Wiring Faults
Electrician forgot to connect earth wire to the 
floor heat. It was hanging out at the rear of the wall 
behind the junction   Floor heat contractor reversed connections on the 
heater because there was a fault in the insulation in 
active floor heat junction in the floor. This allowed 
heater to work but with current returning in the 
earth wire.     Mains box where power enters the house   This is close up of mains box showing problem. 
Power companies try to claim these are the owners
problem but most are the aluminium cable from their
service like here but this had birds nest as well.
