Q: Does a higher BTU use more electricity?

• <div><p>Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what&rsquo;s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of faulty electrical wiring?

• <div><p>Common signs of faulty electrical wiring include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, burning smells near an outlet, buzzing or humming sounds, electrical shocks or tingles when handling outlets of appliances, and hot or discolored outlet switches. If you notice one or more of these signs, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hire-electrician.htm">hire a licensed electrician</a> for an average cost of<b> $50 to $100 per hour</b> to diagnose and make necessary repairs.</p></div>

Q: Can you use electrical tape to cap off wires?

• <div><p>No, you should always use proper electrical wire caps to safely cap off electrical wires. Electrical tape isn&rsquo;t as durable as electrical caps and can deteriorate and separate over time, exposing the live wires. The only way to use electrical tape for this project is to wrap it around the caps themselves to reinforce them and create an even stronger connection, preventing an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-an-electrical-emergency.htm">electrical emergency</a>.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if power lines fall on my property?

• <div><p>Call your utility company immediately. Do not go outside, even in your own yard, and keep pets indoors. Downed power lines pose a serious electrocution hazard. They can also cause large power surges that could damage your appliances, so it&rsquo;s a good idea to shut down power to your home if possible. If your breakers trip, leave them off until the utility company finishes its repair work.</p></div>

Q: Are wires hot if the light switch is off?

• <div><p>Yes, wires are still hot, even if the light switch is off. The only way to ensure the wire is no longer live and that you can work with it safely is to open your circuit breaker, locate the breaker for the outlet you&rsquo;re working with, and turn off the breaker for that outlet.</p></div>

"Jim for Donhohues Lightning Rods installed the lightning rod system in my home. When the work was done I was very happy as their installer came as per promised time, and perform the work.
