A subpanel moved out of a closet
The replacement was mounted to face the hallway. Its circuits were transferred and tested, with labeling and related controls completed on the following visit.
What needed to change
The existing subpanel was inside a closet. The crew removed it and positioned the replacement so the panel face opened toward the hallway.
How the circuits were moved
Before removing the old closet subpanel, the crew de-energized the system and verified that voltage was absent. They then removed the old panel, mounted and secured the replacement in its hallway-facing position, and transferred the existing branch circuits. The field notes specifically document moving the neutrals and grounds along with those circuits. They also record checks of conductor sizes, breaker ratings, and terminations before the system was placed back in service.
What was verified afterward
After re-energizing, the crew checked the circuits for voltage, continuity, and operation. The recorded checks found them functioning with no faults observed. The photograph captures the wall-open stage of the relocation, when the conductor paths were still visible.
The following visit
On the next visit, the new subpanel was labeled and the switch beneath it was moved into the cabinet. The crew installed, paired, and tested Caseta switches and remotes for the hallway, entry, and exterior lights. They also ran a grounding conductor for the pool equipment to the pool subpanel and inspected the main-panel bonding.
