Q: Can you provide details about manually opening electric gates?

• <div><p>Yes, electric gates can be opened manually in an emergency. All electric gates in North America are subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which requires at least two entrapment protection devices to be installed on an electric gate that allows emergency responders to bypass the gate and access the property.</p></div>

Q: Do you need an electrician to install a doorbell camera?

• <div><p>You may not always need to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/electrical/">local electrician</a> to install a doorbell camera. Wireless doorbell cameras, for instance, are simple enough for the average homeowner to install. They easily attach to your threshold and run on batteries, so no wiring is necessary.</p><p>However, wired doorbells with cameras likely require electrical work that should only be attempted by licensed electricians. You&rsquo;ll need to call a pro if you&rsquo;re working with a wired doorbell camera.</p></div>

Q: Do I really need a generator transfer switch?

• <div><p>Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-an-electrical-emergency.htm">electrical emergencies</a>. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. </p></div>

Q: When wiring your box how much wire should you leave in the box?

• <div><p>The National Electrical Codebook indicates that there should be at least 6 inches of wiring in the breaker box for connecting purposes. When in doubt, err on the side more, because you can always cut some wire off but you can never add it back on, and if you don&rsquo;t have enough you may struggle to finish wiring your breaker box properly.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to change from a two-prong to a three-prong outlet?

• <div><p>Changing from a two-prong to a three-prong outlet is a pretty basic project that usually costs around <b>$20 to $50</b>. If you have a grounded fuse box, your electrician should be able to do the task quickly and easily; however, if they have to upgrade your electrical panel or ground the box, the cost could increase. </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,...

They were okay. They didn't actually wind up but spent quite a few hours there but they didn't actually wind up doing work that needed to be done. I have bread and breakfast and I needed electrical work and wanted the TV's plug-in to be right behind flat screen TV and they actually wound up...

The rewiring was completed, but was not verified to be correctly done. My tenant was there the day the dryer was wired, and the electrician asked him if he thought the wiring looked ok. My tenant is a farmer, not an electrician. Miller Electric did not attempt to start the dryer and confirm...
