Q: Where do ohms fit into electrical standards?

• <div><p>Compared to amps, volts, and watts, ohms are a different kind of measurement, though also very common. Ohms show the resistance of materials like wiring: How much they impede the flow of electrons. The reason household wiring is usually copper or aluminum is that these materials are affordable and also have lower ohms, which means low resistance/high conductivity.</p></div>

Q: How are outdoor electrical outlets different from indoor electrical outlets?

• <div><p>Though they may seem similar at a quick glance, outdoor electrical outlets are different from indoor electrical outlets in that they have extra safety precautions to prevent electrical hazards. These include GFCIs, which some indoor outlets have, and a watertight cover that allows you to use electricity from the outlet even on a rainy day.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include electrical work?

• <div><p>Yes, professional installations typically include wiring, switches, and circuit adjustments for safe operation.</p></div>

Q: Why do I have lights but no other power?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons your lights may be on, but the rest of your electrical outlets and appliances are not working. The first is that while one circuit blew out, the lights may be on another circuit than your other electrical fixtures. Alternatively, your powerless appliances may be plugged into a GFCI outlet that was tripped and needs to be reset. If these issues aren&rsquo;t responsible for the problem, you may have dead outlets or a wiring issue. Either way, you should contact an electrician to identify and fix the issue.</p></div>

Q: Do these code requirements apply to kitchen lights, too?

• <div><p>No, there aren&rsquo;t additional code requirements for kitchen lights. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/make-your-kitchen-lighting-fit-your-design-style.htm">Kitchen lights</a> and other electrical circuits in the kitchen have different code requirements. Outlets need to be particularly robust because of their frequency of use and proximity to liquids. If you need help determining where to install outlets in your kitchen, consult a local electrician who can ensure that placement is functional and up to code.</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...
