I realize that just because it’s a new house doesn’t mean you won’t have problems. But what really bothers me is the couple of errors that could have resulted in a fire. I’ve attached a pic of the melted stove wires and the vent blockage. The repair guy said that the melted wires are usually caused by not tightening the connections sufficiently causing sparks.
