Wayne,

Get used to it. With what's on the current market, 6 out of 10 inspections down here involve Zinsco or Sylvania panels. 2 more will have FPE. Just dealt with one today from an inspection last week. The panel had a loud buzzing coming from one of the breakers that had an operating temperature of 126 degrees.

The servicing electrician said everything was fine and that the buzzing was a normal occurrence. Told him to put that in writing like I did and stand behind it when it failed, but couldn't get him to commit to it. His verbal report to the realtor that sent him was that I was too picky and paranoid. Of course, he earns 90 percent of his living from seller's realtors.

Document it or pay the price.
