I can't remember how close a service switch needs to be. I have 2 outside compressors that are wired from an exterior panel with breakers, but the panel is 12-15 feet away and around a bush. Should there be a service switch located within 6 feet of the compressors? Thx for the help. I searched and could not find a distance.

Hi everyone,

I'm an aspiring inspector (passed the school exam but haven't yet taken the State) and I'm looking to join inspectors out on the field as part of my learning process (Chicago area). I'd gladly lend a hand on site.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me if Inspection21 school is a reputable school? My first choice was NIBI because it was recommended by a few different individuals, however, its location isn't convenient. Thank You.

Hey everyone,

We're in the process of redesigning NACHI.ORG, and we wanted to let y'all take a look at the most recent beta version.

The new site matches the existing site for the most part, but features a bunch of minor tweaks that will make the site easier to use and more pleasant to read. The redesign is the first step in a few site upgrades with have lined up.

Take a look, and let us know if you run into any issues:
