Electrical Wiring Run Through HVAC Ducts

An example of electrical wiring running through HVAC ducts in the attic as found during a Glen Burnie Home Inspection. There's a number of things wrong here such as open HVAC ducting. The big hazard though is running electrical wiring through ducting and subject to humidity and temperature changes, as well as potential electrical shorting. We find extemely dangerous situations such as these where others might not.
