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>

Q: What is the safest way to pull out an electrical cord from the wall outlet?

• <div><p>The safest way to pull an electrical cord from the wall outlet is by gently but firmly grabbing the plug and pulling it out. Pulling on the cord instead of the plug can cause damage to the cord, leading to an increased risk of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/electrical-threat-hiding-your-walls.htm">electrical problems</a> like fire or electric shock. If you notice damaged wiring on an appliance or device, it&rsquo;s best to stop using it immediately. </p></div>

Q: Can I tell a technician what kind of capacitor I need?

• <div><p>The safest option is to let a technician conduct the inspection. However, if you are certain that the capacitor failed and you take all precautions to avoid electric shock, you can take a look yourself. Usually, you can open the front panel of the unit and use a flashlight to find the small capacitor cylinder. It should have a sticker on it that provides its product number, capacity, and similar information that you can note when talking to a contractor.</p></div>

Q: Is 200 amps enough for a house?

• <div><p>In general, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/difference-between-100-amp-200-amp-service.htm">200 amps is enough for a house</a> with a square footage of up to 1,800, or the average three-bedroom home. A 200-amp service allows your home to warm and cool itself while running multiple appliances at once. It's a good option for homes that have been extended, or after adding new appliances. 200-amp service is the current standard for homes, so in most cases, it will work for you. </p></div>

Q: Do you wire the switch or outlet first?

• <div><p>When wiring a switch, the power typically comes into the receptacle first. The neutral wire goes straight to the outlet, while the hot wire is split. You'll need a wire nut to splice the hot wire back to one of the receptacles, but you will also tie another wire into that same wire nut and run to the switch. That way, you can control the flow of electricity to that particular receptacle by turning the switch on and off.</p></div>

Austin Fish and Coe were both great to work with. This was our first time ever having windows installed and they made the process easy. There were only a few minor issues but they both jumped in quickly to make sure everything was resolved. Over all we are happy with our new windows.
