    Does my electrical panel need to be better balanced?

    I recently had someone install a 50 A inlet connected to a 50 A circuit breaker on my electrical panel. I had some issues with the job he did.

    Gas Fireplace switch not connected to Electrical Panel?

    Hi all I want to replace the switch that turns on/off the gas fireplace and cannot find a breaker that would shut off the power to the switch. I thinks it's a stand alone switch to the fireplace. Is this correct? Is it safe to disconnect and replace? Thx!
