Q: What are the wire sizes and numbers?

• <div><p>The American Wire Gauge system calculates wire size diameters using the complicated formula D(AWG)=.005&middot;92((36-AWG)/39) inch. A simpler rule of thumb is that every six-gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter, and every three-gauge decrease doubles the wire&rsquo;s cross-sectional area. On the other hand, wavenumbers are typically measured in reciprocal meters (1/m or m&minus;1) or reciprocal centimeters (1/cm or cm&minus;1).</p></div>

Q: Do I need to hire an electrician when I have insulation installed?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re moving wires, installing new wires, or installing new fixtures in the space you&rsquo;re insulating, then you will need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/electrical.htm">hire a licensed electrician</a> to do that portion of the job for you. However, if you just intend on replacing old insulation or adding new insulation over existing insulation, then you don&rsquo;t need to hire one. Your insulation installer will work around wiring, fixtures, outlets, and switches, even if they&rsquo;re installing fiberglass batts in the voids where wires run. However, you will need an electrician if you suspect a problem with your wiring during the insulation work.</p></div>

Q: Can a bad light switch cause a fire if the light switch is off?

• <div><p>If a light switch is off, it&rsquo;s very unlikely to cause a fire. For a fire to start, the switch has to be on, activating an electrical current, and the wiring must be faulty. However, the malfunctioning light switch could cause an intermittent current to move across the electrical wire. This issue could become a fire hazard with another device connected to the wire. You should replace the bad light switch as soon as you notice it or call an electrician.</p></div>

Q: Will the breaker trip if an outlet burns out?

• <div><p>A breaker won&rsquo;t always trip if an outlet burns out. If the outlet is overloaded or has a short circuit, the breaker is designed to trip and discontinue power to the outlet. However, some wiring problems that can burn out an outlet may not cause the breaker to trip, so don&rsquo;t rely on it as a signal that something is wrong.</p></div>

Q: Which is cheaper to run: LED or fluorescent?

• <div><p>Just as fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent lights, LED lights are more efficient to run than fluorescent lights. The specifics will vary from product to product, but LED lights are typically twice as efficient as equivalent fluorescent lights. A 13-watt CFL bulb can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, but a 6- to 8-watt LED bulb can offer the same amount of brightness. Fluorescent lights offer about 50 lumens per watt, while LEDs offer about 100 lumens per watt. LED light bulbs typically last two to three times as long as CFL bulbs, too. </p></div>

"We have American Home Shield warranty. We did have some plumbing and electrical work done. I have no idea who the service was because we did it through the home warranty. They have a $75 deductible for everything. American Home Shield has been great, definitely A across the board. The $75 deductible seemed great for cost and professionalism. They have a web site, Hub, where you can request service and everything, so A across the board for them. They are punctual and they cover the range of plumbing and - they cover a lot of issues with the home so I can always go to them if anything goes wrong, from plumbing to electrical to appliances. They've got me covered across the board."
