Q: What size electrical meter riser do I need?

• <div><p>Many homes have a <b>200-amp service</b>, which requires a <b>2-inch</b> electrical meter riser. Larger homes or homes that require more energy for several appliances and devices may have a 400-amp service. For <b>400-amp service</b>, opt for a <b>4-inch</b> electrical meter riser.</p></div>

Q: What causes half a string of Christmas Lights to go out?

• <div><p>If only half of your string of Christmas lights is out, it likely means that you have a broken or loose bulb somewhere along the strand. That&rsquo;s why we suggest inspecting and testing each bulb to ensure it&rsquo;s still tight and functioning properly. Luckily, this problem is quickly solved with a DIY fix, such as replacing the bad bulb or repairing a damaged shunt.</p></div>

Q: What does a multimeter not measure?

• <div><p>A multimeter does not measure frequency, charge, inductance, and other electrical quantities. Instead, it measures voltage (AC and DC), current, and resistance.</p></div>

Q: How do I hire a reliable electrician?

• <div><p>The process of hiring a reliable electrician begins by searching for local professionals and verifying that they hold a master electrician certification and the proper licensing for your area. After that, you should read through reviews from past customers to see the kind of service you can expect from the contractor, as well as look at the Better Business Bureau&rsquo;s (BBB) website to check for a history of company complaints. You can also ask for customer references to make sure you&rsquo;re choosing a reputable professional.</p></div>

Q: How do you install an outlet from existing wiring?

• <div><p>To install an outlet from existing wiring, you&rsquo;ll need to choose a location where you can already access existing wiring. The easiest way to do this is to install an outlet on the other side of the wall of an existing outlet. </p><p>Since the wiring is already in place, all you have to do is connect a new cable to the existing wiring and then connect the correct wires through the wall&mdash;to the new electrical outlet. Place your new outlet into the opening in the wall and then connect the correct wires to the appropriate terminal screws.</p></div>
