Q: What happens to a generator when the power comes back on?

• <div><p>When power is restored to your home, the transfer switch will return to utility power after about 10 seconds.

Q: What’s the difference between LED and incandescent lights?

• <div><p>Incandescent lights are glass bulbs with metallic filaments inside, while LEDs feature &ldquo;light emitting diodes&rdquo; that illuminate when they come in contact with an electrical current. You can buy either for your Christmas lights, but note that LED lights are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan.</p></div>

Q: What is the standard electrical outlet?

• <div><p>A 3-prong, 15-amp, 120-volt outlet is standard in the U.S. These have two vertical slots and a U-shaped grounding hole, which suits most home electronics, from televisions to microwaves. Three-pronged outlets are safer than 2-pronged ones, as the third wire, known as the grounding wire, helps prevent shocks and electrical fires.</p></div>

Q: How do I check my electrician license in New York?

• <div><p>You can check if an electrician is licensed in New York by using the online license verification search tool offered by the <a href="https://www.op.nysed.gov/verification-search">New York State Education Department</a>. The database is updated daily and gives you the option of searching by license number, contractor name, or the name of the business.</p></div>

Q: Do batteries stop charging when they are full?

• <div><p>To ensure batteries stop charging when they&rsquo;re full, you&rsquo;ll need to install a charge controller that determines when the battery is full. Once the battery is fully charged, the charge controller will stop the energy flow or divert the energy to the grid or other appliances. Without a charge controller, the battery may continue to charge, which can lead to less productivity and potential damage.</p></div>
