who required copper services and would tell you so before you even began the job. He justified it by saying he was near the Ocean and wanted to prevent problems associated with the salt water.
Does that kind of stuff still happen? Not that I'm a big fighter on that kind of stuff, If I know an inspector looks for something, I will do it, it's just that I don't have the time to find out what each town's inspector will do.
I am warning the customer that the it may cost him about $80.00 more for the aec supression.
