Q: How much electricity does a radon mitigation system use?

• <div><p>The average radon mitigation system uses about 876 kWh of electricity per year, although the exact amount of electricity used will vary depending on the size of the radon fan. Once the system is installed, the annual increase to your energy bill could range from <b>$30 to $300 per year</b>, again depending on the size of the fan.</p></div>

Q: Are smoke detectors hardwired in?

• <div><p>Smoke detectors come in two different options: hardwired or battery-operated. While hardwired units are attached directly to the home&rsquo;s electrical system, a battery-operated smoke detector only needs a simple battery for operation and can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. Some homeowners may mistakenly think their battery-operated units are hardwired in because all their units are interconnected, but many battery-operated units can operate within a smoke alarm network in your home.</p></div>

Q: Will the breaker trip if an outlet burns out?

• <div><p>A breaker won&rsquo;t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don&rsquo;t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.</p></div>

Fantastic. Cannot recommend highly enough. We bought a house built in 1957, and the last remodel had been done sometime in the 70's. We completely gutted the main floor and attic to studs, and rebuilt from there. New layout, the whole deal. Ward did a complete rewire, new panel, data lines,...
