said by scott_urman:Nobody seems to have mentioned California yet, here in the Bay Area nobody has basements either (unless the house is built into the hill, then the bottom level is kind of a basement). We keep our washers and dryers inside but the electrical panel is outside.
So with how popular outdoor panels are in some parts of the USA, so do breakers prematurely trip when they have a southern exposure and turn into an oven in the southern sun?
I know same argument can be made about indoor panels with an AC register blowing at them, or in a cold basement.
