Electrical questions, answered by experts

Licensed electricians should perform work for safety reasons; improper installations can prove hazardous or result in code violations currently.

There is no blanket figure for a residential home’s electrical load, since load varies by the size of the home, how many appliances are used, and the efficiency of their electrical systems. Typically, however, it’s safe to assume 40 to 60 amps is the average electrical load of a residential home. 

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.

When power is restored to your home, the transfer switch will return to utility power after about 10 seconds. Your generator will then run for a few more minutes to cool down before automatically shutting itself off. In most situations, your home will stay powered by the generator for at least five minutes, even after your power comes back on.

Replacing a standard outlet costs anywhere from $3 to $5 each for the material alone and an additional $9 to $35 per outlet for labor. This means you’ll pay around $11 to $40 per outlet overall. High-voltage outlets and GFCI outlets could cost up to $50 apiece. If you're replacing all of the outlets in your home, you could pay closer to between $900 and $3,000.
