Electrical questions, answered by experts

The dials on an electrical meter simply represent the number of kWh you have used since it was installed. In a five-dial setup, the left-most dial represents tens of thousands of kWh, while the next dial to the right represents thousands of kWh. The following dials going to the right represent hundreds, tens, and ones.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours. 

Moving an outlet usually costs between $25 and $300. The amount you'll pay depends on the type of outlet and the condition of the walls in your home. Exposed walls without drywall and insulation are the easiest for electricians to work on, but finished walls that will require repair afterward can drive up the cost.

Outlets should not be installed face-up on countertops, directly over bathtubs, sinks, or near showers. They also should not be installed near heating sources such as radiators, heaters, or heat-producing appliances. Consult a local electrician before installing a new outlet to ensure the location complies with local and national safety regulations.

Just as fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights, LED lights are more efficient to run than fluorescent lights. The specifics will vary from product to product, but LED lights are typically twice as efficient as equivalent fluorescent lights. A 13-watt CFL bulb can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, but a 6- to 8-watt LED bulb can offer the same amount of brightness. Fluorescent lights offer about 50 lumens per watt, while LEDs offer about 100 lumens per watt. LED light bulbs typically last two to three times as long as CFL bulbs, too.
