My house was built in the 1940s and 'flipped' ~2000. Much of the electrical has been replaced. The main breaker is outside, but it does not stay 'OFF' and doesn't even intermittently stop the power supply when I hold it in the 'OFF' position. The main panel is inside. I have not identified any subpanels except for the service breaker for the AC unit.
The main breaker, that doesn't work, has a lifetime warranty. Unless it is installed outdoors.
Is it worthwhile to replace the main breaker indoors, or should it be replaced at its current location, outside? I'm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania so we do have considerable rain and moderate ice and snow. I'm hoping to get some opinions before I perhaps find an electrician to review and bid on my project.
