You may want to have him check and make sure the disconnect out side on pole infact shut the power down by seeing if all powe ris now out in the home

Getting ready to get back on it. I’ll shut the outside off first. Then the main on inside. Just finished eating. I’ll confirm the outside kill switch kills everything inside. This means check the thermostat too yeah?

Ole lady is semi interested in the reasoning. Basically I’m telling her the power pole in a nutshell feeds the breaker box. By removing that wire, which I gathered the wire goes “to” all my stuff inside, anyway, removing the wire which could possibly be shorting the breaker out, once removed we will find out of the power going to breaker is fine when breaker stays on ie good breaker. Or breaker clicks back to off with nothing on it, meaning bad breaker. Yeah?

not scientifically accurate but for the sake of analogy... yeah?

For sure, I know he'll appreciate it after he's solved the issue. Scary thing if you don't have experience. I had this same issue a couple months ago. I changed the ballast, filter and fan, breaker and outlet. None of that fixed the issue, it was my bulb going bad. It was only 4 months old so I didn't think to check it.

The box outside does feed your home. It runs through there so they know what to bill you. The disconnect (outside breaker) is there for safety and codes. Its used for this exact purpose. I would personally leave it all on while working just to make it all go faster but thats me ....i would never roecommend that to you or most anyone....
Those wires at the top of your inside box are what feeds the whole system. Then the "bars" that the breakers plug into feed the breakers..... then the wire coming out of the breaker feeds your home.
