Q: Does smart glass use a lot of electricity?

Q: How big of a generator do I need for a transfer switch?

• <div><p>You can determine what size generator you need for a transfer switch by matching the switch to the largest outlet on your generator. Larger generators can power up to 10 circuits, while most 5,000-watt generators can provide power to six circuits. So, if your generator&rsquo;s largest outlet is 30 amps, you&rsquo;ll need a 30-amp transfer switch.</p></div>

Q: What is the purpose of pigtail wiring?

• <div><p>The purpose of pigtail wiring is to connect multiple wires to a single terminal on a device. Pigtailing involves splicing a short length of wire, called a pigtail, into the multiple wires that need to be connected. The pigtail wire is then connected to the single terminal on the device, allowing all of the wires to be connected at once. This practice helps to simplify the wiring process, reduce clutter, and ensure a secure and reliable electrical connection.</p></div>

Q: Should a refrigerator be plugged into a GFCI?

• <div><p>Typically, refrigerators should not be plugged into GFCI outlets. This is another appliance with a motor that can be prone to a little current leakage. Using a standard outlet saves nuisance tripping and the potential of waking up to a refrigerator full of warm food. The only exception is when the refrigerator is in a garage, where all outlets must be GFCI.</p></div>

Q: How often should electrical systems be inspected for safety?

• <div><p>Systems should be checked every 2-3 years or whenever signs of age appear, maintaining network integrity and safety at all times.</p></div>

Very satisfied with his work. He installed an insulated double door, put in a new window for me, and did electrical work in my chicken coop. Everything has been working great since he installed them over a year ago 👍🏻 Would definitely recommend Alpha Electric!

"Aaron the owner came out on a weekend too do a wiring inspection on a house my wife and I just moved into. I made several calls trying too find an electrician and in a timely manner. Several tried to upcharge (and didnâ t know I am a licensed contractor in the state I just moved from. ) He provided not only honest answers but a fair affordable price that I can safely feel confident calling again for any further electrical needs"
