    Default Equipment Disconnect Location

    Ok....what do the officials out there say about the equipment disconnect being "behind" the equipment out of reach of the technician? Would be at least a 4ft reach for the service tech. Garage attic access is bottom left corner of first photo out of view and is just a hole. No solid floor on this side. Attic stairs are in the hallway (top right of 1st pic in the background) with a solid floor all the way to the unit. 2nd picture is from other side of unit accessed from the master closet.

    Any particular code section to quote since this is a brand new home?

    Photos didn't attach.

    If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
