The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay non-bolt related electrical question

i hope no one throws anything at me but i am so used to getting answers from here that i thought i would seek help with my latest dilemma.

i am hauling out an old furnace and i have got to where i need to get rid of the electrical junction boxes and wiring involved. i bought this place a couple years ago and i am turning it into a coffeeshop. i had a new 200 amp service put in and there was no breaker indicated for the furnace.

i have a multitester and i was wondering how to use it to check to see if the furnace shut-off box has power going to it.

i'd rather not fry myself, the multitester or the building.

:confused: :confused:

I don't think that this is the type of question you should ask in a forum. I am not saying that because I think it's off topic - I think that you need to be shown how to do this safely by someone with experience. 120/240 VAC can kill you. Please ask an electrician or a friend with experience in this area to help.

good idea(s)!
i'll get a 120 volt test light AND get a freind of mine over here who is an electrician/contractor, there are a few other questions like this around the place so it is worth his trip.

thanks again
