Square D QO Line branch circuit breakers are also WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE of the electrical panel in which they are installed. Also, with the installation of a new service, the electrical grounding will be brought up to the standards of the current National Electrical Code. The grounding is so critical for personal safety that the National Electrical Code requires two independent grounding means. This is done by installing a copper-clad ground rod AND a separate copper grounding electrode conductor to the water pipe system. If the water meter is located inside the house, a jumper is placed around the water meter. This jumper insures a continuous ground if the meter is ever removed and if the unions used to connect the meter are not electrically conductive. It is required that we polish the wat
