Q: What are the signs of faulty electrical wiring?

• <div><p>Common signs of faulty electrical wiring include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, burning smells near an outlet, buzzing or humming sounds, electrical shocks or tingles when handling outlets of appliances, and hot or discolored outlet switches. If you notice one or more of these signs, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-electrician.htm">hire a licensed electrician</a> for an average cost of<b> $50 to $100 per hour</b> to diagnose and make necessary repairs.</p></div>

Q: Do whole-house dehumidifiers use a lot of electricity?

• <div><p>Dehumidifiers typically use 300 to 700 watts of electricity per hour, whereas portable dehumidifiers use about 40 watts per hour. The exact amount of electricity your dehumidifier will generate depends on its capacity and energy efficiency. Generally, higher-capacity dehumidifiers generate more electricity than lower-capacity units, but they also usually have better energy efficiency over the long run. </p></div>

Q: How many outlets can you run off one wire?

• <div><p>The number of outlets you can run off one wire depends on the circuit's amperage and your local electrical codes. Generally, you can have up to eight outlets or light fixtures on a single 15-amp circuit. For a 20-amp circuit, you might accommodate more, but ensuring the total load is within the circuit's capacity is crucial. Always consider the power usage of connected devices to prevent overloading. Consult local electrical codes or a licensed electrician for precise guidelines and safety.</p></div>

Q: Does wiring have to be redone if I get a dimmer switch?

• <div><p>No, wiring does not need to be redone to get a dimmer switch, as they work with single-pole and three-way switches. Just ensure you choose a dimmer that is compatible with your wiring, fixture, and lightbulbs. Most homes built after 1985 have neutral wiring and work with almost all dimmers. If your home was built before 1985 and you don&rsquo;t have an updated electrical system, you may have to use a non-neutral wiring dimmer.</p></div>

Q: What much does it cost to fix faulty wiring?

• <div><p>The cost of fixing faulty wiring depends on the type of repair required. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-replace-wire-electrical-meter-box-10-feet-side-house.htm">Replacing an electrical service line</a>, for example, can cost up to $500. Rewiring an entire house will cost at least several thousand dollars. Replacing old wiring like knob and tube wiring will be even more expensive, but fortunately that kind of outdated wiring is fairly rare. Always get an estimate from a reliable electrician to learn the cost details. </p></div>

In their opinion, they felt like they needed to replace all of the wiring again. I had just done this 5 years ago, so I felt like if they would just replace the box where the deterioration took place, that this would be sufficient. They said they did not feel safe doing this. They also quoted...
