Installing Common Area Electric in a 3-4 unit.

A search on BP might even find links for this since I recall posting it previously.One other reason I have encountered in the City of Phila is that the electricity for the fire alarm system must not be fed from a meter that is a tenant meter (since the tenant power could be shut off due to non-payment).I don't think this will run as high as 10K unless you are doing lots of re-wiring.You will need an extra meter; since you say it has four, I'm going to guess you might have to replace the four-meter enclosure with a larger enclosure that is able to handle at least five meters.

Probably a combination of issues; perhaps "fishing in the wrong pond" for subs, a few miscommunications with a quote from a sub based on a description as opposed to an actual inspection, from an owner that, not being an AC person may miss relevant issues, are these new or used units, did the handler "fit" into the enclosure, etc.
