Default Is a UL listing mandatory for specialized electrical equipment?

Here's a different question. A long time ago when I had central air
installed, they added a breaker to my breaker box and ran wiring to the
outside to a disconnect and then to the A/C but no one ever came to

inspect
their work. Do A/C installers get a "pass" for things like that?


My A/C installer called a licensed electrician who got a permit.
Was inspected. Failed because the breaker they installed did not
have the correct sticker on it.
Breaker had to be replaced.
Inspector didn't even look at the wiring, just the stickers on the
breaker and external disconnect.
In Oregon.


Thanks for the data point. It's a little disturbing that the inspector
didn't bother to look at the wiring, just the stickers. If they got the
breaker choice wrong, I might suspect they did something else wrong.
