Q: What size electrical meter riser do I need?

• <div><p>Many homes have a <b>200-amp service</b>, which requires a <b>2-inch</b> electrical meter riser. Larger homes or homes that require more energy for several appliances and devices may have a 400-amp service. For <b>400-amp service</b>, opt for a <b>4-inch</b> electrical meter riser.</p></div>

Q: Can I plug a generator directly into my house?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn&rsquo;t use an extension cord to plug a generator directly into your home without using a transfer switch. That&rsquo;s because systems like pumps and HVAC fans need a steady power source that might not be available directly from your generator alone. If you bypass the circuit breaker box, you risk damaging your electrical system, creating a risk of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-put-out-electrical-fire.htm">electrical fire</a> or electrical shock to you or any workers repairing lines on your local electrical grid.</p></div>

Q: Should you twist wires before using a wire nut?

• <div><p>You can twist the wires before using a wire nut, but it&rsquo;s not necessary. Electricians often twist wires before using a wire nut, which can help secure the connection and enhance electrical contact between wires. You can decide whether or not to twist the wires beforehand, or consult a local electrician if you need professional opinion. </p></div>

Q: Can you use electrical tape to cap off wires?

• <div><p>No, you should always use proper electrical wire caps to safely cap off electrical wires. Electrical tape isn&rsquo;t as durable as electrical caps and can deteriorate and separate over time, exposing the live wires. The only way to use electrical tape for this project is to wrap it around the caps themselves to reinforce them and create an even stronger connection, preventing an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-an-electrical-emergency.htm">electrical emergency</a>.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to power outdoor lights?

• <div><p>The easiest and best way to power your outdoor lights is with the use of outdoor outlets. Most building codes now require exterior outlets in homes, so you likely already have outdoor outlets available to plug into. However, you can have these outlets installed if your space doesn&rsquo;t currently include them.</p></div>

They were fine. They showed up when they said they were going. They picked up after themselves. They do what I asked them to do. They left in a timely manner. They were great. Price was perfect. I felt I wasn’t cheated in any way.
