Q: Can I use a 3/0 wire for 200-amp service?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use a 3/0 AWG wire for a 200 amp service, but only if it is made of copper, as 3/0 copper wire has an allowable ampacity of 225 amps. If you are using aluminum or aluminum copper-clad wire, you need to use at least 4/0 AWG.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between watts and volts for a light bulb?

• <div><p>Watts and volts represent distinct aspects of a light bulb&rsquo;s functionality. Volts measure the electrical force that drives the current through the bulb, determining its compatibility with the power source. Watts, on the other hand, quantify the bulb&rsquo;s power consumption and indicate its brightness level. Higher watts generally mean a brighter bulb.</p></div>

Q: Should you unplug a buzzing outlet?

• <div><p>You should never unplug or touch a buzzing outlet. If there are appliances plugged in that are causing the buzzing, wait until the appliance is turned off (or turn it off yourself) and then unplug it from the outlet. Test the outlet by plugging in something that won&rsquo;t use much power&mdash;a small lamp works well. If the outlet still buzzes, have a pro investigate why.</p></div>

Q: What makes an electrical outlet stop working?

• <div><p>There are various reasons <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-my-electrical-outlet-not-working.htm">why an electrical outlet can stop working</a>. You might have to do some detective work to understand whether it&rsquo;s a problem with the attached appliance, the outlet itself, or a faulty breaker. Sometimes, old age or loose wiring are to blame; other times, it can be as simple as an overloaded circuit tripping the system and cutting power. If you&rsquo;re troubleshooting doesn&rsquo;t solve the mystery or repairs, or replacements are required, it&rsquo;s time to call in the pros.</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.
