Q: When should you turn off a circuit breaker?

• <div><p>You should always turn off a breaker whenever electrical work is being done. This step can prevent electrical shock and injury. Also, if a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-tell-breaker-tripped.htm#when-to-call-an-electrician">breaker is repeatedly tripping</a>, it can mean there is an electrical overload, and it should be shut off. You should contact an electrician to figure out the cause. Make sure to review how to turn off your circuit breaker safely if you do it yourself, and follow safety precautions to avoid severe injuries.</p></div>

Q: Can I run electrical conduit above ground?

• <div><p>Yes, you can run an above-ground electrical conduit and stay within National Electrical Code safety guidelines. Just make sure you check the code requirements of your project with the local building regulations office. You should work with a local electrician to complete this type of project due to the personal safety hazards.</p></div>

Q: What information should I have ready for the electrician when I reach out for an estimate?

• <div><p>Let them know exactly what type of job you need them to do, and be as specific as possible to get the most accurate estimate. A photo of your project might help them better understand your needs. Ask what kind of prep you should complete before they visit and what kind of cleanup to expect after the visit. Finally, ask how long the project usually takes. </p></div>

Q: Can I DIY electrical work?

• <div><p>Unless you&rsquo;re a licensed electrician, you should not DIY any electrical work in your home. Working with wires and electricity is potentially dangerous to both you and the structure you&rsquo;re working on, and it could lead to house fires or electric shock if you&rsquo;re not 100% sure what you&rsquo;re doing. There&rsquo;s a big difference between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-check-and-replace-switch-plates.htm">changing a light switch cover</a> and rewiring an entire home. If you&rsquo;re staring down a potentially difficult electrical job, give a pro a call.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to turn off the main breaker when using a generator?

• <div><p>As a safety measure, you should always turn off the main breaker while operating your generator&rsquo;s backup breaker. In addition, you should also switch off all appliance breakers so you don't have a power surge when the main breaker turns back on. And finally, turning off the main breaker prevents back-feeding, which endangers utility workers with the risk of electrocution. Back-feeding could also destroy the electrical circuits of your neighbors if they use the same power network.</p></div>
