What costs the most on your electric bill?

• <div><p>Your heating and cooling systems cost you the most on your electric bill and make up 50% of your bill on average. Your washing machine, dryer, oven, and stove contribute significantly to your electric bill as well. Lights, fans, and smaller electronics add up, but aren’t the biggest energy consumers. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/10-ways-reduce-your-home-s-power-use.htm">reduce your power usage</a> by setting optimal temperatures on your thermostat and investing in energy-efficient appliances.</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>

Q: Is electrical wiring covered under a home warranty?

• <div><p>A home warranty usually covers electrical wiring work, depending on your specific plan. Most home warranty plans cover repairs for major appliances and home systems, including failure due to wear and tear. Home warranties aren&rsquo;t as common as homeowners insurance, but they are more likely to cover old wiring. </p></div>

Q: Do pool heaters use a lot of electricity?

• <div><p>When selecting a pool heater, it&rsquo;s important to think not just about the cost of the unit itself but also about how much it costs to run. Expect to pay about $100 per month to run a heat pump pool heater. A natural gas heater will cost twice that amount, while an electric pool heater costs about $250 a month.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to run power overhead or underground?

• <div><p>It's less expensive to run power overhead because it doesn&rsquo;t require excavation, and the power cables are less costly. However, underground electric service is better protected from weather and general wear and tear, so it&rsquo;s less likely to get damaged. When determining which way to run power, consult a local electrician to get an expect opinion.</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,...
