Q: Do electric-start snow blowers need to be plugged in?

• <div><p>Yes, electric-start snow blowers need to be plugged in to start, but you can unplug them and go once they&rsquo;re up and running. Simply plug the snow blower into an outdoor outlet and press the start button. Once it starts, you can unplug it and use it freely. The idea for these types of snow blowers is to simplify the starting process from the typical pull-string starts.</p></div>

Q: In addition to grounding your outlets, you may want to hire an electrician for the following:

Q: How can you tell if a light bulb is LED or incandescent?

• <div><p>Most LED bulbs have a plastic covering, while incandescent bulbs will be made from glass. This is because LED bulbs don&rsquo;t produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs, so the covering doesn&rsquo;t need to be as heat resistant. Also, an LED light bulb will usually have a marking on its base that identifies it as an LED.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to move an electrical panel in the bathroom?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering whether an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/electrical-panel-located-10x12-bathroom-does-it-need-be-moved.htm">electrical panel in the bathroom</a> needs to be moved, the answer is yes. Due to the risks of shocks and electrical fires, electrical panels cannot be located in bathrooms per National Electric Code Volume 70. Additionally, gasses, vapors, liquids, and temperature fluctuations can all compromise the functionality of your electrical panel, so it&rsquo;s important to install it in a dry, cool, safe, and easily accessible location.</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,...
