Know The Electrical Conditions Before Purchasing a Home
[ad#block]Question: I looked at a house today that I was interested in buying. The breaker box was stolen and wires cut off 3 foot from the floor. Can this be repaired by using junction boxes, or does every wire in the house have to be totally reinstalled. I would like for the home to be up to the current electrical codes.
