Need electric help

[02suburbanZ71]

My moms looking to buy a house and i was wondering if the fuse box appears to be in good condition along with the wiring.

First of all copper wires are correct. Aluminium Wiring would be a no no....

The Box is at its limit so no new electrical lines could be run, except with another panel added or upgraded.

The Breakers need to be updated, since electrical fires are common with those stab lock breakers.

The wiring was done unproffesional. normally it should appear all at right angles like a piece of art into their connections.

 

If you are not planning to add more appliances as what the house came with originally, ie split receptacles in the kitchen , etc.

to run without tripping the breakers, then I would purchase and upgrade the electrical box, with thinking to spend a couple of thousand for an electrician.....

Just my opinion...
